Ratko Mladic's defense team has requested that the Hague Trial Chamber dismiss those counts and parts of the indictment based on incomplete information. The defense also asked the chamber to order the Prosecutor's Office to either complete them or remove them from the indictment, the Hague Tribunal announced on Tuesday. Mladic's defense team wants victims named The defense said the indictment does not include the names of the victims, and since it is difficult to list all names, the prosecution could add them in the annexes to the indictment, as was done in several other cases before the Hague. The defense notes that adequately investigating and preparing a defense for the generically listed victims would take decades. Mladic, former military leader of Serbs in Bosnia, is charged with two counts of genocide in Srebrenica and eight other Bosnia-Herzegovina municipalities, while another nine counts charge him with persecutions, extermination, murder, deportation, inhumane acts, terror, unlawful attacks on civilians and taking of hostages during the war in Bosnia-Herzegovia. He was arrested on May 26 in the village of Lazarevo near Zrenjanin, northern Serbia, and was transferred to Scheveningen prison on May 31. At his first appearance before the court, he postponed pleading on the charges, while on July 4 he was removed from the courtroom for disrupting the proceedings, and a non-guilty plea was entered on his behalf.
