Brief
I have no clue what is generally given as a sentence for arson, but those handed down in Nis, Serbia, for the 'burning of mosques' in March last year seem particularly light. They were prison terms of five months for one defendant and three months for seven others. Like the majority of Serbia failing to see a problem with men wanted for attempted genocide being upheld as heroes for the most part, sentences like this probably don't go a long way to reducing the likelihood of continuing religious and ethnic animosity.
