Case: Oric et al. Archives

The acquittal of Naser Oric, the Bosnian Army’s former commander in Srebrenica, has been quashed and he will be retried for allegedly killing three Bosnian Serb prisoners of war in 1992. The appeals chamber of Bosnia’s state court has overturned the first-verdict acquitting Naser Oric and his subordinate Sabahudin Muhic and ordered a retrial, the prosecution confirmed to BIRN on Monday.

At the trial of Naser Oric and Sabahudin Muhic, a defence witness testified that another Bosniak commander said he took revenge on a Serb judge who the defendants are accused of killing.

A second instance verdict of the Supreme Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentenced Nedzad Oric, Hamed Salihovic and Azem Ahmic to one year and eight months of prison, respectively, for crimes they committed in Srebrenik in July 1995.

The Bosnian federation entity Supreme Court quashed a verdict under which Nedzad Oric was sentenced to four, and Hamed Salihovic and Azem Ahmic to one year in prison respectively for crimes in Srebrenik.

Appealing against a verdict for crimes in Srebrenik the Federal Prosecution requests the Court to sentence Hamed Salihovic and Azem Ahmic to more than one year in prison and confirm the four-year sentence against Nedzad Oric, while the Defence teams request the Court to quash the verdict.

The Supreme Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina quashes a verdict under which Hamed Salihovic, Nedzad Oric and Azem Ahmic were sentenced for crimes in Srebrenik, and orders a retrial.

The Cantonal Court in Tuzla sentences Nedzad Oric to three and Hamed Salihovic and Azem Ahmic to one year in prison each for crimes against the civilian population in Srebrenik.

The continuation of the trial of Hamed Salihovic, Nedzad Oric and Azem Ahmic before the Cantonal Court in Tuzla has been postponed as per a request by one of the Defence attorneys. The presentation of closing statements has been scheduled for September 12.

Testifying at the trial for crimes in Srebrenik, a court expert in psychiatry says that indictee Nedzad Oric had a reduced capability of judging his behaviour, when the crime was committed in July 1995.

As indictee Nedzad Oric fails to appear at the trial, the Chairwoman of the Trial Chamber with the Tuzla Cantonal Court gives an order to court police to apprehend him to the next hearing.
