Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader convicted of the massacre in Srebrenica, will be transferred to a UK prison to serve the rest of his sentence, the UK government announced on Wednesday.

In a statement, UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said: “Radovan Karadzic is one of the few people to have been found guilty of genocide. He was responsible for the massacre of men, women, and children at the Srebrenica genocide and helped prosecute the siege of Sarajevo with its remorseless attacks on civilians.
