Gasal et al: Trial postponed

Gasal i ostali
Gasal i ostali

18 June 2008  The trial of four former Bosnian Army members has been postponed as the witnesses failed to appear.

A Prosecution witness who was invited to testify at the hearing on June 18, failed to appear in the courtroom. The trial of the four former members of the Bosnian Army has therefore been postponed until June 25, 2008.

As per the current legal regulations, the gap between two subsequent hearings may not be longer than one month. However, Trial Chamber Chairman Davorin Jukic said that, in the case, this was "a rather reasonable time span" and "a retrial would not be in the best interest to the indictees."

The parties did not have any objections concerning the extension of the prescribed time span between the hearings.

The State Prosecution charges Nisvet Gasal, Musajb Kukavica, Enes Handzic and Senad Dautovic with the crimes against civilians in the Bugojno area.

Handzic and Dautovic are charged with war crimes against the wounded and the sick and war crimes against prisoners of war.

The indictment alleges that, from August 1993 to March 19, 1994 Gasal and Kukavica were responsible for the functioning of the detention camp formed at 'Iskra" football stadium, where more than 300 Croatian men were held in inhumane conditions. Among other things, the detainees were used as human shields by the Bosnian Army at the frontlines.

The indictment alleges that Handzic and Dautovic, in cooperation with the civil municipal authorities in Bugojno and military units of the Bosnian Army, "participated in a joint criminal enterprise, with an aim of detaining, torturing and killing the detained Bosnian Croats."

According to the indictment Handzic was assistant commander for security with the 307th Brigade of the Bosnian Army and Dautovic was commander of the Joint Staffs of the Bosnian Army for Bugojno town. They are charged, on the basis of their command responsibility, with having failed to undertake measures in order to prevent the crimes against detainees and punish the perpetrators.
