Indictment Filed for Crimes in Luka Detention Camp, Brcko

The Prosecution of Bosnia and Herzegovina has accused Ivan Djuric, in his capacity as a member of the Military Police of the Bosnian Serb Army, VRS, of having participated in crimes against Bosniaks and Croats who were unlawfully detained in Luka detention camp in Brcko, northern Bosnia.

According to the Prosecution, Djuric committed those crimes in collaboration with other VRS members, while the accusations against him were linked with cases of other Brcko crimes prosecuted before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY.

The as yet unconfirmed indictment alleges that, over several days in May 1992, Djuric committed torture at the camp, beating, abusing and robbing those held there, injuring them with weapons and carrying out other inhumane acts against the detained civilians, leaving some with permanent bodily and mental injuries.

The indictment has been filed with the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina for confirmation.
