The unconfirmed indictment alleges that the victims were tortured and abused in an extremely humiliating manner, causing severe physical and mental injuries. It also said they were sexually abused and subjected to other inhumane acts.

“The crimes that were committed resulted in severe injuries to the victims. Two prisoners died due to the consequences of the abuse,” the indictment alleges.

The prosecution charged them with committing the crimes as commanders and members of the Territorial Defence force in Lukavac, the Bosnian Army’s military police, a Bosnian Army unit called Fiko’s Unit, and the Croatian Defence Council in nearby Modrac.

The indictment has been filed to the state court for confirmation.
