Two senior judges in Bosnia received threatening text messages over the weekend.
Ranko Debevec, president of the Court of Bosnia and Herzeoginva, which handles cases of war crimes, terrorism and organised crime, told BIRN he received a text message that began with the word ‘fatwa’, a ruling on Islamic law.
The message accused him of cooperating with the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and said he had been sentenced to death.
Jadranka Lokmic-Misiraca, vice-president of Bosnia’s judicial overseer, received a similar death threat the same day.
Let’s hope that police officials take these threats seriously, and bring the perpetrators to justice.
