Indictee Had Injuries for Four Months

Curkic determined that Lukic was injuried after having reviewed medical documents issued by the hospital and dispensary in Doboj.
 
“The injured person was incapable of working in the period from July 31 to December 1, 1992,” Curkic said.
 
Lukic, former guard in the District Prison in Doboj, is charged with having abused Saban Ibrakovic in the prison premises on several ovvassions in 1992 and 1993. He allegedly hit Ibrakovic with a thick electric cable, legs and hands, causing him to faint several times.
 
Defence witness Miroslav Vidic, former educator and Deputy Manager at the District Prison in Doboj, said that he knew the injured party, but “it is not known to me that anybody beat him up in the prison”.
 
Testifying in defence of the indictee, former prison guard Dusan Radojcic said that he heard about injured party Ibrakovic in the prison from “Vojin Markovic, who told me that he had beaten him up”.
 
Prison policeman Dragoslav Blagojevic said that he “neither saw nor heard that Vojin Lukic beat Ibrakovic.”
 
Witness Dragoslav Knezevic told the Court that he began working as a guard at the Doboj Prison on June 26, 1992 and that, a few days later Ibrakovic was beaten up in the prison by three members of the Red Berets Unit.
 
“They entered room no. 8, where at least 30 prisoners were held. Saban Ibrakovic was among them. He failed to respond, when they called out his name twice. After they called his name for the third time, he responded. Then they beat him with batons and legs,” Knezevic said, adding that he heard that Ibrakovic was beaten up immediately after having arrived to the prison as well.
 
The trial is due to continue on November 27.
