Prosecution witness Mevludin Oric told the state court on Tuesday that the morning after the fall of Srebrenica on July 11, 1995, he started out with his father through the woods to Tuzla in a column of around 15,000 people who were fleeing the Bosnian Serb attack.
A former detainee told the trial of four Bosnian Serbs accused of beating prisoners in Bileca in 1992 that he was hit almost every day during his time in custody.
