As said at the hearing, according to medical reports, the indictee was severely ill and it was uncertain when he might be capable of attending the trial.
Martic, a former member of the Croatian Defence Council, is charged with having escorted a group of captured members of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, from a school building in Perkovici to military positions in July 1993. Upon arrival, he allegedly abused them and hit them on various parts of their bodies with a rifle butt and shot at the two of them.
The Chamber scheduled the continuation of the trial for February 12.
