ZAGREB/SARAJEVO, December 17 (FENA) - The trial of former Bosnian Serb Army officer Dane Lukajić, accused of involvement in violence against prisoners of war detained at the Manjača detention camp in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, opened in Zagreb.
The trial of Dane Lukajić, a 68-year-old citizen of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina accused of committing war crimes against prisoners of war while he was a captain in the Bosnian Serb Army in 1992, started on Monday at Zagreb County Court.
Lukajić is charged with ordering his Bosnian Serb Army subordinates at the Manjača detention camp near the Bosnian town of Banja Luka to beat and injure two Croat Defense Council (HVO) members as well as three Croat Defense Forces, HOS detainees.
He is also charged with personally inflicting serious injuries on one of the HOS members.
Croatian police arrested Lukajić as he was entering the country in June this year.
The Bosnian Serb-run Manjača detention camp operated from 1991-92 and briefly again in 1995. The majority of the prisoners were Bosniak and Croat civilians, BIRN BiH reports.
