Zelenika, former member of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO), is charged with abuse and torture of the prisoner identified only by his initials L.A., while prisoners from the ‘Heliodrom’ camp performed forced labour in Santiceva Street in Mostar in November 1993.
According to the indictment, Zelenika beat and severely abused L.A. He cut his throat with the knife, and forced him to stand at the loop hole in the bunker, exposing him to danger of being shot by the Bosnian Army.
Zelenika is charged with beating and kicking the victim’s father as well as hitting him with bottles all over his body, causing him multiple rib fractures.
The indictment has been forwarded to the Bosnian court for confirmation.
Zelenika is on trial in a separate case along with Srecko Herceg, Edib Buljubasic, Ivan Medic and Marina Grubisic-Fejzic for crimes in the Dretelj camp.
