About Jadranka Šešelj
- Vojislav Šešelj (Serbian Cyrillic: ???????? ?????, pronounced [?ojisla? ?e?e?]; born 11 October 1954) is a Serbian politician and convicted war criminal.
- He is the founder and president of the nationalist Serbian Radical Party (SRS).
- From 1998 to 2000, he was Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia. He voluntarily surrendered to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in February 2003 but his trial did not begin until November 2007.
- Šešelj's trial was marred with controversy: he went on hunger strike for nearly a month until finally being allowed to represent himself, regularly insulted the judges and court prosecutors once proceedings commenced, disclosed the identities of protected witnesses and was penalized on three occasions for disrespecting the court.
- He did not call any witnesses in his defense. After spending 11 years and 9 months in detention in the United Nations Detention Unit of Scheveningen during his trial, Šešelj was permitted to temporarily return to Serbia in November 2014 to undergo cancer treatment.
- He led the SRS in the 2016 elections, and his party won 23 seats in the parliament. On 31 March 2016, he was acquitted in a first-instance verdict on all counts by the ICTY.
- The acquittal was appealed by prosecutors from the MICT, a United Nations Security Council agency which functions as oversight program of, and successor entity to, the ICTY.
- On 11 April 2018, the Appeals Chamber partially reversed the first-instance verdict, finding Šešelj guilty of crimes against humanity for his role in instigating the deportation of Croats from Hrtkovci.
- He was found not guilty on the remaining counts of his indictment, including all the war crimes and crimes against humanity that he was alleged to have committed in Croatia and Bosnia.
- Šešelj was sentenced to 10 years in prison, but because of time already spent in ICTY custody, he was not obligated to return to prison.
