The trial of Mario Frimel, who is charged with crimes in Hrasno neighbourhood, Sarajevo, has been postponed, because two Defence witnesses leave the courtroom after waiting for the Trial Chamber of the Sarajevo Cantonal Court to appear in the courtroom for 15 minutes.

The Defence witnesses left the courtroom right before the arrival of the Trial Chamber, chaired by judge Jasenko Ruzic.

“The main trial is postponed due to absence of the witnesses,” Ruzic said.

After having been told that the witnesses had been waiting in the courtroom and left, the judge tried to bring them back, but they had already gone.

The Sarajevo Cantonal Prosecution charges Mario Frimel, former Commander of “Ivan Krndelj” Squad of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ABiH, with having unlawfully arrested and physically and mentally abused Serbs in Hrasno neighbourhood, Sarajevo, at the beginning of October 1992.

The trial has been postponed until February 10, when five Defence witnesses will be examined.
