US to strip alleged Bosnian war criminal of citizenship
AI Summary
The US Justice Department is seeking to revoke the citizenship of Kemal Mrndzic, alleging he concealed his service as a guard at Bosnia's Celebici prison camp during his immigration process. The camp, active during the Bosnian War in the early 1990s, was the site of torture, killings, and other atrocities against Bosnian-Serb inmates. Mrndzic was convicted in October 2024 of criminal fraud for misrepresenting his military service and persecution of inmates on his immigration forms and sentenced to over five years in prison in January 2025. US officials stated that the action demonstrates the government's commitment to preventing those who persecute others from benefiting from refuge in the US and protecting the integrity of the naturalization process. The Bosnian War followed the break-up of Soviet Yugoslavia and included the Srebrenica massacre, leading to the Dayton Peace Agreement.
