As the trial of four former members of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, who are charged with crimes in Kiseljak, continues, a Travnik Cantonal Prosecution witness says that he was mistreated in Behrici village, Kiseljak municipality, in the summer of 1993.

At the beginning of the trial of four former members of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, for crimes in Kiseljak before the Cantonal Court in Novi Travnik witness Ramo Hatidzic says that he was captured and then mistreated, just like other members of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, ARBiH, on June 1, 1993.

Four ex-members of the Croatian Defence Council, whose arrests sparked a protest in Kiseljak, are accused of the torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners of war in 1993.

Dozens of Croats rallied in the central Bosnian town of Kiseljak in protest against the arrests of five former Croatian Defence Council fighters suspected of war crimes.

The Cantonal Court in Novi Travnik orders one-month custody for seven persons, who are suspected of crimes against prisoners of war in the Kiseljak area.
