In the spring of 1992, the former fuel depot of the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) in the village Dretelj, near Capljina, was transformed into a detention camp. In the course of three years, around 3000 people were held in this depot in cruel and inhumane conditions. For their suffering only three persons have been convicted to a total of 18 years of imprisonment.
The guest of this month’s edition is Stephen Rapp, the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues.
In April, TV Justice interviewed people from Capljina about their opinion of war crimes trials held at the Court of BiH.
