On 5 October, after her husband returned from the hospital, the witness and her husband were at home. At one moment Sreten went to the stable to feed the cows, when the witness heard shots and her son yelling "Dad fell". Then she saw her husband lying motionless five meters away from the house on the way to the stable.

Fifty meters away she saw Hasanovic with a rifle, cursing her Chetnik mother, ordering her to get out of her house where she hid with her son. Soon after that, a flammable device was thrown into the house causing fire, and the witness and her son started suffocating. Her son jumped out of the window, and the witness heard shots and saw the perpetrators running after her son. She then ran to the opposite direction to a nearby forest.

Two days later, on 7 October, the bodies of those who were killed in Divovici were given to Serbs. The witness saw the body of her son Svetozar, with the right eye plucked out, the right arm broken, a wound on the right side of his chest, and a number of holes on his shirt, probably as a result of stabbing.

PLACE AND TIME: Ferhatlije, near Pazarici, 8 September 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Around 9 p.m. five persons entered the house in which the witness was accommodated, four of whom were in camouflage uniforms, and one in civilian clothing.

They grabbed the witness by the hair and dragged her into the garden, where two of them started slapping her face and pinching her, requesting gold and money. As she had nothing to give to them, they ordered her to strip naked, which she refused. One of them put a knife under her throat, while another one took off her clothes.

After that, one of them unbuttoned his trousers, sat on the bench, pulled the witness's hair, made her kneel and put his sexual organ into her mouth, holding her hair until he satisfied himself.

After that he stood up, and another one ordered her to lie on the bench. When she refused, they pushed her down, and the mentioned person forced her into sexual intercourse two or three times. Then the other three joined them, stood in a circle and threw the witness from one to another, until she fainted. When she fell on the ground, they dressed her in a robe put a cigarette in her mouth and insulted her in various ways. They threatened to kill her and her children if she told anyone.

Around 11 p.m. they brought her into the house. She was so exhausted that two of them led her by the arm. She fainted when she entered the house.

Since the witness missed her period, she went to see a Moslem doctor and told him what had happened. Dr. Ibizovic told her that he was sorry for what had happened because of the pride of the Moslem people, but that she had deserved it, since her husband was a Chetnik who was killing the Moslem people, carrying heads of Moslem children. He gave her two injections and probably, according to the witness, he either induced an abortion or resolved a disorder which she might have had as a result of fear, after which she regained her period and freed herself from enormous mental pressure.

One of them, whose name was Sajo, as she later learned, told her and other Serbs who went for water, that an exchange with Serbs was to take place and asked them if they wanted to be exchanged. First they asked for money for that service, and later agreed to take the witness for exchange without money.

Thus, six Serbs went with them towards Rastani, and at a place called Centar 2 in Mostar stopped the van in front of a one-storey house with a big garden and a garage. They brought them to the house, separated the witness from the others, took her to an isolated room where Sajo started hitting her, and after that another one, whose name was Mirsa, as she later learned, forcibly stripped her and pushed her to the ground. Since she yelled, they shut her mouth with their hands and held her, and when they pacified her, Sajo and two other Moslems had a sexual intercourse with her.

During all that they insulted her as a Serb. Some of them repeated the intercourse, which all lasted for about two hours.

As a result of that, she later learned that she was pregnant.

Life was difficult for Serbs. They were constantly exposed to various forms of abuse, especially by Moslem refugees who threw stones at Serb houses, demolished them, and often plundered them. Moslem military police searched the witness's house twice.

The first time they searched his house they took all food he had, as well as medicines and other valuables. The second time, a police patrol consisting of Hajrus and Safet from Voljevica, searched his house and then came back the same day and took away his clothes, his wife's underwear, stockings, hygienic necessities. The two men continued visiting the witness another 6 evenings. They forced their entry every time by breaking the gate.

The witness complained to the military police and commander Krdzic told him that he would "take necessary measures".

The witness knew about the killing and maltreatment of other Serbs which is why he was afraid to leave his house during the day, so he went out only in the evening, while his wife had to wear long dresses like Moslem women to hide that she was a Serb.

The witness finally left Srebrenica assisted by the Red Cross because he fell ill and required a surgery.

In Srebrenica he left behind his real estate, a two- storey house (11x8m), a yard and an orchard.

Members of the two units threatened Serbs. They said that all Serbs from Sijekovac would be killed and that there was no chance for them to live together with Croats and Moslems.

Around 10 March they posted barricades and guards at the entrance of the street where Serbs lived.

They forbade the Serbs to leave that street. Serbs could not even go to the neighbouring streets to buy bread.

They even prevented Serbs from going to work. All that created fear among the Serb population.

Members of the Croat army dug trenches, placed machine guns and mortars with barrels directed towards the Serbian part of the village.

The fear grew from day to day since Moslem and Croat soldiers constantly arrested Serbs. All that was an introduction to the forthcoming events.

On 26 March the Serb part of the village was attacked and a number of Serbs were killed.

After the attack the remaining inhabitants, mostly women and children were taken to the crisis headquarters building.

They made them stay there, in front of the tunnel until the evening, after which they locked them up in an cooperative house where they lived in terrible conditions for over 100 days.

They were interrogated and beaten all the time. One Moslem soldier by the name of Gegic beat the witness with a rifle butt and stamped her with his boots until she fainted.

PLACE AND TIME: Tarcin, a camp situated in a silo, 4 June 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: On 20 May the witnesses, reserve JNA members, were arrested in a barracks and took to Tarcin to a cereal silo turned into a camp for Serbs.

They were the first prisoners. They were accommodated in cell number 1 which was full of wheat that the two of them had to clean. After that many more Serbs were brought to the camp, and in the end there were about 100-110 of them.

On 4 June the prisoners were beaten. Around 10:30 a.m. Hujic, the commander of the camp, ordered the prisoners in cell 1 to be ready for a check-up "because a commission was coming". He also ordered that the cell door should be open. Soon after that about 15 Moslem soldiers came to the cell and started beating the prisoners all over their bodies with laths and rifle butts. The first witness was all bloodstained; he received about 50 blows in the area of the right kidney that has not functioned since.

After that event, the witness was immobile for two months. They took him in a blanket to the commander's office where Cedo Domuz, who had arrested him, could hardly recognize him. He received no medical assistance then, but only later when it was obvious that he was going to die.

Eight soldiers with rifles and nightsticks came to the cell of the witness under number 412/94-12 and started beating the prisoners. The witness was severely beaten on that occasion. It all lasted for half an hour. Screams could be heard from other cells as well.

Twelve soldiers with nightsticks entered cell number 8 in which the witness under number 412/94-14 was, and started beating all the prisoners. One of the soldiers took the witness by the head and threw him against the wall, as a result of which the witness's nose was broken and an eye injured (the consequences were obvious even at the hearing before an investigative judge), and then continued beating him with legs, rifle butts and all other objects at hand. It lasted for 15 minutes.

In cell 7 in which the witness under number 412/94- 13 was, they made K. to spill over himself urine from a can in which the prisoners urinated. The witness states that Moslem soldiers called their leader "Mineralni".

The beating lasted for three hours in the entire camp. After that, soldiers returned to the plateau, and the commander ordered the prisoners to hand over their gold, watches, bracelets, rings and all other valuables that they had on them, which the soldiers who beat them had confiscated.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME: Inhumane treatment of arrested persons - POWs.

PLACE AND TIME: A camp situated in the atomic shelter of the "Igman" hotel on Igman, February-August 1993.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The witnesses were transferred from the camp in Krupa near Pazarici to a prison situated in the atomic shelter of the "Igman" hotel on Igman, together with twenty other Serb prisoners.

Moslems forced the arrested Serbs to dig trenches and other military facilities. They had to do it while beaten and maltreated by guards. Guards kept them in the dug trenches and beat them with rifle butts and shovels, and threatened them with knives.

In the evening, after work, Serbs were beaten every night, usually one by one.

The first witness saw Moslems taking out Jadranko Glavas, a Serb from Tarcin, one day around 10 p.m. in February 1993. They put handcuffs on his hands and took him to a prison in the "Mraziste" hotel, where he was beaten to death.

Moslems especially beat V. and cut half of his right ear with a knife. The witness extended first aid to the victim, whose palms were burnt on a red-hot furnace, his face, body and hands were burnt with cigarettes, his back and his sexual organ were burnt with a red-hot rod. One Moslem told other prisoners that V. received at least 500 blows on his kidneys. Moslems were surprised that he had not died as a result of such a torture.

One day after work, Hodzic, accompanied by two soldiers and one girl entered the room in which prisoners were accommodated, and ordered twenty Serbs to stand against the wall. Then they started beating them with fists and kicked them. They broke off a table leg, with which they beat the prisoners. The second witness received many blows on his back and his kidneys. They continued this practice every day and made prisoners to pray by bowing like Moslems do.

After beating them, Moslems forced them to fight among themselves and perform sexual perversions. The first witness was forced to perform sexual perversions with V.

On one occasion the first witness was forced to put an awl into G.'s anus and then to take it out for R. to lick it.

They made R. eat a soap and then drink urine, which he had to do.

Moslems also made arrested Serbs eat cigarette butts, put out their cigarettes on their necks, hands, and other parts of their bodies, and sometimes they even threw lit cigarettes into their clothes.

On one occasion a Moslem beat the first witness with a metal rod and the rifle butt, and hit him at least 50 times on his leg and kidneys, after which the witness could not move for ten days and urinated blood.

Prisoners received lunch packages. They made them drink hot spices before lunch and deprived them of water.

The witnesses were returned from Igman to the camp in Tarcin on 1 August. For a while the first witness was spared hard labour because of his heavy injuries and a broken arm.

On 7 January 1993, on Orthodox Christmas, at around 2 a.m., guards Keca and Lihovac called the prisoners S. and M. from cells 1 and 2 to "wish them a merry Christmas", i.e. they beat them until the morning.

When they were returned to their cells the next morning, the witnesses could not recognize them. They were unable to walk, so that the witnesses had to carry them inside the cell. A witness was forced to wash the blood off the two beaten men.

They were beaten so badly that a few days later they were taken for medical treatment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: While the witness was imprisoned in the camp at Krupa, situated in the former JNA warehouse, prisoners were used to perform hard labour, cut timber, load and unload ammunition and food, as well as for other forms of physical labour. They were sent to cut timber barefoot without much clothes on. The witness had only his socks on whenever he was sent to cut timber, where he used to stay for four to five hours.

For pulling timber Moslems made belts from parachutes in the form of horse harnesses, so that Serbs had to pull timber like horses. They had to do this every day including week-ends and holidays. In the meantime guards would sit around, laugh and shoot.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Moslems arrested the witness and took him to a silo in Tarcin, which was turned into a camp for Serbs. He was locked up in cell 1 together with S., B., V., N., L., and P.

Immediately after his arrest a group of twenty Moslems from a Sandzak unit, led by Alispago, came to the camp. Alispago was accompanied by a Moslem woman, called Jasmina, from Sarajevo. Prisoners were ordered to stand up, take off their shoes and stand against the wall. One by one they were beaten with fists, feet, rifle butts, knife handles and other objects. The witness fainted as well as other prisoners. When he regained consciousness he was covered with blood, while another prisoner, Dane Bozic, had broken ribs and his head was bleeding.

Serb prisoners were beaten every day and threatened to be slaughtered since there would be no life for them in a Moslem state.

Prisoners were forced to pray by bowing like Moslems do.

In late July 1992, the witness was transferred to cell 7 where 40 Serbs were accommodated. They slept on bare concrete floor.

Prisoners from cell 7 were not allowed to go to the toilet so that they had to relieve themselves in the cell, which caused infections, which is why the prisoners were transferred to the camp at Krupa near Pazarici.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Together with about 150 Serbs the witness was transferred from the camp in the village of Polje to this camp.

They slept under eaves with no covers or carpets.

Immediately upon their arrival in the camp they were beaten with baseball bats, rifle butts and sticks. After such beating most of them were unable to move, and other prisoners had to carry them. They had a special way of torture and maltreatment: they would call a prisoner, and two HOS members would then kick him in the ribs from both sides, another two would hit him from the back in the kidneys, while the fifth one who stood in the front, would meet him with a baseball bat with a big "U" (Ustashi) sign engraved on it, which the prisoner had to kiss, after which the fifth person would hit him with that bat.

The witness underwent this treatment twice.

On 5 July, Milas demanded five Serbs to volunteer to be shot. Since no one volunteered, he read out 5 names including the name of the witness. When the five men went out, they were first beaten by Hamzic. After beating them heavily, one of them jumped on the witness's back while he was lying on the floor.

Then they took them across the Sava river to Slavonski Brod in Croatia's territory, put them against the wall of a house, ordered them to lift their arms and told them that they would be shot. Then a soldier approached the witness, put a gun on his temple and pulled the trigger, but only a clicking sound could be heard because the barrel was empty.

After that the five of them were taken to the village of Dragalic, near Okucani, where they were exchanged, and until that time they really thought that they would be shot.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: After the arrest, the witness, a pensioner, was taken to the Moslem Army Command, to a commander who asked him where he had been captured, how many Serb soldiers there were, who was their commander and similar, and when the witness replied that he did not know, the commander offered him coffee, and when the witness said that he did not drink coffee, the commander said: "This time you will" and handed him coffee. In addition he gave him 2 dl of cognac and ordered him to drink both coffee and cognac. He said to the witness that he had not answered his questions, then gave a sign to the present soldiers who grabbed him and took him to another room (3 x 4 m).

There was nothing in this room except from several boards placed on the floor. There were nails pierced through the boards over their entire surface, 2-2.5 cm high and slightly bent to the side.

Three soldiers took him to the room and made him stand by those boards. They started beating him all over his body with nightsticks. They especially beat him on the head and shoulders.

At one moment the blows made him fall on the boards and the nails pierced his body; when he got up pieces of his tissue remained on the nails.

They continued beating him until he fainted and then spilled water over him.

When he regained consciousness another two Moslem soldier came and continued beating him with nightsticks until he fainted again.

They spilled water over him again, and then a third group came in and inflicted the heaviest injuries on him. He was all bloodstained and swollen. The third group mainly hit him in the legs and thighs, saying that as a Chetnik he should see how the Ustashi beat; namely, in their mutual conversation they called each other "Ustashi".

The witness could not say how long those three groups beat him. He remembered that they had cursed his Serbian and Chetnik mother saying that they would slaughter him.

They mainly beat him at night, and during the day the witness was taken for interrogation.

The witness was placed a solitary confinement. On the third day he was taken out followed by 4 Moslem soldiers some 150 meters away, by some lime trees, where the Moslem soldiers said, cursing his Chetnik mother: " Chetnik, choose the tree on which you will be hanged".

Then they told him that he was still new and that there was enough time for them to hang him.

They took him to the Drinjaca river, pushed his head into the water, and after a while when he started choking they pulled it out. The did this several time and returned him to the Command building and placed him again in the solitary confinement.

They used a welding torch to burn the witness's feet and back. They also pushed needles beneath his nails. Because of that in early 1993, at the order of UNPROFOR, he was transferred to a hospital where he was treated two and a half months after representatives of ICRC had registered him.

Altogether, the witness spent a month in solitary confinement where three groups of Moslem soldiers beat him every night.

During his confinement, the witness dropped from 75 to 35 kilos.

They were taken to a cell where there were no other prisoners, and a group of masked persons, among whom were women, all of them Moslems, was enabled to enter the cell, take out the mentioned persons and do with them whatever they wished.

They took out B., C. and P. from the cell and beat them unconscious, then took them to Pazaric to the police station and kept them there for 5 days. They were returned to the camp, and after five days of recuperation, they were placed again in their original cells.

PLACE AND TIME: Srebrenica, the prison in the police building, September-October 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The witness was arrested in his house in the village of Podravanje in an attack of the Moslem army and taken to a prison in Srebrenica.

He was placed in a cell (2 x 2.5m) in which there were no beds or covers. In fact, there was no furniture in the cell. They could not lie down, because there were six of them in the cell, and guards kept spilling water on the floor, so that they stood or crouched all the time.

The witness and other Serbs were beaten every day. The witness was beaten with boots, as a result of which his ribs were broken. This was done by Koljevic whose boots, as it occurred to the witness, were specially intended for beating, since they were strengthened with pointed boot legs, and the witness often lost consciousness after beating.

The beating usually started at 10 p.m., and ended at 4 a.m.

The witness was also beaten with electric cables, cords, metal pipes. He particularly had a difficult time when they burnt his hands with cigarettes made of walnut leaves.

On one occasion Koljevic ordered him to strip naked, and burnt his penis with a cigarette. The witness lost consciousness.

Seven of his teeth were knocked out - five in the upper and two in the lower jaw. Apart from Koljevic, he was also beaten by the guards Kemo, Beli and Dule.

Guards often clogged the toilet, so that the witness and other prisoners had to put their hand in the opening.

Several times they brought women and children from the town to the cell in which the witness was, and they spat on them and insulted them.

They were not allowed to take a bath or to wash their faces ever, and when they asked to go to the toilet, it depended on guards whether they would go or not. If they let them go, they had to go out together, and they were beaten by guards in the corridor. This is why they had to avoid going to the toilet.

They usually received food twice a day - leftovers from what guards ate. Occasionally they received tea with no sugar and a piece of bread of the size of a cigarette package.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME: Inhumane treatment of arrested persons - POWs.

PLACE AND TIME: Tuzla, the camp in the Mining Institute, 31 September-10 October 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The witness's flat was searched several times for arms, which he did not possess. On 31 September four uniformed members of the B-H army searched his flat again and then took him to the museum of the Mining Institute, which was turned into the detention centre for Serbs.

They demanded him to state the names of Chetniks and members of the Serb Democratic Party (SDS) from Tuzla, and when he told them that he did not know, they started beating him. First they hit him with a belt on his head, neck and all over his body, and then they kicked him with their boots on his testicles and other parts of his body.

Later on, a person called Prcic came in and said to the witness: "See what my boys can do to those who refuse to confess". Then he said that he knew that the witness was neither a Chetnik nor a member of the SDS, but that he expected him to state the names of Chetniks and members of the SDS. Prcic gave him ten minutes to write those names on a piece of paper, however, since the witness failed to do so, Prcic ordered the guards to go on beating him. That is when they put a bomb in his mouth and kept it there for ten minutes. When the witness wanted to activate the bomb by biting the safety off, they noticed it, grabbed the bomb from his mouth and damaged one of his teeth, as noted by an investigative judge. Then they cocked a "scorpion" and put it in his mouth while Prcic kept his finger on the trigger, threatening to shoot him if he refused to confess. Four hours later Prcic left the room and ordered his subordinates to finish with the witness, i.e. to make him confess.

They started beating him again for another hour, and then told him that they would take him to a minefield near Tuzla where they would make him walk across the field and then explain that he died while trying to escape.

Then they gave him ten minutes to decide whether he would confess and when he refused to write the names of alleged Chetniks, they continued torturing him, beating him with ropes with lead endings. They put a gun barrel in his mouth, cocked the gun and held a finger on the trigger.

About 2 a.m. they brought two other Serbs whom the witness knew and made them fight. When they thought that they were not hitting each other hard enough they started beating them. The witness stated that they had had to hit one another more than 200 times.

After that, they tied the witness to a chair with his hands tied behind his back, as a result of which his arms turned blue and became very painful. They continued beating him .PA

with a rope with lead endings and a belt, saying that no one who refused to confess survived.

Early in the morning they stopped torturing the witness and ordered him and another two arrested Serbs to wash the hall and the toilet. Then they made him lie face down and started kicking him with their boots.

When a Moslem who was walking down the hall jumped over the witness lying on the floor they told him that there was no way to walk by a Chetnik, so he came back and stepped on the witness's pelvis.

Then they continued beating him throughout the morning until 4 p.m, when another five members of the military police came and beat him again.

After 20 hours of constant beating, the witness was transferred to another prison - in the "Husinjska buna" barracks.

When the second witness was taken into that room, they asked him where he had got his arms, and before he had a chance to answer, they started beating him with their feet and fists and ordered him to bend and kiss "the Bosnian soil". When he bent he felt a strong pain in his back.

Then they ordered him to bend down again, the pain got even worse, and he smelt a burning scent, realizing that his back had been burnt. He fainted. They spilt water on him and when he regained consciousness, he was ordered to stand up and was beaten again.

They were beaten every day by HOS members and it was especially difficult on 6 May when they cut the witness's throat threatening to slaughter him.

Prisoners received food for the first time after 5 days spent in the camp.

They tortured them in many ways, including by giving them two candles each which they had to hold lit, threatening to kill everyone whose candle went out. While holding the candles, prisoners were beaten.

The witness fell because he could not stand it any longer, and his candle went out. Then a HOS member took out a knife and when the witness thought that he was going to die, the HOS member changed his mind.

Immediately they firmly tied handcuffs on his hands so that his left arm paralyzed. They took him to the town hall, mercilessly beating him with a rifle butt on his neck and back, on their way to the town hall. After that they took him to the republican Ministry of the Interior where "Vikic's special units members" beat him hitting his head against the wall, so that he was covered with blood.

Then they searched him and found 2.400 DM on him which they confiscated.

From there they took him to the B-H territorial defense headquarters, where he was met by Vehbija Karic, the then JNA colonel, who ordered his soldiers to take off the handcuffs, and told him to wash his face and remove the traces of blood. They told him that he was going to be on TV, gave him a text that he was supposed to read in front of the cameras, after which he would be released. They said that if he refused to make that statement they would continue torturing him.

He had to say the following in front of the cameras:

- that JNA members opened fire first on "Vikic's special units",

- that JNA was arming the Chetniks,

- that snipers opened fire from the military hospital at civilians in Marin dvor,

- that JNA soldiers shot at the "UNIS" building, where the Moslem headquarters was,

- that there were 20 snipers in the military hospital.

That night the witness refused to obey that order. Again they threatened that if he did not obey he would be killed.

The rest of the night he spent on the staircase. He was all wet, without clothes and shoes and was very cold. They kept insisting that he had to repeat what he had been ordered to in front of the TV cameras and that they would continue torturing him if he failed to do so.

The witness tried in vein to point out that he was only a driver of the ambulance, that he had lived in Sarajevo for 40 years and that he was in no way related to the Chetniks.

On 3 May around 11 a.m. police officers took him to Colonel Karic to the third floor of the territorial defense building, and the witness had to repeat what he had been ordered to say in front of the TV cameras.

After the recording, they interrogated him again, provoked and insulted him, and after two hours they took him nearby the military hospital and threw him out of the car. He was received in the hospital for medical treatment.

First he was placed in the so-called "22" and then to "6 Hangar" (an amber). The camp authorities, guards, and people who were brought in from outside the camp beat the prisoners every night. During the day they often entered the amber and beat all prisoners. In the evening they took prisoners out one by one and tortured them an hour each.

The witness was beaten a number of times in the amber, while he was taken out in front of the amber twice in the evening and tortured. They beat him with wooden sticks, boots, as well as with various objects.

The witness especially remembers the mass beating that took place after the visit of an ICRC delegation.

In addition to beating, the authorities resorted to other forms of torture. For example, a person called "Landzo" took the witness out of the amber and spilt gasoline on his legs and put his right leg on fire. The witness sustained heavy burns and scars which were still visible at the hearing before an investigative judge.

Delic and Landzo took the witness twice out of the amber and made him eat grass like animals do.

On another occasion Delic and Landzo tortured him for three hours by putting a gas mask over his face, and preventing air inflow, as a result of which he started choking and fainted. While he was choking they beat him with their boots and other objects.

Food given to inmates was insufficient and on some days they received no food at all. Even water was rationed. There was no hygiene, and instead of toilets they had to relieve themselves in the amber where they slept.

In addition to all this, the camp authorities forced prisoners to sing Moslem songs for hours and memorize the Koran.

The beating lasted for 3-4 hours, whereby the members of HOS were relieved by others in the course of the beating.

Then came Coluka who also hit him on the hands and when he no longer could keep them straight he was ordered to put his hands on the table with his palms down. Then they beat him on the hands with a baton.

This caused a fracture of his left hand finger and his right hand wrist.

Thereafter he was ordered to take off his shoes and clothes to the waist and then they started hitting him on the head with a baton. Afterwards he was ordered to lie on the floor with face down and then they kicked him and hit him with their hands and batons all over his body. This particularly involved bastinadoing.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME:Inhuman treatment of detainees - POW's

PLACE AND TIME: Dubrovnik, mid-September 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The witness was taken prisoner on September 12 as a member of the Herzegovinian Corps of the Republic of Srpska Army by members of the Croatian Army ZNG. On the same day he was taken to the prison in Dubrovnik located in the basement of the "Ekscelzior" Hotel, to the ZNG Headquarters, were he was beaten.

After a seven-days' interrogation he was transferred to Split by truck.

Immediately upon departure from Dubrovnik, Mato handcuffed him on the back and ordered him to sit on the floor of the truck and spread his legs, hit him several time on the testicles and then stepped on them saying that he wants him "to lose his balls so that he would not be able to have intercourse with women." The witness suffered dreadful pain, fainted several times and was unaware of what was happening to him. He regained consciousness only upon arrival in the Split hospital.

This was how the witness lost his right testicle.

INDICATIONS CONCERNING PERPETRATOR:

1. Mato N., before the outbreak of war used to

be a truck driver and lived in Gruda near

Dubrovnik, aged 28-30, about 180 cm tall.

EVIDENCE: The medical records and minutes from the hearing of the witness before an investigative judge of the Belgrade District Court, filed with the Committee under No. 502/94, as well as expert opinions of Prof. Dr. D. Dunjic, a forensic specialist, Asst. Prof. Dr. B. Aleksandric, a forensic specialist and a head of department and Dr. J. Puric-Pejakovic, a neuropsychiatric specialist.

1. It may be concluded that the above injuries on the testicles were inflicted by a direct brandishing motion of a blunt-ended object (e.g. treading underfoot with army boots, kicking, etc.). Severe injuries which require a surgical removal of a testicle ("semicastration") cause extremely severe pain at the time of infliction which in its turn may provoke a neurogenic shock and a loss of consciousness. That is why such serious injuries of a testicle are considered as severe and life- threatening bodily harm.

2. The scars discovered on the witness's lower legs (described under item 3 of the findings) developed on the spots where injuries had been inflicted and judging by their appearance .pn2

and the anamnesis details it is possible that they have developed from the lacerations inflicted by a direct brandishing motion of a blunt-ended object (including treading on, kicking with a boot, hitting with a rifle butt or a truncheon, etc.).

3. The bone scars discovered on the witness's III, IV, V, VI and VII ribs along the right-hand line developed on the fracture points of the ribs, without dislocation. These fractures were caused by at least one direct brandishing motion of a broad blunt-ended object (such as kicking with a foot or a boot, hitting with a rifle butt, etc.) and these fractures in themselves represented a severe bodily harm at the time of their infliction.

4. The bone scars discovered on the witness's V and VI ribs along the right-hand line developed on the fracture points of the ribs, without dislocation. These fractures were caused by at least one direct brandishing motion of a blunt-ended object (such as fist, knee, foot, kicking with a boot, hitting with a rifle butt, etc.) and these fractures in themselves represented a minor bodily harm at the time of their infliction.

5. The bone scars discovered on the witness's VI and VII ribs along the left-hand line developed on the fracture points of the ribs, with a considerable dislocation. These fractures were caused by at least one direct brandishing motion of a broad blunt- ended object (such as fist, knee, foot, kicking with a boot, hitting with a rifle butt, etc.) and these fractures in themselves represented a severe bodily harm at the time of their infliction.

6. As a consequence of traumatic experiences during detention, a post-traumatic stress disturbance has developed accompanied with feelings of anxiety and depression and suicidal thoughts. The medical team strongly advised that he be committed for psychiatric treatment.

Once a TV crew was brought and the witness was requested to give a statement confirming that the accommodation was good and since the witness did not want to give any statement at all, the camp commander resented it and that same night a guard took him for an alleged medical examination because he had been beaten during lunch-time.

He was handcuffed and blindfolded in the corridor, beaten along the way and then driven in a jeep to a a meadow where they staged a shooting by discussing among themselves whether he should be shot in the back or in the face. After that they reloaded their guns and a shot was heard. Then they talked about whether they should throw him into the Sava.

He was beaten on way back to the camp, put into another room and the following morning was in such pain that he could not get up.

The International Red Cross team came the same morning. In order to prevent them from seeing him, he was taken to a hangar and returned only after the Red Cross team had finished their rounds.

PLACE AND TIME: The camp in Celebici, a former JNA warehouse near Konjic, May 28 - December 11, 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: During an attack of the joint Moslem-Croatian armed forces on the village of Bradina, the witness and another 11 villagers tried to break out from the encirclement towards the mountain of Bjelasnica, but were ambushed by the above mentioned forces and taken prisoners on May 28, 1992. Since that time until their detention in the camp in Celebici, and during the whole time he spent in the camp - till December 11, 1992, the witness and the rest of the detainees were exposed to abominable torturing, beating, mistreatment, starvation and humiliation which a number of prisoners did not survive.

At the time of arrest, the members of the Moslem- Croatian forces robbed them of all the valuables they had on them and then frantically beat them with batons, butts, hands, feet and feigned the execution by firing squad all along the way to the camp. The outcome of the beating was that the witness's nose-bone and two left ribs were broken and he saw that Dj. was being stabbed in the neck with a knife so that he hardly managed to survive.

Upon arrival in the camp in Celebici, they first had to go between two rows of guards who were striking them with iron bars and pipes, truncheons, sticks and other objects, whereafter they were put into a tin hangar No. 6. The guards continued to beat them daily inflicting serious injuries on them, to burn parts of their bodies, to sexually abuse them, to commit murders with weapons or physical punishment, to put a red-hot knife into their mouths and ears, etc.

Although the witness was far from being recovered, he was not spared the beating.

The detained Serbs were constantly threatened that they would be killed. It was the worst if anyone attempted to escape because in such cases all the inmates would be physically punished, regardless of whether they were involved in the attempted break-out or not.

The food at the camp was extremely bad and consisted of one meal only - a tiny slice of bread and a few spoonfuls of cooked food. Before the food was distributed the Croatian policemen would force the inmates to fight among themselves, and only then could they get their meals.

Because of the wounds he was transferred after the capturing to the hospital in Zenica where an operation was performed on May 12. This kind of operation requires a lengthy hospital treatment and full medical therapy and care. Although doctor's orders were that he be given blood plasma, the hospital staff did not dare do that. He was tied to the bed with handcuffs and on the following day, May 13, the police took him from the hospital and transferred him to the KPD Zenica.

The gravity of his wound may be confirmed by that fact that the cast was taken off his arm only after five months and the swelling and terrible pains still persisted.

Upon arrival in the KPD he was immediately put into a solitary cell where he spent full 7 months, until December 8, 1992 when he was transferred to a community cell.

After he had been in the KPD for two weeks he received a decision on detention as of May 24 instead of May 13 which is the date when he was brought to the KPD, or of May 11 when he was arrested at the hospital because he was handcuffed and under the surveillance of guards.

Therefore, this could be classified as a severe bodily harm with lasting consequences.

2. On May 13, one day after the operation, he was transferred to the prison solitary cell and thus deprived of the necessary medical care. Physicians in charge of such injuries prescribe a special treatment of a considerable duration (at least two weeks). This treatment involves a perpetual medical supervision, first of all by a specialist, check-ups of the treated fracture, observing the arm and hand circulation, supervision of the proper positioning of the hand, gradual movements first of the fingers and then of the hand, inspection of the surgical wound and the treated shoot-through wounds, administering of special drugs, first of all antibiotics, analgetics, etc. and particularly undertaking the measures to the effect of treating the elbow nerve.

They were ordered to address him as "Mr. Ustasha".

Ill-treatment was identical to that experienced by the witness in other camps at which he had been detained.

Camp inmates were made to stand with their hands behind their neck for as long as 2, 3 or 4 hours. Sometimes they were forced to kneel down and lower their heads to the ground. This lasted for hours.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The Serb residents of the villages Donja Dubica, Trnjak and Novi Grad fled to Novi Grad after they had earlier on experienced daily armed attacks launched by Croats and Muslims who had encircled them. Negotiations were conducted in order to secure the exit from Novi Grad for those Serb residents who wished to go to Bosanski Samac.

On May 9, the Croats and the Muslims promised that they would enable the passage of the Serbs to Bosanski Samac provided the Serbs handed over their weapons. The Serbs accepted their pledge and handed over their weapons.

However, when they got out of Novi Grad they were surrounded by the Muslim and the Croat Army and taken to the elementary school at Odzak which had been transformed into a camp for Serbs. They took away all their possessions including even their personal effects.

Thus a camp was established at which some 600 men, women, children and elderly people were accommodated.

The taking of the Novi Grad Serbs to Odzak (along a 10 km long route) took 10 hours; the Serbs were subjected to harrassment and ill-treatment on their way to Odzak and some of them were beaten as well.

On August 15, her neighbor Seid Mehmedic brought Blackshirts from Jablanica to her house, and arrogantly forced her and her family out. When entering the house, Zlatko, one of the Blackshirts, held a whip in his hand, resembling a leather-stick, to which leather knotted belts were fastened. He took out a knife and started threatening and telling them that what he loved best was cutting throats of little children in front of their mother's eyes. He had a liter of vinjak (alcohol) with him.

When the witness asked for protection and the Moslem police patrol, consisting of Fadil Isic and Nevzet Kazazovic, policemen from the police station of Pazaric arrived, they suggested that she should leave the house and move somewhere else. The witness and her family moved to their neighbor's house the same evening.

On September 8, at 21.00 hrs., four persons in uniforms and one in civilian clothes burst in that house. They beat the owner's wife, and took a gold ring from another woman that was with them in the house. They asked for gold and money, threatening that they were going to slaughter everybody.

Throughout that period, Mehmedic kept coming and threatening that he was going to kill them all. On one occasion, he encouraged women, children and the elderly to trough stones at the witness, calling her "chetnik-woman". Some passers-by saved her from that.

After that incident, Mehmedic and his son Fikret burned down the witness's house.

The witness escaped to another house, with her children. The Blackshirts from Jablanica continued to come to that house, too. One, named Ismet, threatened that he was going to kill her and her children.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME: Ethnic cleansing

PLACE AND TIME: Bradina and Celebici near Konjic, April 20 - September 7, 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The witness, M., lived and worked in Konjic until April 20, 1992, when the headmaster of the school where she worked told her not to come to work any more because she was a Serb.

That day, her husband told her that the hotel near their house was full of soldiers of Croatian Defense Forces (HOS) and that they had to flee, after which they left for Bradina, where her husband's family lived.

However, Moslems and Croats had placed barricades on the roads to Bradina and mined the tunnel on the main road to Konjic, making it impossible to get out of the village.

Strong Moslem-Croat forces attacked Bradina on 25 May. The witness and her family hid near the village. The next day, she saw houses in Bradina burning and mortar shells falling. The witness and her family remained hidden until May 29, when they returned to the village.

Near the Bradina primary school, Croats and Moslems stopped them and led them into a classroom where a large number of Bradina villagers were also detained.

Witness M. and three other women were then taken to a detention camp in Celebici. They were lined-up, their personal data were written down, and they were taken to a small room in the registration house. The witness was subjected to interrogation several times, during which various threats were made against her.

Witness M. was told by a Serb woman that she had been raped before the witness was brought to the detention camp.

At first, the food was not bad, but later the food was scarce and the witness lost a lot of weight.

She saw that men were kept lined up for hours with their heads turned towards the wall, during which time they were harassed. At night, she heard them being beaten and groaning with pain.

On June 16, the witness was released from the detention camp. She was handed down a decision according to which the reason for her detention was cooperation with aggressors and her movement was restricted to the village of Bradina.

The Moslems and Croats gathered the remaining Serbs from Bradina on July 12 and placed them in the school. They shot at the school for two nights, breaking the windows and showering the walls. The first night, they burst into the classroom and started beating the people near them.

They forced the children to fight with each others, and a Moslem said that they should all be put on fire.

Later on, men and women were taken out to be beaten. Milan Kuljanin was beaten up so hard that he died in Konjic 3-4 days after having been released.

Disabled G., who had only one leg, was also harassed.

While witness M. was once holding her one-and-half years old grand-daughter, "Kravar" ("Cowboy) hit her on her neck with a stick. He hit so hard that she dropped the child.

Witness M. was released, with her children, the fourth day. She left for Konjic, because her house in Bradina had been burnt down. Some people had moved into her apartment in Konjic, so she went to her relatives'. She stayed there until September 7, 1992, when a Croat, whom she paid DM 350, helped her move to the Serb-controlled territory.

When the Croats and Moslem burst into the village, they searched the houses but found nobody. They started searching the woods and caught Slobodan Babic (the witness's husband), Novica Ivkovic, Boro Ivkovic and Mirko Babic.

These four men were beaten and forced to call the others to come back to the village, under threats that, if they refused, they would all be killed. When the villagers returned, 17 women, children and elderly men were placed in the witness's house and the Moslems and Croats beat the four men before their eyes.

The next day, they were taken to Konjic on foot, down the road where there was fighting. The Serbs were put in front, as a live shield, and the others walked behind them.

When they left the village, the witness was released, to return home and take care of her immobile mother-in- law, whom they were not able to take along. The witness learnt that the others were taken to the detention camp in the Musala Sports Center, and were released five days later.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME: Ethnic cleansing

PLACE AND TIME: Sarajevo, 1986 - June 28, 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The witness worked in "GRAS", Sarajevo, as manager of Common Services Department. In 1986, systematic persecution of Serbs started, especially those on managerial posts. At first it was done through (communist) party organizations. At that time, the witness was often visited by inspectors from various inspectorates or from the Secretariat of the Interior. Finally, a "referendum of confidence" was organized. Whether the witness and four other Serbs can occupy managerial posts was put to vote. The witness was thus replaced, since Moslems were a majority.

After the Party of Democratic Action came to power, provocations were intensified, and after the war conflict broke out, Serbs started to be taken to the police and arrested. Moslems spread strong propaganda in order to intimidate Serbs. A large number of Serb families fled Sarajevo.

The witness stated that when a mortar shell once fell near his house, the news was spread that he had been the "Chetnik" who had told the Serbs which building to target. Two Moslems were permanently on guard in front of the building where the witness lived. Resid Karajica was one of them. Before the said shell fell, the two moved away to a safe distance, and after it fell, they joined the others in rendering help. The witness believes that shelling of Serb-owned houses was used to exert pressure on the Serbs to leave Sarajevo.

The witness once saw his neighbor Seid Karajica, son of Resid, carrying a sniper and leaving the house for the combat position.

Serbs were arrested in groups, taken to the Kosevo stadium to be tortured and molested. Rumor had it that carcasses floated on the Miljacka river.

The witness was invited several times to join the Moslem army, which he refused.

On June 24, 1992, when the witness was in front of his building, three men came, two in camouflage uniforms and one in civilian clothes and asked him to come with them to the "Viktor Bubanj" army post for interrogation. He was allowed to take his identification card and glasses. He was placed in a vehicle. He saw that he was not being taken to the army barracks but across the Miljacka river to a skyscraper near kindergarten in the Otoka community.

He was taken to a room where he was searched and everything that he had in his pockets was taken. He was given some paper and was told to write a statement. They opened a door and pushed him down the stairs leading to the cellar, hitting him with rifle-butt and leg in his back so hard that the witness fell down.

He fell in a room with one candle lit, with no windows, with concrete floor and a gully-hole in it. The witness saw Mica Crnogorac and Radovan Skoko, his colleagues from "GRAS" in that room, and a 16-year old boy and an elderly man from Nevesinje.

Soon after, "Zuti" (The Yellow), who took part in his detention, and two other men, entered the room. One of them was a 20-year old Gypsy. They lined-up everyone except the witness along the wall and started beating them with baseball sticks. Those who fell were forced to get up, for the beating to continue. Ten minutes later, the three of them left. The witness was taken out and interrogated, brought back to the cellar and ordered to write a statement. They kept taking the papers from him and giving him new ones.

Soon after, three other men came in, lined everyone up against the wall and beat them again. The witness was beaten up this time.

The beating continued day and night, with only short breaks. People who beat them changed. During the beating, they laughed and told insults.

The second day, the Gypsy entered the cellar and offered them bread. The others hesitated, but the witness, who was hungry since he had not been given any food or water, approached him and broke off a piece of bread. Then the Gypsy yelled obscenities and started beating him with hands and legs and stepping on him. He injured the witness's left ankle so that the witness was not able to walk for some time.

The third day after the witness arrived in the cellar, it was raining and feces flooded in. The Gypsy entered the cellar and forced the witness and Mica Crnogorac to crawl through the feces, and a friend of his shot in-between them with the gun, and beat Tomo Mocevic, who had been brought in in the meantime, almost paralyzed. The clothes soaked with feces dried on them.

The boy was the first to be taken away from the cellar, then the elderly man from Nevesinje and Radovan Skoko. The other three, and the witness, were taken to the building of the Privredna Banka branch offices in Jovana Cvijica Street. They were placed in an empty room bearing the sign "detention".

In the evening, a girl was brought in, and the next day, another woman and some men. They were all Serbs. One was brought in because he was a player of the gusle (popular instrument). People were often taken out and brought back in.

A green beret soldier leaned the hunting rifle barrel on the witness's chest, threatening that he was going to kill him, using obscenities and insulting him, and then moved away and pulled the trigger, but the rifle was empty.

The witness was also intimidated by putting a knife under his throat, putting something in his ears, threatening they were going to cut off his ears. This was happening in Mile's office, in the presence of Sava. Two days later, on June 28, the witness was released, on condition that he reported to them every day.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME: Ethnic cleansing

PLACE AND TIME: Cazin, February - May, 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Since the witnesses heard did not take part in the referendum for independence of Bosnia-Herzegovina, a member of the Moslem Territorial Defense appeared on February 29 in front of the building where they lived, explaining that he had to protect them as Serbs.

The witnesses worked in the village school in Liskovac, near Cazin, where four other Serb-teachers were also employed. But, the village was mostly populated by Moslems and the school headmaster Mujanovic kept telling them that, because they were Serbs, they should be expelled across the Drina river.

At the beginning of May, 1992, the Serbs were handed a written order that they were forbidden to leave Liskovac.

At the end of May, 1992, all six teachers were fired from the Liskovac primary school with the explanation that were not fit to educate Moslem children and that they were chetnik supporters who approved genocide against the Moslem people.

The six Serbs went to Cazin to complain to the mayor, but the effort was futile. When they returned, the Moslems attacked them by throwing stones and shooting at their apartments from midnight to 02.00 a.m.

After this incident, they complained to the territorial defense staff, but when the police came to investigate, they started suspecting one of the witnesses of possessing a radio station.

The witness and his wife moved to a house of their Moslem friend, but other Moslems attacked this house accusing the Moslem who was protecting them of hiding the chetniks.

Then the witness applied for the exchange, which was approved in June 1992, and they left for Bihac.

However, the exchange never took place. They were taken from Bihac to Kamenica and placed in a building where they were being given food which was so tasteless that they could not eat it. They gave it to a dog and the dog's hair started to fall off.

The witness's hair also started to fall off after he had eaten this food, and Nedeljko Lucic, teacher who ate the food went completely bald. They concluded that the food was poisoned. It was only at the intervention of the Red Cross that the witnesses heard were finally exchanged on November 10, 1992, when they moved to the territory of the Republic of Srpska.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The witness was employed in a Zagreb firm and happened to be in Mostar on business when the war broke out. He was on his way back to Zagreb, where he lived, in the middle of April 1992, when Croatian policemen entered the bus in Duvno and asked whether there were Serbs in the bus.

When the witness answered, the police took him out of the bus and led him to the police station (SUP) in Tomislavgrad.

He was met by four policemen dressed in black shirts who started beating him right away and pressuring him to give a statement that he went to Mostar to work on the aircraft that bombed Zagreb. Since the witness refused, that connected his toes and fingers to a source of electricity, which they turned on, fixing clips on his ear, too. Electric shocks made him faint and his nose was bleeding.

They tortured him like this for four hours, until he lost consciousness. He came to in prison. One policeman held a riflebutt on his left temple and the other did the same on his right temple, and the two of them were deciding who was going to shoot.

Then they beat the witness using their legs and arms until one of their superiors came and asked: "Haven't you thrown the dog out through the window yet?", to which they replied that there was plenty of time.

After that, the witness was ordered to lie down on the floor, they opened the window, one took the witness by the hands and the other by the legs and brought him to the window. They were saying that they were going to through him out, but they finally threw him inside against the opposite wall, and he fainted.

He woke up in prison, in the school, where he was not given any food for four days. When he asked for some water, they offered him salty water.

Four days later, the witness and another Serb were taken to a village 20 km away from Duvno and put in a shed where there was a dead body of a man. They were told that they were going to end up the same.

They were kept in that shed for three days and three nights, during which time the witness was beaten all the time, was forced to put his penis in the mouth of the other Serb and vice versa, and they had to obey.

DESIGNATION OF CRIME: Ethnic cleansing

PLACE AND TIME: Zagreb, May-August, 1992.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The witness heard was subjected to investigation before the Military Court in Zagreb on charges of criminal offense of armed rebellion, because he allegedly joined paramilitary units of SAO Krajina during his stay with his brother.

At the time of the arrest in Zagreb, the witness was at work in the enterprise where he had worked for 20 years. He used to spend weekends and days off in the village with his brother, which was the reason for suspecting him of armed rebellion.

On August 19, 1992, a letter was sent by the investigating judge of the Military Court in Zagreb, Zoran Luburic, to the District Prison in Zagreb under No. Kio. 226/92, stating that Radovanovic's detention was extended by the decision of the Military Court chamber to no longer than August 19, 1992, and since, according to the regulations, detention during investigation is not to exceed three months, and considering that the three-month detention of the accused Radovanovic expired on August 19, 1992, the order was given to release him "on today's date".

Since the reasons for detention (that he was going to escape), as established by the Military Court, obviously did not cease to exist, and charges against him were not brought after three months of investigation, the conclusion is drawn that no evidence was established.

After leaving the prison, the witness applied and received the papers showing that Zagreb is his place of residence, and then legally left Croatia.

He learnt later that he was sentenced in absentia to 12 years of imprisonment. In his opinion, this was done in order to prevent him from returning to Croatia where he owns real estate.
