Thousands of people attended the funeral of Ratko Mladic, the former Bosnian-Serbian military leader known as the "Butcher of Bosnia." The ceremony took place with military honors and attracted a significant crowd.
Mladic died on August 27 while serving a life sentence. His conviction resulted from genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed during the war in Bosnia.
The funeral prompted international reactions, with human rights organizations criticizing the military honors given to someone convicted of massive atrocities. International justice considered Mladic responsible for some of the bloodiest episodes of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.
