This came as a shock. Bosnian war criminal Slobodan Praljak drank poison and died to protest UN tribunal at the Hague. He was sentenced to 20 years and he choose to end his life than serve in prison.
I don't know how he got his hand on that substance but it got me really confused why anyone would choose that fate. He would've received the best treatment.
It got me thinking about earlier discussion I had with some members here whether death sentence is more merciful than lifetime prison or not. I always thought death sentence is harsher but this has made me think otherwise. Maybe I was wrong.
Death of wartime Bosnian Croat forces commander Slobodan Praljak follows dramatic scenes at UN tribunal in The Hague.

Yes I was more shocked at how he got access to that poison than what he did with it.

@cahaya1983 this image was surely more satisfying for the victims families than any other sentence he would've received.

@Madshadi His hands were shaking when he was drinking it. Can't help wondering what exactly was on his mind at that moment.

I think there are guards that will always lean toward bribery. Hopefully, in the end, he felt guilt toward his actions. It wouldn't change things, but it would make me feel better.
