The Bosnian state prosecution said on Friday that it has charged ten former officers and soldiers of the Bosnian Army with committing a series of war crimes against Serb detainees in Hrasnica in the Ilidza municipality, on the outskirts of the capital Sarajevo, during the 1992-95 war.
“They are accused of crimes against approximately 100 Serb civilians, including women, elderly people and minors, who were unlawfully detained in camps and detention facilities in the Hrasnica area, as well as crimes against Serbian prisoners who were taken to perform forced labour in war zones, where they were subjected to injuries and wounds with fatal consequences or were killed by guards,” the prosecution said in a press release.
The indictees are Enes Zukanovic, Fikret Prevljak, Emir Redzovic, Vahid Aladjuz, Rasim Okeric, Mustafa Gegaj, Mujo Vatres, Vahid Muharemovic, Mirsad Tuzlak and Senahid Godinjak.
The victims came from the settlements of Hrasnica, Butmir and Sokolovic-Kolonija, the prosecution said.
In a separate development on Friday, the prosecution said it has filed an indictment charging Dragoljub Gligic, who is known as Gliga, with committing crimes against humanity in the Prijedor area in 1992.
The prosecution said that Gligic is being charged with committing the crimes in his capacity as a police squad commander at the Public Security Station in Prijedor.
“Together with other members of the army, police and the Ljubija Crisis Staff, he participated in the unlawful capture, torture and murder of around 120 male Bosniak civilians in the Miska Glava and Ljubija areas,” the prosecution said.
It also said that Gligic is charged with using torture and committing murders in the village of Brda and the city of Prijedor.
