From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The last Balkan war-crimes suspect was extradited to the UN tribunal in The Hague yesterday, after being allowed last-minute visits with relatives.
Goran Hadzic, 53, is accused of atrocities stemming from Croatia's 1991-95 war, including the levelling of Vukovar and the massacre of some 200 Croat prisoners of war after the devastation of the town on the Danube.
A convoy of jeeps and police cars left the detention unit of the Serbian war crimes court yesterday morning, taking Hadzic first to Novi Sad, where he visited his ailing 86-year-old mother, then delivering him to Belgrade airport.
Hadzic was arrested on Wednesday after seven years on the run, after Serbian agents followed a money trail that began in December when Hadzic's aides tried to sell a Modigliani painting.
His extradition follows that of former Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladic, who was arrested on genocide charges nearly two months ago.
