Former Bosnian Serb soldier Sretko Pavic was sentenced to 13 years in prison for the detention and killing of five Bosniak civilians, all members of the same family, near Prijedor in 1992. The Bosnian state court found Sretko Pavic guilty on Monday of having participated in the murder of five civilians in the village of Rizvanovici in the Prijedor area in the second half of July 1992, and sentenced him to 13 years in prison.

Former Bosnian Serb soldier Bosko Devic appealed against the verdict convicting him of crimes against humanity for his involvement in the murders of four Bosniaks in the Kljuc area in 1992. Bosko Devic’s defence appealed on Friday against last year’s verdict convicting him of involvement in the murders of four Bosniaks in the village of Gornji Kamicak […]

Eight Bosniaks launched an appeal against their convictions for committing crimes against Serb and Croat civilians who were illegally held in wartime detention camps in the Hadzici area.

Prosecutor Marijana Cobovic told the appeals chamber of the Bosnian state court in Sarajevo on Wednesday that it had been proved during the retrial that Samir Kesmer and Mirsad Menzilovic raped an underage girl in Sarajevo in May 1993. “The injured party said at the main trial that she had been raped multiple times by the defendants,” Cobovic said.

The sentence handed down to former Croatian Defence Council brigade commander Mensur Djakic for not punishing the killers of three Serb captives in the Brcko District in 1992 was increased on appeal from two to eight years in jail.

Former policeman Dragan Janjic went on trial again for the rape of a woman in Miljevina near Foca in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992 after a previous verdict convicting him was quashed.

Former Bosnian Army brigade commander Ahmet Sejdic told the Bosnian court that he was not guilty of wartime crimes against Serb civilians and prisoners of war in Rudo, Visegrad and Gorazde in 1992-93. Ahmet Sejdic told the Bosnian state court in Sarajevo on Friday that he was innocent, as his defence called for his acquittal on all charges in the indictment accusing him of the inhumane treatment of Serb civilians and prisoners of war in the period between July 1992 and February 1993.

The prosecution argued that former Bosnian Serb soldier Zdravko Lubarda’s six-year sentence for committing crimes against humanity by persecuting Bosniaks in the Rogatica area in 1992 and 1993 should be increased.

Four former Bosnian Army soldiers appealed against their convictions for crimes against Bosnian Croat civilians at a detention facility in the village of Kruscica, near Vitez in 1993. Defence lawyers for Bosniak ex-soldiers Minet Akeljic, Saban Haskic, Senad Bilal and Hazim Petkovic appealed at the Bosnian state court on Thursday to have the verdict convicting them overturned, or a retrial held.

Former fighter Zeljko Novakovic was charged with crimes against humanity for participating in the murders, torture and persecution of Bosniak civilians in the villages of Ekici and Alici in the Bosanski Novi area in 1992. The Bosnian state prosecution on Friday charged against Zeljko Novakovic with committing crimes against humanity in the villages of Alici and Ekici, where 27 Bosniak civilians were killed on June 22, 1992.
