During the nine-month trial, the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina tried to prove the guilt of Muhidin Basic and Mirsad Sijak, who are indicted for war crimes of rape in Vares in early 1994, while their Defence considers the indictees not guilty and that they should be freed.

Presenting its closing statement, the defence of Muhidin Basic has called for the acquital saying that the prosecution has failed to prove that the defendant is guilty of rape in Vares in 1994. The defence said that the protected witness A was the only “alleged direct witness” of the events, adding that “other evidence casts doubts on her reliability”.

Testifying in his defence, indictee Mirsad Sijak says that, after having been wounded in his lower limbs and genitals in January 1994, he underwent a medical treatment for one month, adding that he is a collateral damage in this case and that he does not know why injured party A accused him of rape.
