The State Court made a decision to issue Muderizovic with restrictive measures of a ban on leaving his place of residence, temporary seizure of passport, and a ban on meeting and contacting or getting in touch with certain people.

The statement issued by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina specifies that defendant Muderizovic was issued with a restraining order “within at least 100 metres of the co-defendant, witnesses named in the indictment, and other people who have any knowledge about this case.”

The restrictive measures, according to the court’s decisions, can last until necessary, and the justification control will be carried out every two months.

In case the defendant violates any of the restrictive measures, he can be remanded in custody.

Muderizovic is tried by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, together with Ramiz Avdovic and Iliuan-Nicolae Vintila, for crimes in the “Viktor Bubanj” army barracks in Sarajevo, where the imprisoned Serb civilians were exposed to deliberate bodily or emotional harm and forced to hard labour.

Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges them, as members of the joint criminal enterprise, with taking part in the establishment and maintenance of the abuse system of civilians of Serb ethnicity between late June and late September 1992.

Muderizovic was, as specified by the indictment, commander of the army prison in the “Viktor Bubanj” army barracks, Avdovic guard commander in all the facilities, and Vintila a cook and guard in the former barracks.

Muderizovic has been in custody since October 2011.

The trial has begun on March 22 this year.
