SARAJEVO, Jan 22: A senior UN official accused Bosnian and US governments on Tuesday of acting illegally when Sarajevo handed over last week six Arab terror suspects to US authorities.
“The rule of law was clearly circumvented in this process,” Madeleine Rees, head of the UN high commissioner for human rights in Bosnia, told a press conference.
There was “no legal basis” for the Bosnian government’s decision to take the six from a prison and hand them over to US authorities, she said.
“The same charge, therefore, would apply to those who received them from the Bosnian authorities,” she added.—AFP
