Case: Hodzic and Salcin Archives

The Bosnian state court decided to examine Nedzad Hodzics mental health again, in order to determine whether he is capable of following the trial proceedings. A mental health examination will be conducted by a team of experts led by court expert and neuropsychiatrist Omer Cemalovic.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina decided to separate the Nedzad Hodzic and Dzevad Salcin cases, until Hodzics ability to follow the trial is established.

Court expert and neuropsychiatrist Abdulah Kucukalic said that Nedzad Hodzic is incapable of following his trial due to a permanent mental illness.

At todays hearing of the ongoing Dzevad Salcin trial, defense witnesses offered their testimony on Salcins wartime activities and prewar reputation.

Nedzad Hodzic and Dzevad Salcin, both former members of the Zulfikar Unit of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, are currently on trial on charges that they tortured, assaulted and sexually abused Serb prisoners on Mount Igman in 1993.

As the trial for crimes on Mount Igman continues, the Defence of Nedzad Hodzic presents material evidence with which it wants to prove that the indictee was an ordinary soldier of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, BiH, and that he had no responsibility for prisoners on Mount Igman.

While being cross-examined at the trial for crimes on Igman, a military expert repeats that indictee Nedzad Hodzic was an ordinary soldier in 1993 and that he could not issue orders or make decisions concerning the taking of prisoners to Mount Igman.

A court expert and military analyst says, testifying at the trial for crimes on Mount Igman, that indictee Nedzad Hodzic was an ordinary soldier without any rank and without competence to issue orders to anyone.

A Defence witness says, testifying at the trial for crimes on Mount Igman, that indictee Nedzad Hodzic stayed in Jablanica from April to July 1993.

A defence witness told the trial of Nedzad Hodzic and Dzevad Salcin for crimes at Mt Igman that he saw prisoners on the mountain in 1993 - but never heard of them being abused.
