Gasal et al: Two indictees released from custody

04 July 2008  The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has announced a decision, terminating custody and ordering certain prohibitive measures against the two indictees, who are charged with crimes against Bosnian Croats from Bugojno.

The State Court rendered a custody termination order in the case of Nisvet Gasal and Musajb Kukavica, who are charged with crimes against Croatian civilians in the Bugojno area in 1993. 

Under the same decision, the Court imposed certain prohibitive measures against the indictees. 

The State Court previously terminated custody of Gasal and Kukavica on May 13 this year. However after the State Prosecution filed an appeal, the Appellate Chamber rendered a new custody order on May 29, 2008. 

As per the Court's decision of July 4, certain prohibitive measures have been introduced against Gasal and Kukavica, including a ban on leaving their places of residence, confiscation of their travel documents, a ban on issuing new travel documents in their names, an obligation to personally report to a police station every day, a ban on contacting witnesses, accessories or any other persons, except their Defence attorneys. 

In addition, the indictees are banned from attending social gatherings, visiting coffee shops or restaurants, and performing any business or official functions with police or military authorities.  

The State Prosecution charges Gasal, Kukavica, Enes Handzic and Senad Dautovic with crimes committed in the "Iskra" detention camp in Bugojno, in which more than 300 Bosnian Croats were detained. The indictment alleges that Gasal was manager of the detention camp and Kukavica was commander of security.

Gasal and Kukavica were ordered into custody on March 23, 2007. The trial began in December 2007. Evidence presentation by the Prosecution is currently underway.
