Vojislav Seselj charged with contempt of court

The UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague has filed contempt of court charges against Vojislav Seselj — leader of Serbia's ultranationalist Radical Party — while being on trial.

Seselj is on trial on charges including murder, torture and persecution of non-Serbs.

The tribunal said Seselj knowingly and willfully disclosed the identity of 3 protected witnesses by publishing information about them in a book he wrote.
