Bosnian-Croat war crimes suspect Slobodan Praljak 'takes poison' in UN court. Moments after his conviction is upheld, Slobodan Praljak drinks from a small bottle and shouts “I am not a war criminal“. UN judges have suspended a court hearing after a war crimes suspect “took poison“ when his 20-year sentence was upheld. Moments after his conviction appeal was rejected, former Croatian army chief Slobodan Praljak appeared to drink from a small bottle and yelled “I am not a war criminal, I oppose this conviction“. Praljak's lawyer said the 72-year-old “had taken poison“ and presiding judge Carmel Agius called for a doctor and halted the proceedings at The Hague. An ambulance arrived and paramedics were seen entering the courtroom. A guard at the court has confirmed Praljak is alive and receiving treatment..
