337 Years in Prison for Crimes Against Bosniaks in Višegrad

(Patria) - The final verdict of the BiH Court is proof that Serbian criminals, dissatisfied with the scale and monstrosity of the crimes committed against Bosniaks in Višegrad, especially in 1992, brought and brutally killed Bosniaks from other places, even from neighboring countries, into this city.

This was written on his Facebook by senior research associate of the Institute for Research of Crimes Against Humanity and International Law, doc. dr. Ermin Kuka, after the Appellate Panel of the BiH Court confirmed the first-instance verdict by which seven former members of the VRS were sentenced to a total of 91 years in prison for participating in the abduction of 20 civilians from a train in Štrpci on February 27, 1993, who were killed in the Višegrad area.

"The command of the 2nd Podrinje Light Infantry Brigade of the so-called VRS Višegrad, the same one whose members abducted and brutally killed passengers of the train on the Belgrade - Bar route in Štrpci, informed the Command of the Drina Corps in July 1993 that there were no Muslims in its zone of responsibility.

With today's verdicts, a total of 24 criminals have been finally convicted for crimes committed against Bosniaks in the territory of the municipality of Višegrad, totaling 337 years in prison, including one life sentence.

Luka Dragičević, who commanded the brigade, was acquitted. He cannot claim he 'didn't know'. The documents below are proof that he knew very well. He was never held accountable under command responsibility for the horrific crimes committed. Until when," Kuka wrote.
