Srecko Hercegs defense has requested that he be acquitted of charges for crimes allegedly committed against Bosnian Serb civilians in Dretelj during the Bosnian war.
The Bosnian law states that only witnesses who clearly say that they will not be testifying can be fined or detained, while those witnesses who come to the courtroom, but refuse to answer questions, cannot be sanctioned.
Nikola Andrun was convicted of involvement in the murder and torture of prisoners at the Gabela detention camp near Capljina but his jail sentence was cut from 18 to 14 years.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina proposes to the Court to sentence Nikola Andrun, whose trial has been renewed due to wrong application of law, to at least 18 years in prison, while the Defence requests his release.
The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina requests custody for Nikola Andrun, who was released from prison, where he was serving his sentence, after a verdict against him for crimes against the civilian population in Capljina in 1993 was quashed.
A hearing at which a custody order motion for Nikola Andrun was due to be discussed has been postponed due to a change of Defence attorney. Andrun was released from prison, where he was serving his sentence for war crimes, due to the wrong application of a law.
The first witness, testifying in defence of Srecko Herceg, who is charged with crimes in Dretelj, says that the indictee was Commander of the Training Centre of the Croatian Defence Forces, HOS, in Hardomilje village, near Ljubuski.
