The UN war crimes tribunal was scheduled Tuesday to pass sentence on two Bosnian Muslims and a Croat found guilty of crimes against Serb prisoners in a detention camp in the Bosnian town of Celebici.
Hazim Delic, 37, and Esad Landzo, 28, were the first Muslims to be convicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) for murder, torture and sexual assault committed in a detention camp for Serbs set up by Muslims and Croats in Bosnia in 1992.
All three had previously been convicted by the ICTY in 1998. Delic, Landzo and their Croat co-accused Zdravko Mucic, 37, received to 20, 15 and seven years imprisonment respectively.
The ICTY appeals chamber partly confirmed the guilty verdict against the three last Febuary, but could not fix new sentences because of unresolved legal issues.
The defendants were originally found guilty on two charges -- violation of the laws and customs of war and violations of the 1949 Geneva convention on the wartime treatment of civilians-- for one specific incident.
The appeals chamber ruled that was unjust and referred the case back to a lower court for sentencing. Tuesday´s sentence can be appealed again.
The prosecution has asked for the sentences of 20 and 15 years for Delic and Landzo to be upheld and wants that on Mucic to be raised to 10 years to take into account his role as camp commander responsible for the acts of his subordinates.
For years the Celebici suspects were the only Muslim detainees in the ICTY jail.
This year Delic and Landzo were joined by four high-ranking Bosnian Muslim generals, including the wartime commander of the Muslim-led Bosnian government army, Sefer Halilovic."
