SARAJEVO, July 16 (FENA) - Former Bosnian Serb reservist policemen Milorad Obradović will stand trial for involvement in killings, torture and other crimes against Bosniak civilians in the Prijedor area in 1992.
The Bosnian state court on Monday confirmed the charges against Milorad Obradović, also known as Stiven, who is accused of taking part in the persecution of Bosniak civilians in late July 1992 as a member of the reserve police force in Ljubija near Prijedor.
According to previous statements from the Bosnian prosecution, Obradović took part in the capture of 120 civilians in Miska Glava near Ljubija. The civilians were illegally detained, tortured, abused and finally killed.
“The available evidence suggests that only three people managed to survive the shooting and run away from the location of the execution. At least 15 minors were among the people who were killed,” the indictment alleges, BIRN reports.
Obradović has also been charged with personally killing three Bosniak civilians at the Rudar football stadium in Prijedor.
He was recently extradited to Bosnia and Herzegovina from Germany.
There is already an ongoing trial of eight other men accused of crimes in Miska Glava and Ljubija at the state court, and the prosecution has asked for Obradović’s case to be connected to the trial.
