Balkans: Momcilo Krajisnik sentence cut

Link: Bosnian Serb leader sentence cut [BBC news]

The appeals chamber of the ICTY has overturned Momcilo Krajisnik's convictions for the murder, extermination and persecution (other than that based on deportation and forcible transfer) of non-Serbs in the 1992 - 1995 Bosnian war.  His sentence for the deportation, forcible transfer and persecution of civilians was upheld though and he will still serve 20 years in jail.

Radovan Karadzic testified at Krajisnik's trial and said he was not a member of the the presidency during the war.
