Martic addressing troops \u003cbr/\u003eThe Yugoslav war crimes tribunal convicted a wartime leader of Croatia's rebel Serbs of murder, torture and persecution on Tuesday and sentenced him to 35 years in prison for a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign of non-Serbs in Croatia. \u003cbr/\u003eJudges said Milan Martic, 52, was responsible for hundreds of murders from 1991 when Serbs in the Krajina region of northeastern Croatia rebelled and set up a breakaway ministate until 1995 when Croatian forces recaptured the area. \u003cbr/\u003eHe also was convicted of ordering two days of indiscriminate cluster bomb shelling of the Croatian capital, Zagreb, in May 1995 that killed at least seven civilians and injured more than 200. \u003cbr/\u003eJudge Moloto said that Martic was entitled to credit for time spent in detention which, as of the date of the judgement, amounted to 1,855 days. \u003cbr/\u003eMartic, who made no comment throughout the hearing, stood still and showed no emotion as Moloto read out the verdict and his sentence.\u003cbr/\u003eThe three-judge UN panel said Martic was deeply involved in a criminal plot with other Serb leaders.\u003cbr/\u003eThey included Slobodan Milosevic, General Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic who intended to carve out an ethnically pure \"greater Serbia\" as Yugoslavia crumbled that would include about one third of Croatia.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The evidence is clear that the Krajina and RSK (Republic of Serb Krajina) leadership including Milan Martic endorsed Slobodan Milosevic's vision to create a Serb dominated state,\" said Moloto.\u003cbr/\u003ePredrad Milanovic, Milan Martic's defence lawyer, said he did not understand the conviction.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It was very clearly stated that Mr. Martic shared criminal intent with Mr. Milosevic to create a unified state of Serbia. That crime was never proven so I don't understand the conviction,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eMartic was indicted in July 1995, just two months after ordering the shelling of Zagreb.\u003cbr/\u003eThe two-day indiscriminate attack using rockets loaded with cluster bombs hit buildings including a school, a children's hospital and the Croatian national theatre, said Moloto. \u003cbr/\u003eIn media interviews, Martic admitted ordering the shelling to retaliate against Croatian attacks on Serbs and warn against further attacks, Moloto said.\u003cbr/\u003eDescribing attacks on Croat villages by Martic's forces, Moloto said that after the initial military push by Serb forces subsided, the civilian Serb population who did not manage to flee endured acts of killing and violence. \u003cbr/\u003eIn the villages of Hrvatska Dubica and Cerovljani in October 1991, Croats were forced from their homes, beaten and used as human shields by Serbs. \u003cbr/\u003eWhen they fled, Serbs moved into their homes, Moloto said.\u003cbr/\u003eOn October 20, 1991, more than 40 villagers were detained at a local fire station by Croatian Serb forces. \u003cbr/\u003eEleven were released or managed to escape, but the next day the remaining prisoners were taken to the banks of a nearby river and killed, Moloto said. \u003cbr/\u003eTheir bodies were dumped in several graves, including a mass grave judges visited during the trial.\u003cbr/\u003eMartic turned himself into the UN court in May 2002 and pleaded not guilty to all 19 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.\u003cbr/\u003eProsecutors called 45 witnesses to testify against Martic, including another Croatian Serb Milan Babic, who was sentenced to 13 years for his involvement in the atrocities and later committed suicide in the tribunal's detention unit after testifying against Milosevic.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Croatian general, Ante Gotovina, who drove the rebel Serbs out of Krajina in 1995 also is on trial at the UN court for offences committed in Operation Storm that successfully reclaimed the region.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
