Jail for rioters
NZPA-Reuter Belgrade
Twelve ethnic Albanians have been jailed for between one and 13 years in connection with disorders in Yugoslavia’s Kosovo province, according to reports reaching Belgrade. Courts in the southern province had already imprisoned 10 people in 1 recent weeks for terms ranging from six to eight years for their roles in nationalist riots last April. * About 150 others, mainly ethnic Albanians, who form the majority of Kosovo’s 1.7 million population, are awaiting trial, including the alleged ringleaders. At least nine people were killed and more than 250 injured in the riots, after which 2000 people were arrested.
