A Bosnian Croat leader convicted of war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia died after drinking poison as he was declared guilty in court.
After hearing his 20-year jail sentence, Slobodan Praljak, 72, yelled that he wasn’t a war criminal and drank something from a plastic cup. His lawyer then told the tribunal that the defendant had ingested poison. Praljak was taken to the hospital, where he died.
"I reject your verdict," Praljak -- a military general who worked as a director in theater and television in his civilian life -- shouted before he drank the liquid during his sentencing live-broadcast from The Hague. He and five other Bosnian Croats were sentenced to terms ranging from 10 to 25 years in jail for the crimes committed when they were leaders of the self-styled Bosnian Croat state in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war in the 1990s.
