Witness Zeljko Dujanic testified at Kameric’s trial in Sarajevo on Tuesday that while he was detained at the police station in Bosanski Brod in August 1992, he was ordered to make a false statement about the killing of a fellow prisoner who died after being beaten up by police.

“In the morning we reported the death and then took him out. Someone from the police ordered us to take him out,” he said.

He explained he was one of several prisoners chosen at random by police to make a statement, and that a woman called Indira Vrbanjac (the defendant’s maiden name) came into the room and told them: “That man died of natural causes, right?”

“I understand it to mean write as I was told,” said Dujanic, adding that he did so.

However he could not recognise the accused in court. He also said that she did not abuse him physically or mentally.

Kameric, a wartime member of the 101st Bosanski Brod Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council, is accused of participating in the physical and mental abuse of Serb and Bosniak civilians and prisoners of war who were unlawfully detained at the police station and the FK Polet football stadium in Bosanski Brod from April to October 1992.

She is also charged with having participated and assisted in the rape and sexual abuse of detainees.

The trial resumes on March 13.
