Juric Pleads Not Guilty

Juric, a former member of the 102nd Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council, is charged with the rape and sexual abuse of a Serb civilian in a house in the village of Posavska Mahala, in the municipality of Odzak, which took place on the night of June 4 or 5, 1992.

The prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina also charges Juric with having intercepted and mistreated two Serb women in July 1992. The women, who were accompanied with their children, were going to a school building in Odzak to visit their husbands who were detained there. Juric allegedly acted in collaboration with other soldiers.

The court of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed the indictment on February 16. The trial will begin in the upcoming period.
