Custody Terminated for Suspects of Rogatica Rapes and Disappearances
The Bosnian state court terminated custody measures for Milisav Ikonic and Zoran Ilic and ordered prohibitive measures instead. Ikonic and Ilic, former soldiers of the Bosnian Serb Army, are suspected of having committed war crimes in the Rogatica area in 1992.

Under the new prohibitive measures, Ikonic and Ilic have been ordered into home detention. They’ve also been banned from traveling, communicating with each other, and contacting the prosecution witnesses.
Ikonic and Ilic were arrested with Dragan Lubarda on March 4. The prosecution didn’t request extended custody measures for Lubarda.
The suspects, all former members of the Rogaticka Brigade of the Bosnian Serb Army, are suspected of having raped Bosniak women in Rogatica in the summer of 1992.
The prosecution also suspects Ilic of having participated in the enforced disappearances of 17 men from Rudo, in the municipality of Rogatica.
