Two of his comrades, Idriz Balaj and Lahi Brahimaj, were also acquitted,
although Mr. Brahimaj has already served a six-year sentence for
torture handed down in an earlier trial. The judges ordered the three
men released immediately.
Supporters cheered and applauded in the courtroom’s public gallery in
The Hague, where proceedings were broadcast via videostream.
The men were expected to return later in the day to Kosovo, where Mr.
Haradinaj’s supporters — even before the verdict — said they hoped he
would return to politics. In Serbia, which is involved in crucial talks
with Kosovo, a former Serbian province before the war, the decision was
expected to provoke a new wave of angry reactions.
Earlier this month, the tribunal enraged the Belgrade government and
many Serbs, when an appeals chamber threw out the convictions of two
Croatian generals, Ante Gotovina and Mladen Markac. They had led a 1995
military campaign that recaptured Serb-occupied Croatian land and drove
more than 150,000 Serbs from Croatia.
The overturning of the Croatian and now the Kosovo convictions are seen
as serious setbacks for the prosecution. It has said in recent days that
it will seek a review of the Croatian appeals ruling, in which two of
the five judges wrote unusually sharp dissents.

ΚΚΕ: Καμία έκπληξη από την αθώωση του αρχηγού του UCK στη Χάγη
«Το Διεθνές Ποινικό Δικαστήριο της Χάγης αθώωσε τον διοικητή του UCK Ρ. Χαραντινάι, γιατί δεν βρήκε, όπως λέει, επαρκή στοιχεία για τις δολοφονίες – προβοκάτσιες, για το εμπόριο όπλων, ναρκωτικών κλπ.! Καμία έκπληξη.
Η έκπληξη θα ήταν αυτό το διορισμένο από τις ΗΠΑ και την ΕΕ δικαστήριο να έβλεπε τα κραυγαλέα εγκλήματα και να έβγαζε καταδικαστική απόφαση. Αυτά είναι τα όργανα τα οποία οι υποστηρικτές του καπιταλισμού τα παρουσιάζουν ως ανεξάρτητα και δίκαια».
