Trial chamber chair Zoran Bozic said the witness had previously been examined in a closed session, and would testify at today’s hearing under the same measures.

The state prosecution has charged Adil Vojic and Bekir Mesic, former members of the 501st Brigade of the Fifth Corps of the Bosnian Army, with having alternately raped a woman and forced another person to sexually abuse her on the night of May 1 or 2, 1994.

The trial is scheduled to continue on January 6, 2016.

Members of the public have filed complaints about this, while war survivors have been living in fear, but the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina has remained silent, as if a law regulating this issue doesn’t exist.
