The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals for a third time rejected the early release request of the wartime leader of a Bosnian Serb Army reconnaissance unit who was sentenced to 28 years in prison for multiple rapes and enslavement in Foca.

The Bosnian court rejected a challenge to the verdict acquitting Spomenko Novovic and Borislav Pjano of involvement in the illegal detention and killing of Bosniak civilians in the Foca area during the war in 1992.

In the new edition of TV Justice we’ll be talking about crimes committed in Foca during the war, which are commemorated in August. In the spring and summer of 1992, members of the non-Serb population were held in detention facilities, raped, killed and deported. More than 600 people who went missing during that period are still being looked for, and surviving victims and people who returned to Foca after the war are struggling to overcome its legacy without the support of the authorities.

Belgrade Appeals Court quashed the verdict convicting Danko Vladicic of killing an elderly couple in the Bosnian town of Brod na Drini during the war in 1992 and sent the case for a retrial.

Spomenko Novovic and Borislav Pjano were cleared of involvement in the illegal detention and killing of Bosniak civilians in the Foca area of eastern Bosnia during the war in 1992.

Former soldier Radovan Veljovic was sentenced to seven years in prison for raping a women during a “widespread and systematic” attack by Bosnian Serb forces in the Foca area in 1992.

The prosecution asked the court to convict Radovan Veljovic of committing a crime against humanity for raping a woman during a campaign of violence by Bosnian Serb forces in the Foca area in 1992.

The Bosnian state court confirmed an indictment charging wartime unit commander Miodrag Nikacevic with committing a crime against humanity for his involvement in persecuting Bosniaks in Foca in 1992.
