Escalation: KSC sentences Hashim Thaci to 25 years
On Sept. 16, the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague sentenced former Kosovo president and onetime Kosovo Liberation Army leader Hashim Thaci, 58, to 25 years in prison. He was found guilty of four war crimes: murder, torture, cruel treatment and arbitrary detention committed during the 1998 to 1999 conflict with Serbia.
Three other former KLA leaders were convicted the same day, with the four receiving a combined 81 years in prison. In Pristina, crowds from the thousands to the tens of thousands watched the announcement on big screens, many waving KLA flags, and reacted with shock and disappointment.
