Defence attorney Milos Peric presented the witness with a statement she gave in the summer of 1995 before the Sarajevo court, when, as he claims, she only mentioned guard called Mica, who forced her into sexual intercourse, and that “she could not refuse his order”.
 
Peric has also presented a statement from December 1994 to the witness S-3, which she gave to the investigative judge in Sarajevo, when she said she was not familiar with anything about the rape.
 
She told Popovic’s trial that she was imprisoned in Uzamnica from June 1992 until October 1994, that she was taken out from the hangar for several times, sometimes alone, and sometimes with another woman and that they were forced to have sex with two men. She said that she was forced into sexual intercourse by guards called Mico and Goran.
 
“I know that Mico and Goran were sometimes together,” witness said.
 
Witness started her testimony on July 9, when she described Goran as a young man with the dark hair and pointed to the defendant Goran Popovic.
 
The Bosnian prosecution charges Popovic with participation in the abuse, beating and torture of prisoners while he was a guard at the Uzamnica detention camp, as well as the sexual abuse of men and women.
 
The trial continues on September 3.
