Presenting her closing statement at the trial for crimes in Stolac and Capljina, the State Prosecutor says that it has been proved that Ivo and Veselko Raguz committed war crimes against the civilian population and that they should be sentenced according to the law.

Testifying in his own behalf, defendant Ivan Zelenika said that he was an ordinary soldier for the Croatian Defence Forces, CDF in 1992, and as such could not issue any orders in Dretelj.

As the trial of indictees Veselko and Ivo Raguz continues, the Defence presents statements given by State Prosecution witnesses Alija and Medin Kaplan in order to try to prove that they did not tell the truth.

Testifying at the trial for crimes in Dretelj, witness Toni Raic confirms that he saw Srecko Herceg in Dretelj, but he never gave him any orders.

Prosecution and defence appealed against the six-year sentence handed down to Bosnian Croat soldier Drazen Mikulic for abusing a prisoner and drinking his blood at the Dretelj camp in 1993.

At the trial for crimes committed in Dretelj, the witness for the Prosecution said he did not remember the events related to defendants and added that during the investigation the prosecutor led him to responses.

Testifying in defence of Veselko Raguz at the trial for crimes in Stolac and Capljina, witnesses say that, being members of a unit commanded by the indictee, they stayed in their zone of responsibility only and did not participated in the arrest of Bosniak men in July 1993.

During the continuation of the trial for crimes in Stolac and Capljina, a Defence witness says that Kostana Hospital, where men were held in detention, was not in the zone of responsibility of the unit commanded by indictee Veselko Raguz, i.e. the Fourth Battalion with Knez Domagoj Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council, HVO.

Testifying at the trial of former members of the Croatian Defence Forces, HOS, a court expert in neuro-psychiatry says that Toni Raic is capable of testifying before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A witness at the trial of five Croatian Defence Forces fighters for war crimes at the Dretelj detention camp in southern Bosnia in 1992 said she was raped and sexually abused while held captive.
