On May 12, 1992 Sead Kamarasevic, who lived in Dobrinja, was taken along with other men, after they had been separated from women and children, to Kula, where he spent the following night.
He said that, while he was in Kula, the indictee introduced to himself by his first and last name. However, he was not able to recognize him in the courtroom due to the passage of time.
“He behaved in a correct manner. He said that we had to be accommodated in the dormitory. Nobody was mistreated. I spent the night in the dormitory. Nobody confiscated anything from us. I wanted to hand over my portable radio, but Luka told me to keep it and listen to it,” witness Kamarasevic said.
He said that Luka told him on the following day that a friend of his had come and that he would come again to take him away at around 11.00, which is what happened.
Kamarasevic said that a good friend of his, who stayed in Kula with the others for 15 days after he had left, told him what happened in Kula.
“He told me that he participated in some working squad and that he was taken to Nedzarici neighbourhood. (…) He said that Senad Turbo was mistreated, that he was taken for examination and beaten up,” Kamarasevic said.
The indictment alleges that Majstorovic, as an investigator, treated a Bosniak civilian in Kula Penal and Correctional Facility in an inhumane manner and intentionally caused bodily pain and suffering of that civilian.
During the war Majstorovic was an operational officer with the Crime Service of the Public Safety Station in Novo Sarajevo.
Dobrislav Planojevic, former Assistant Minister for Crime Prevention with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, said that he knew Majstorovic before the war and that he used to work with police.
“I think he was involved in operational affairs. (…) Somebody told me that he worked in Kula,” Planojevic said.
The trial is due to continue on September 10.
