Timothy J. Heaphy: Almaz Nezirovic

Almaz Nezirovic: 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, according to Times Colonist. "Almaz Nezirovic stands charged with horrific acts of torture by the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina," U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said. "Today's ruling moves this matter one step closer to ultimate resolution in that country." RICHMOND, Va. - 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. In an opinion issued late Monday, a U.S. Magistrate judge said he found sufficient evidence supporting the allegations. He certified Nezirovic as eligible for extradition and passed the request along to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who will decide whether Nezirovic will be returned to Bosnia for trial.
