Former Kosovo Leader Hashim Thaci Gets 25 Years For War Crimes

A special court in The Hague has found Kosovo's former President Hashim Thaci guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The international court sentenced him to 25 years in prison. The judges ruled that he played a direct role in abuses committed during the 1990s conflict. The trial looked closely at charges linked to the fight for independence from Serbia. Prosecutors presented evidence detailing unlawful detentions, torture, and killings during the war. This ruling marks a major legal outcome for the tribunal handling crimes from the Balkan conflicts.
