By Diana Jenkins, PRNEMonday, July 26, 2010
LONDON, July 27, 2010 - Businesswoman and human rights activist Diana Jenkins today issued the
following statement regarding the London court decision rejecting Serbia's
request to extradite Ejup Ganic:
"Today's decision is a victory for everyone working to bring true war
criminals to justice. Dr. Ganic's name had already been cleared and now there
should be no doubt of his innocence. Serbia's extradition request was nothing
more than a politically motivated attempt to distract attention from the
ongoing trial of Radovan Karadzic and to change the character of the war in
Bosnia. We must all now return to the most important work which is ensuring
that those truly responsible for genocide, mass murder and atrocities in the
Balkans and around the world answer for their crimes regardless of their
position."
Dr. Ganic was detained March 1 at Heathrow Airport on a Serbian
extradition warrant. Diana Jenkins posted Dr. Ganic's bail so he could fight
the warrant as a free man. The extradition request was rejected Tuesday by a
London judge.
