At todays hearing of the Eso Macic retrial at the Bosnian state court, Macics defense attorney said his sentence should be reduced. The prosecution, on the other hand, proposed that Macic be sentenced as per the law.
Two former prisoners told the trial of Bosnian Army ex-soldier Ibro Macic that they suffered from starvation while detained at the Musala sports centre in Konjic, where the defendant was a guard.
The Appellate Chamber of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina reduces the sentence against Eso Macic from 15 to 13 years in prison for crimes against the civilian population in the Konjic area.
Bosnian youth activists took a bus journey through the country, stopping off at former detention camps along the route, in a bid to raise awareness about war crimes.

The presentation of evidence at the trial of Eso Macic, who is charged with war crimes in Konjic, has been completed with inclusion of two last pieces of Defence's evidence in the case file.

Testifying at the trial for crimes in the vicinity of Konjic, Prosecution witnesses say that Zoran Djordjic, who previously testified as Defence witness, asked for money and took money from people from Konjic with the aim of alleged investigation or concealment of crimes.
A member of the State Investigation and Protection Agency, SIPA says, at the trial for crimes near Konjic, that he found out that Zoran Djordjic asked Dragan Djordjic to give him money, so he would not say, before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that he gave a false testimony.
