Former JNA Commander Who Ordered the Shelling of Dubrovnik To Be Temporarily Freed from Jail on Compassionate Grounds
April 17th, 2008
Zagreb, April 17 (CP) – Pavle Strugar, a former Yugoslav Peoples’ Army (JNA) commander responsible for the shelling of the Croatian ancient walled city of Dubrovnik is to be temporarily freed from jail on compassionate grounds.
Although his first request for temporary release was rejected on insufficient evidence as he claimed his siblings were ill, just a week later he was granted temporary leave, as he submitted fresh evidence on the grave condition of his sister’s health.
Strugar was sentenced in 2001 to eight years in jail for his role in the bombardment of Dubrovnik.
