SARAJEVO, Bosnia (December 3,2007) - A Vojno concentration camp survivor told the Bosnian State Court how the Bosnian women detained by the fascist Croatian aggressor in the Vojno concentration camp, including her daughter, were raped.
At the trial of four former members of the fascist Croatian aggressor's formations protected Prosecution witness spoke about the Vojno concentration camp near the southern Bosnian city of Mostar, where her daughter survived rape.
"Guard Rudo Ramic asked my daughter to leave the room in which we stayed. I begged him to take me as well, but he did not allow me to go. Later on, when she came back, she cried, screamed, pulled her hair and said she would jump into a river," said the protected witness, adding that her daughter told her that she "was raped by a person named Dragan Skobic".
The Bosnian State Prosecutor charges Croatian war criminals Marko Radic, Dragan Sunjic, Damir Brekalo and Mirko Vracevic, as former members of the fascist Croatian aggressor's formations, with responsibility for the happenings in the Vojno concentration camp, in which Bosnian men, women and children were detained during the Croatian aggression against Bosnia in the early 1990's.
The indictment alleges that detained Bosnian civilians were beaten, maltreated,forced to perform hard labour,murdered and raped by the fascist Croatian aggressor.
In early September 1993 the Croatian aggressor's soldiers came and forced us to leave our apartment in Mostar, which was situated on the west bank of the Neretva river, said the protected witness, adding that she was taken to Vojno concentration camp, together with 18 other Bosnian civilians, her daughter and her 72-year-old mother.
The protected witness said she saw when a Bosnian woman was taken away by the fascist Croatian aggressor's soldiers from the room in which they were detained.
She also stated that, one occasion Croatian war criminals Marko Radic, Dragan Sunjic, Damir Brekalo and a person known as Jez were present when some Bosnian women were taken out.
Brekalo introduced himself and asked a Bosnian woman, who was holding her child, to go out with him. When she said she could not go because of the child, he threw the child on the ground and dragged her out. When she returned later on, she was crying. When they went to the toilet together, she told my daughter that she had been raped, said witness.
Speaking about Croatian war criminal Mirko Vracevic, the witness said that he was a guard and that he "touched her daughter's neck with a knife on two occasions". However, he did not hurt her because a guard known as Kuna stopped him. "Vracevic did not maltreat me, but I heard he did maltreat witness AM, although I do not know what exactly he did to her," said witness.
The trial of Croatian war criminals Marko Radic, Dragan Sunjic, Damir Brekalo and Mirko Vracevic is due to continue before the Bosnian State Court today, December 3, when three more witnesses will be examined.
