Case: Mejakic et al. Archives

In its sixth year of operation, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina Chamber for War Crimes sentenced 15 persons to a total of 156 years in prison, and acquitted seven, while the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina claims that they are also investigating one thousand suspects over war crimes offences.

Several hundred former detainees from Prijedor and their families have gathered in Omarska to commemorate August 6th, the day when the disassembly of this camp began 18 years ago.

The Defence teams of three indictees charged with crimes committed in Prijedor present first-instance verdict appeals.

Survivors of the notorious Serb-run detention centres in north-west Bosnia and their families are continuing their campaign for a memorial centre to record their suffering.

As proposed by the third indictee's Defence, the public was excluded from the testimony of the last witness at the trial for crimes in the Omarska and Keraterm detention camps.

Additional Prosecution witnesses say the third indictee participated in the beating of detainees in Omarska and Keraterm.

The defence for the four men indicted over the Omarska and Keraterm camps in north-west Bosnia has denied they took part in the crimes committed there in 1992.

The public was excluded during the discussion on protection measures for additional Prosecution witnesses.

The examination of the first witness for Dusko Knezevic's Defence at the trial for crimes in Omarska and Keraterm detention camps continues with no public presence.

Defence witnesses give contradictory statements concerning Zeljko Mejakic's function in Omarska detention camp.
