Fatmir Limaj and Isak Musliu were released today from the Tribunal’s Detention Unit in The Hague.

This follows a judgement rendered by the Tribunal yesterday which found both men not guilty of all charges against them relating to crimes committed in Kosovo in 1998.

Their co-accused, Haradin Bala, was found guilty and sentenced to 13 year’s imprisonment.

Since its start in 1993, the Tribunal has found 40 accused guilty and six persons not guilty of war crimes committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia.
