Alija Osmić

26 August 2010

Lawyers for a man charged with crimes committed against Bosnian Croats from Bugojno presented 19 pieces of material evidence relating the break out of conflict in the area and the competencies of the military police.

Osmic is a former military policeman with the 307th Brigade of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He is charged with the detention, torture, murder, forced labour and inhumane treatment of Bosnian Croats in the Bugojno area during1993 and 1994.

The evidence included military reports made in 1993. Osmic’s lawyer Kerim Celik said he wanted to prove that the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, made preparations for the conflict in Bugojno.

The defence also presented official notes made by the Military Police Unit of the 307th Brigade in 1993 with which it tried to prove the unit’s competencies.

The next hearing takes place on September 6.
