Switzerland to extradite Shemsi Nuhiu to Serbia

Shemsi Nuhiu, a former member of Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, will be extradited to Serbia after Swiss courts rejected his appeal not to be sent for trial in Serbia.

Serbia has charged Nuhiu, a former member of KLA and a citizen of both Serbia and Kosovo, with the unlawful imprisonment, torture, rape, intimidation, terror and robbery of Serb and other non-Albanian civilians in the Gnjilane area of Kosovo in 1999.

According to the allegations, from the beginning of June until December 1999, he tortured and killed 80 people while a further 153 were tortured and released. Thirty-four people remain missing.
