Omarska

The Bosnian state court in Sarajevo has confirmed the indictment charging Slavko Puhalic, Zeljko Rudak, Dragan Skrbic, Rajko Damjanovic and Dragomir Saponja with crimes against prisoners held at the Bosnian Serb-run Trnopolje, Keraterm and Omarska detention camps during the war in 1992.

Listening to reports from other towns in Bosnia, he hoped the war would stop soon. However, in the conflict that soon spread to Prijedor, Hukanovic and his son were arrested and taken from their home to the infamous Bosnian Serb-run Omarska detention camp on May 30, 1992.

He has never figured out why his young son was also arrested.

Former detainees of the Bosnian Serb-run wartime camps at Prijedor in north-west Bosnia have filed a joint complaint to the Serbian Electronic Media Regulatory Authority, REM, against Happy TV.

The Bosnian state prosecution on Wednesday charged Milorad Kotur and Dusan Culibrk with wartime crimes including the killing of detainees from the Omarska prison camp.

"The accused are charged with the murder of 44 detainees from the Omarska camp, committed at Donji Dubovik [near the town of Bosanska Krupa] in the summer of 1992," the prosecution said in a statement.

It was a long and arduous road to recovery for Pervanic, but now, in 2019, he's the founder and main driving force behind Most Mira (Bridge of Peace), an international organisation currently focused on peace-building in Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically among young people.

Former detainees and family members of people killed in the Omarska detention camp near Prijedor in north-west Bosnia and Herzegovina will mark the 27th anniversary of the date considered as marking the beginning of the closure of the facility on August 6.

The Bosnian state court said it will grant early release to Zeljko Mejakic, the highest-ranking official at the notorious Omarska detention camp, who was sentenced to 21 years in prison for crimes against humanity.

Former detainees and relatives of prisoners who were killed at the Bosnian Serb-run Omarska detention facility in Prijedor marked the 26th anniversary of the closure of the notorious wartime camp.

The 25th anniversary of the beginning of the release of detainees from the notorious Omarska detention camp, run by Bosnian Serb forces in Prijedor, will be marked this weekend.

Bosniaks gathered on Thursday at the iron ore mining complex in Omarska to mark the anniversary of the day in August 1992 when the notorious detention camp was closed down.

Around 6,000 Bosniak and Croat men and women were detained at Omarska and some 700 of them were killed in the three months during which the camp operated at the beginning of the Bosnian war.
