Hashim Thaçi Marks 57th Birthday in Detention Amid Ongoing War Crimes Trial

Hashim Thaçi, the former President of Kosovo, marks his 57th birthday today, April 24, 2025, while still in custody at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague. Thaçi has been in detention since November 2020, facing multiple charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity related to the Kosovo War. These charges include accusations of murder, torture, and persecution.

Despite his birthday, Thaçi remains under strict detention conditions while his trial progresses. The charges against him are part of a broader investigation into the actions of several political figures during the war. Thaçi has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence. His case continues to draw significant attention both in Kosovo and internationally.
