# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born 19 June 1945, Radovan Karadžić co-founded the Serb Democratic Party in Bosnia and Herzegovina and became the first president of Republika Srpska in 1992. During the Bosnian War (1992–1995), he presided over operations that led to his 1996 indictment for war crimes, including genocide against Bosniak and Croat civilians. He vanished that year and worked at a private clinic in Belgrade specializing in alternative medicine and psychology under an assumed identity. Arrested in Belgrade in July 2008, he was extradited to the Netherlands and charged with 11 counts before the ICTY. In 2016, he was convicted on 10 counts including the genocide in Srebrenica and sentenced to 40 years. An appeal in 2019 was rejected and his sentence increased to life imprisonment, which he is serving at HMP Parkhurst on the Isle of Wight.
