Seven Bosnian Serbs convicted of genocide
Updated
A group of seven Bosnian Serbs have been convicted of genocide and jailed over the massacre of a thousand Bosnian Muslims men and boys at Srebenica in 1995.
After a two-year trial, the Bosnian war crimes court in Sarajevo ruled that the seven men helped in the systematic murder of more than 1,000 Bosnian Muslims in one day.
As many as 8,000 men and boys were killed in a week in Srebrenica.
The seven convicted men either carried out executions themselves using firearms or hand grenades, or prevented people from escaping from the warehouse.
They were given sentences ranging from 38 to 42 years.
The ruling comes a week after the capture of Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, also accused of genocide.
Mr Karadzic is expected to be sent soon to the war crimes tribunal in The Hague to face charges over his involvement in the Srebrenica massacre.
