Kujundzic: Hearing closed to public

27 August 2008  At the trial of Predrag Kujundzic the Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina examines protected witness 2, a rape victim, with no presence of the public.

The Trial Chamber, sitting in the case of Predrag Kujundzic, approved the Prosecution's motion, requesting the examination of protected witness 2 with no presence of the public.

Predrag Kujundzic, former commander of the "Predini vukovi" ("Predo's Wolves") paramilitary unit, is charged, under eight counts contained in the indictment, with crimes against humanity in Doboj municipality in 1992 and 1993.


The indictment alleges that Kujundzic sexually abused protected witness 2 and kept her in slavery from June to December 1992, intimidating her by telling her that he would kill her mother and sister. The indictment further alleges that he imposed restrictions on the freedom of movement on witness 2, that he raped her and allowed other soldiers to rape her.

According to the indictment witness 2 was a minor at that time.

At the beginning of the hearing the Trial Chamber announced that the indictee filed a motion, asking for the disqualification of Trial Chamber Chairman Saban Maksumic, because he "distrusted his objectivity in this case" due to the fact that he was a judge with the Regional Military Court in Sarajevo in the course of the war.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina declined the motion.
