AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Judges at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal on Tuesday denied a request to revoke the provisional release of a hardline Serb nationalist who was let out of prison on humanitarian grounds and has since re-entered politics at home.

Vojislav Seselj, 60, who has cancer, was released in November after almost 12 years in detention. He has been ordered to return to The Hague when needed for his case and may not contact witnesses.
