The court has come to a conclusion that there are reasons that the risk of preventing the performance of specialised Chambers procedures and the risk of committing further crimes continues to exist, reports the “Justice Vow for”.
Otherwise, Shala was arrested on 16 March 2021 by Belgian authorities and transferred to The Hague on April 15, 2021, on the basis of a request for co-operation in implementing the arrest warrant and order for transfer issued by Kosovo's Specialised Chambers.
In the confirmed indictment, Shala is charged with individual criminal responsibility in various forms of war crimes as arbitrary bans, cruel treatment, torture and illegal murder committed in the context of the armed conflict in Kosovo and in connection with this conflict.
The “commands that Mr. Shala was carried out approximately between May 17th 1999 and June 5, 1999, against persons who were held in the metal factory in Kukes (Albania), allegedly used by the Kosovo Liberation Army”, it is said in the communique. /Betimy for Justice
