│ Ratko Mladic died in UN custody on Aug 27 │

│ while serving a genocide life sentence. │

│ Republika Srpska's Dodik called the death a │

│ killing, described it as organized, and │

│ hailed Mladic as a fighter for Serbian │

│ freedom at a Banja Luka memorial. The death │

│ itself is confirmed across the Washington │

│ Post, CNN, Al Jazeera, NPR and ABC. A │

│ sitting entity leader publicly honouring a │

│ convicted genocidaire measures how little │

│ the Hague's findings are shared. │
