Case: Mikulic Drazen

The Appellate Chamber of the Bosnian State Court sentenced a former member of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, Drazen Mikulic, to a year-and-a-half in prison for crimes against a Bosniak civilian held in the Dretelj camp, near Capljina, in 1993.

Former Bosnian Croat fighter Drazen Mikulic is being retried after his conviction for war crimes against prisoners at the Dretelj detention camp near Capljina in 1993 was overturned.

The Defence of Drazen Mikulic, who is charged with crimes in Dretelj, presents medical documentation issued by the Clinical and Hospital Centre in Split pertaining to witness Marinko Sosa.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina finished its additional evidence hearing in the proceedings against Drazen Mikulic, who is charged with crimes in the Dretelj camp, with the report from the expert witness which says that one of the camp prisoners died “most probably” from a blow.

Testifying in his defence at the trial for crimes in Dretelj, indictee Drazen Mikulic says that he visited Dretelj three times during July and August 1993, but he never had any contact with detained Bosniaks.

A Prosecution witness confirmed that the accused Drazen Mikulic physically abused detainees at the Dretelj camp in July 1993.
