The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina orders prohibiting measures against seven persons, who are suspected of crimes against humanity committed in Kotor-Varos.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina files a motion requesting the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to order custody for two out of seven suspects, who were arrested due to a suspicion that they committed crimes in the Kotor-Varos area in the second half of 1992.
Presenting his closing statement at the trial for crimes committed in Kotor-Varos, the Prosecutor says that it has been proved that the indictees participated in an attack on Serdari village, requesting the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina to sentence them in accordance with the law.
The presentation of evidence for crimes in the Kotor-Varos area in 1992 has been completed with the presentation of material evidence by the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Defence.
As the trial for crimes in Kotor-Varos continues, indictee Sead Menzils Defence witnesses say that, in 1992 they signed statements about events in that area after having been captured by members of Serb forces and that they signed them under pressure.
As the trial for crimes in Kotor-Varos continues, the Defence of the third indictee presents material evidence in order to prove the existence of an armed conflict in that area, but the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina objects to relevance of those pieces of evidence.
During cross-examination, a military expert witness says that two soldiers were present in Serdari village during an attack on the village, but that does not change the stand that civilians were attacked and killed.
Denying the Defences evidence, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina examines a military court expert who says that Serdari village was outside the combat activities zone, adding that neither Serb forces nor any organised defence existed in the village.
At the trial for crimes committed in the territory of Kotor-Varos, a witness said he had given a deposition under pressure, because he was afraid he would be physically assaulted.
