Maid Tahirovic and Miralem Muratovic said they worked for the information service of the Jablanica Brigade of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that in 1993 they talked with prisoners held in the Battle of Neretva Museum and war hospital.
 
They said they did not suggest to prisoners what to say, as well as that members of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina or policemen were not present during the interview.
 
“We were alone with them,” said Muratovic, who worked as a camera operator.
 
According to Tahirovic, who worked as a journalist, none of the wounded prisoners held in the war hospital complained about how they were treated.
 
As witnesses said, the reportage was aired on the Jablanica television.
 
Another witness for the defence, Alija Baksic, said he worked as a translator and producer for the Italian television station RAI.
 
He said that they were not told how to do their pieces, and that such a thing was out of the question in the first place. After shooting, the witness added, no one asked for the recording nor instructed them with anything.
 
Bojadzic, former deputy commander of the Zulfikar detachment with the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is charged with beating, sexual abuse and rape of Croat prisoners who were detained in the museum.
 
He is also charged with pulling out an IV line out of the prisoners vein in the war hospital, as well as preventing a doctor from assisting another prisoner.
 
The trial of Bojadzic, who is charged with other crimes committed in Jablanica as well, will resume on October 23.
