Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The first witness is set to give evidence at the resumed war crimes trial of former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic, about Serb forces violently purging his village in 1992.
Prosecutors said the first witness will be Elvedin Pasic, who was just 14 when Serbs overran his village and imprisoned men, women and children in a makeshift detention camp at a nearby school.
Mladic's trial started in The Hague, Netherlands, on May 16, but was almost immediately halted because prosecutors admitted that an apparent clerical error meant they failed to disclose to defence lawyers thousands of pages of evidence.
Mladic faces 11 charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. He denies wrongdoing.
If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
