Almaz Nezirovic

Almaz Nezirovic: A former Bosnian prison camp guard living in the U.S. has been certified for extradition to his native country to face war-crimes charges, pending approval by the State Department, according to The Chronicle Herald. In an opinion issued late Monday, a U.S. Magistrate judge said he found sufficient evidence supporting the allegations and Almaz Nezirovic is charged with torturing Serbians at the Rabic prison camp in 1992 during the civil war in the region of the former Yugoslavia now known as Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnian officials charge that Nezirovic beat, humiliated and traumatized unarmed civilian prisoners. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
