Srebrenica Genocide Suspect Arrested

Sud BiH

25 August 2010

The State Investigation and Protection Agency, SIPA, has arrested Dragan Neskovic on a suspicion that he participated in genocide committed at Srebrenica in July 1995.

Radio Justice Report

Acting on a warrant issued by the prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Neskovic was arrested in the Bijeljina area. Prosecutors are investigating allegations that he committed genocide in the Srebrenica area as a member of the police forces with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Republika Srpska, MUP RS.

Prosecutors will now question Neskovic and decide whether to ask that he be held in custody.

After the Bosnian Serb forces occupied the UN protected zone of Srebrenica, several thousand men and boys were killed while women, children and the elderly were deported to territories controlled by the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has handed down second instance verdicts to six former members of the MUP RS totaling 181 years in prison for assisting in the commission of genocide at Srebrenica.

Radomir Vukovic and Zoran Tomic, former policemen, were found guilty of the same crime by a first instance verdict. They were sentenced to 31 years.

The trial of seven former members of Republika Srpska military and police forces charged with genocide is currently underway.
