NEDJO IKONIC - TRY HIM FOR GENOCIDE OR DEPORT HIM TO BOSNIA TO FACE GENOCIDE CHARGES!
ACT NOW: In January 2008, George W. Bush signed the U.S. Genocide Accountability Act of 2007, in part to help prosecute and convict Srebrenica Genocide fugitives hiding in the U.S. Now we have a case of Nedjo Ikonic, a Bosnian Serb fugitive who commanded a special police unit responsible for taking part in forcible deportations (ethnic cleansing) and mass murders of Bosniak civilians during the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide. U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman will likely set this Srebrenica Genocide fugitive free (on probation). The Judge is on record as saying "I am not a war crimes tribunal." Contact the Judge today and tell him that his Court has legal responsibility, under the U.S. Genocide Accountability Act of 2007, to either prosecute Nedjo Ikonic for genocide in Srebrenica or order his deportation for prosecution by a panel of international judges under the jurisdiction of the Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

NEDJO IKONIC - WANTED FOR GENOCIDE
Ikonic is wanted by Bosnian prosecutors for taking part in the Srebrenica Genocide when he commanded a police unit near Srebrenica during the 1995 massacre. However, the Bosnian government has not formally sought Ikonic's extradition. Ikonic admitted that he commanded a special police unit that was sent to guard a stretch of road near Srebrenica. He didn't disclose that on immigration forms in 2002 when he applied for refugee status.
According to the warrant, Nedjo Ikonic and the second man, Dejan Radojkovic of Las Vegas, carried out attacks on civilians during the Srebrenica Genocide.
Ikonic was originally indicted on eight counts of lying on immigration forms. However, on September 16 2008, Ikonic arranged a plea agreement with the prosecutor. The original indictment read: "Ikonic had assisted in the murder of Muslim men during the Srebrenica massacre in July of 1995." After plea bargain was signed, that line was absent from the two counts to which he pleaded guilty for. Although the two counts carry a maximum of 20 years in prison, under the plea agreement, Ikonic is more likely to get a probation.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman delayed the sentencing to give Ikonic's attorney Nikola Kostich more time to counter federal prosecutors' claims that his client committed war crimes. The Judge set the next hearing for Feb. 24, but added, "I am not a war crimes tribunal."
According to Newsday reporter Matthew McAllester, UN investigators believe men under the command of Nedjo Ikonic helped separate "over 1,000 Bosnian Muslim men from the women and children and transported these men to temporary detention sites in Bratunac on 12 and 13 July 1995." Bosniak prisoners were tortured and killed at these sites in the town of Bratunac; most were kept there before being taken to other places to be executed. People under Ikonic's command also articipated in the separation of men from women before at least 24 men and six women were the victims of "opportunistic killings" in the village of Potocari. Ikonic's men "were present at the [Kravica] Warehouse when the executions started and [they also] participated in the killings." More than 1,000 Bosniak men were shot dead in this episode on July 13. Additionally, men under his command summarily executed "a group of 10 to 15 Bosnian Muslim prisoners held in custody at Sandici meadow" on the evening of July 13.
