(12 Nov 2014) Judges at the United Nations war crimes tribunal for the former Yugoslavia on Wednesday approved the release of Serbian far-right leader Vojislav Seselj, due to ill health.
A spokeswoman for the tribunal in The Hague said Seselj was on provisional release "strictly due to humanitarian reasons".
Judges released Seselj so he could get medical treatment in Serbia on condition that he does not interfere with victims or witnesses and that he returns to the tribunal if summoned.
Serbian doctors who visited the 60-year-old say he is suffering from colon cancer that has spread to his liver.
Seselj is accused of recruiting notorious paramilitary forces during the bloody 1990s Balkan wars.
