The Hague/Prishtina, 14 July 2025, dtt-net.com – The Appellate panel of Hague-based special war crimes court on Kosovo today reduced prison sentence from 18 to 13 years to a former member of the now disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), sentenced last year on charges of the war crimes of arbitrary detention, torture and murder during the 1998-1999 war of independence from Serbia.
“The Appeals Panel affirmed Mr Shala’s conviction for the War Crimes of Arbitrary Detention (count 1), Torture (count 3), and Murder (count 4).
