The Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina has raised an indictment against Muhidin Basic and Mirsad Siljak, for war crimes in the area of Vares.

 According to the indictment, Basic and Sijak forced a female of Croatian ethnicity into sexual intercourse on January 25, 1994, in the premises of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ABiH) prison, which was located in the basement of the Sumarstvo building in Vares.

As it is stated, two other unidentified members of the ABiH also participated in the rape.
