Djukic: Helping the wounded

26 August 2008  Four more Prosecution witnesses describe what happened on the day when dozens of young people were either killed or wounded in Tuzla.

Four new Prosecution witnesses spoke about May 25, 1995, when a mortar hit the Kapija area in Tuzla, where young people used to gather, killing 71 and wounding more than 200 people.

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina charges this crime upon Novak Djukic, former commander of the Ozren Tactical Group with the Republika Srpska Army, VRS. The Prosecution considers that, on May 25, 1995 Djukic ordered an artillery squad, situated on mount Ozren, to shell Tuzla, using M46 cannons.

"I heard an explosion and I saw a lot of dust. A few seconds later we heard screams and cries for help. There was blood everywhere. People were saying all kinds of things, like 'do not leave us here, save us' and so on, " Nadir Huremovic said. As he was not injured on that day, he and his friend tried to help the wounded.

Witness Vildana Isic said that her two brothers were wounded on that day, but she was not injured. She said that she went to Gradina hospital by car, together with her brothers and a few other wounded people. When they got there they received medical assistance.

"I had to step on my friends' body parts. When we arrived to the hospital, I found out that my boyfriend had been killed. A friend of mine, who was with me on that day, died ten days later," Isic said.

Witnesses Edin Altunbabic and Adnan Aliefendic were not wounded on May 25, 1995. As they said in the courtroom, they tried to help whoever they could after the mortar had hit the ground.

"I drove a few people to the hospital. I stayed there, helping others carry the wounded people to the hospital. I remember a truck, which drove many wounded people to the hospital. Most of them did not show any signs of life," Altunbabic said.

The trial is due to continue on September 2, 2008, when the Prosecution will examine three more witnesses.
