The Bosnian court upheld the two-year jail sentence given to former Croatian Defence Forces member Tonco Rajic for mistreating a civilian prisoner at the Dretelj detention camp near Capljina in August 1992. The third-instance chamber of the Bosnian state court on Thursday upheld Tonco Rajic’s two-year prison sentence for committing a war crime at the Dretelj detention camp.

The Bosnian state court reduced former Dretelj detention camp guard Ivan Medic’s prison sentence for crimes against Serb civilian prisoners from 14 to 12 years on appeal.

Former Croatian Defence Council military policeman Edin Sakoc denied raping a female prisoner in Pocitelj in July 1992. Edin Sakoc told the state court in Sarajevo on Friday that he was never alone with the victim and did not rape her.

The state prosecution filed an indictment against former fighters Miroslav Hrstic, Ivan Medic, Miljenko Nogolica and Tonco Raic for crimes against Serb victims in the Dretelj detention camp in 1992.

Five individuals suspected of war crimes committed in the Capljina area were arrested in the Ljubuski, Siroki Brijeg, Capljina and Mostar areas, as per a warrant issued by the state prosecution.
