>MATO called "Rakijica",, FILIPOVIC PEJO called "Babo" and JURIC MIRKO
called
>"Jurka", CIKIN MATA called "Matko", FILIPOVIC NIKOLA called "Nikson",

>
>3.4.3. Serb Inmates Killed or Dead From Injuries Suffered in
>the Prison Camps in the Area of Orasje
>
>A number of Serb inmates, civilians and prisoners of war, were killed in
the
>prison camps in the area of Orasje. We shall state here only those cases
>which are supported by evidence, but unfortunately, the number of actual
>cases is certainly considerably higher.
>
>3.4.3.1. DANILOVIC MILORAD, killed on December 8, 1992, from Gnionica -
>Odzak, born in 1944, of father Simo, was detained in the prison camp of
>Donja Mahala in the area of Orasje. On that day he was with the other
>inmates - Serbs G.J. and S.T. taken to dig trenches for the ammunition.
Then
>one of the guards approached the trench in which were G. and S. and threw a
>pack of cigarettes, and when they took each one one cigarette they threw
the
>pack of cigarettes to Danilovic, when he came to take a cigarette, three
>Croat soldiers came and one of them fired a round of ammunition in the
>direction of Danilovic, hitting him, and then ordered this witness and the
>inmates who were with him to bury the body of Danilovic, and immediately
>afterwards to take him out and transfer him to a passenger car in the rear
>of the front line, and the guard ordered them not to say anything to
anyone,
>but only to say that "Danilovic was killed by Serbs".
>
>This killing in a special way confirms how much, objectively speaking,
>taking of Serb civilians-inmates to dig trenches and do the jobs at the
>front battle lines even during combat actions, was dangerous for their
lives
>and was a violation of all the norms of the international war law, because
>they were exposed to lethal danger both from the other battle line and from
>the soldiers guarding them.

>3.5. PRISON CAMPS IN ODZAK
>
>Serbian population from Gornji Svilaj, Donja Dubica, Struka, Trnjak and
Novi
>Grad in the area of the municipality of Odzak and Odzak itself, was
deceived
>and instead of finding itself in the liberated territory, was deported on
>May 8, 1992 to the two established prison camps in the area of Odzak - to
>the Primary School in Odzak and to the premises of the "Strolit" company.
At
>the same time, their property was plundered and their houses burnt down.
>Otherwise, a number of Serbs - inmates who were lucky enough to survive,
>passed through several prison camps in the area of Bosnian Posavina - they
>were in the camp in Odzak, then in Bosanski Brod, then in Orasje - Donja
>Mahala, depending on how the Serbs in time were liberating certain areas.
>
>Hereinafter we shall present those few surviving cases in respect to the
>overall enormous perdition of the Serbian people in these prison camps, but
>they will, nevertheless, show what inhuman treatment was inflicted upon
>Serbs - inmates, and how they were tortured and even killed in these camps.
>
>3.5.1. Torture - Body Injury of Inmates
>
>At the very beginning, to make, perhaps, easier better understanding of the
>origin of so much sick imagination that the perpetrators of the atrocious
>crimes committed against Serbs have shown in the prison camps in Odzak - we
>shall state one detail from the testimony of the witness PANIC MILAN (born
>in 1942), who is confirming the statements by many other inmates about the
>conditions of living for Serbs - civilians in the prison camps of Odzak,
and
>also states one truly interesting fact.
>
>This witness, inter alia, states the following:
>
>"...Ante Golubovic in June 1992 was showing some manual of the Foreign
>Legion, saying that in that book there are explanations of all the ways how
>to beat, torture and kill. He was saying that the Ustashi spirits are
>resurrected from the World War Two and that they will carry out the ideas
of
>the Ustashi ideology to the end..."
>
>Hereinafter in this report, beyond any doubt it will be seen that Ante
>Golubovic, unfortunately, did apply well indeed his knowledge acquired from
>the said manual, and turned its instructions into a daily routine of the
>prison camp.
>
>3.5.1.1. In the prison camp of Odzak in the month of June 1992 all the Serb
>inmates with the family name of Ninkovic were called out, some 15 of them,
>and when they approached, they were ordered to knock their heads against
the
>wall until they started bleeding. One of them, who was not kicking his head
>hard enough against the wall, was hit with a pistol on the forehead by the
>commander of this torture ordeal, and those who remained conscious he was
>forcing to hit each other.
>
>Perpetrator of this crime is DJOJIC TOMO, member of the group "Fire Horses"
>within the formation of the second combat 102nd Odzak Brigade.
>
>EVIDENCE: Witnesses 191/94-38, 280/95-10, 280/95-72, 280/95-73 and
191/94-5.
>
>3.5.1.2. In the prison camp in the Primary School in Odzak during the year
>1992 the Serb inmates were forced to stand at attention and sing the song
>"Here is dawn, here is day" even fifty times in a row, so many were
fainting
>from exhaustion.
>
>For this torture of Serbs the responsible person is GOLUBOVIC ANTO -
>commander of the prison camp.
>
>EVIDENCE: witness 280/95-5
>
>3.5.1.3. In the prison camp in the Primary School in Odzak in May-June 1992
>DJOJIC TOMO ordered nine of the inmates "to sit close to the wall, to put
>their hands on the floor and to lower their heads", and then he would pass
>along them in one direction and would kick every Serb inmate with the sole
>of his boot in the temple from one side, and then would return from the
>other direction and would do that again. Then he would order an inmate to
do
>the same on one side, what he was doing. The same member of the already
>mentioned extremist group "Fire Horses" would order the inmates, when he
had
>previously placed the glasses on their heads, to kick their heads against
>the wall, but not to break the glasses.
>
>EVIDENCE: witness 280/95-9
>
>Perpetrator of the crime : DJOJIC TOMO
>
>Responsible person: GOLUBOVIC ANTO, camp commander.
>
>3.5.1.4. The witness 365/94-1 (191/94-29 and 280/95-67) from Novi Grad,
>Municipality of Odzak, who was detained in the prison camps located in
>Odzak, then in Novi Grad near Odzak, in Bosanski Brod, and finally in the
>prison camp in Slavonski Brod from May 8, 1992 to September 16, 1992, is
one
>of the many who were subjected to various terrible tortures and
>humiliations, but one of the few who left the camp alive. His testimony
>confirms the following:
>
>that the inmates were systematically beaten, that several of the inmates
>were taken out together, that they were beaten in the corridors, in the
>classrooms, offices, WCs, "wherever it crossed their minds", that guards
>were erupting in the hall where all the inmates were detained and were
>beating them at random - with riffle butt, kicking them with feet clad in
>heavy boots, hitting them with batons on all parts of the body, with boards
>from school desks, legs of chairs and benches with nails still on. Most of
>them would surround several inmates and would start kicking them. Inmates
>were injured with sharp blades of axes, and with the blunt part were hit on
>the spine and toes.
>the witness especially remembers that CINDRIC DAMIR stabbed him 12 times
>with a knife in the foot through the shoe, and that he was beaten with an
>iron rod on the back and stomach while he was bending over the table.
>they were ordering him to stand straight with hands above his head, and
then
>several of the torturers would run and jump kicking him with feet his
chest,
>stomach and back.
>
>The witness described several types of torture:
>
>leaning only on three fingers of each hand on the stairs, on feet while
they
>were being beaten;
>"jumping into Sava river" - jumping from the chair with arms along the
body,
>jumping on concrete as if jumping in water;
>running while ordered to 'break down' the entrance door of the gym with the
>head;
>extinguishing cigarettes on their hands;
>licking of their own blood from the floors and walls.
>
>The witness stated that even after beating the inmates were not promptly
>returned to the hall, but in that terrible state had to run.
>
>Several times in such a situation the witness could not walk but had to
>crawl, and one of the torturers in such situations would ride on him
saying:
>"Come on, Cedo, the faster you get there, the less beating you will get".
>
>The witness described yet another type of torture and humiliation,
mentioned
>also by the other witnesses.
>
>In the prison camp in Odzak, once the commander Golubovic Anto came, and
>Tolic Josip and Bozic Jurica, chiefs of the guard shifts were already
there,
>and took the witness into a room where a completely naked S was already
>lying on the floor, some 22-23 years old girl from Novi Grad and a mentally
>disturbed person. He was ordered to take off all of his clothes and to lick
>the sexual organ of S, which he did, while the torturers were laughing. S.
>did not react at all. Then they forced S to suck his sexual organ, which
she
>did, while Tolic Josip all the time was hitting her on the behind and back
>with the baton.
>
>The witness stated the names of other inmates who were forced to have a
>sexual intercourse with S.L.
>
>Finally, the witness specified that he was beaten, as well as the other
>inmates, by Golubovic Ante, Tolic Josip, Bozic Jurica, Cindric Damir, but
>also by: Ahmetovic Ibrahim called "Ibe", Ahmetovic Bahrija, Hodzic - Mehic
>Nerman, Hodzic - Mehic Sead, Topolovac Simo, "and I heard that he was
raping
>women who were in the camp", Djojic Tomo, member of the HVO, Saldic Omer,
>Puzic Enes, Nikolic Zdenko, Terzic Albina, called "Nina" and Hodzic Adisa.
>
>EVIDENCE: Witness 365/94-1; 191/94-29 and 280/95-67.
>
>Responsible person for the crimes is GOLUBOVIC ANTO, commander of the camp
>and all the persons stated in the testimony of the witness 365/94-1
>(191/94-29 and 280/95-67).
>
>3.5.1.5. The witness 365/94-1 was examined by the medical commission of the
>medical experts - specialists in forensic medicine and the commission
>submitted its written find and gave its opinion:
>
>On the witness 365/94-1 regular-shaped circular grey-whitish scar was found
>on the root of the left hand, 1x1 cm in diameter, that could have been
>caused by a burn from the cigarette, and at the time of infliction that
>injury may be qualified as a slight body injury, that it was followed by
>pain of high intensity, that the callus on the 8th left rib was caused by
>the fracture of this rib which was caused by a blow with a blunt mechanical
>object, such as fist, knee, foot, baton, rod, etc, and that this fracture
is
>a slight body injury, that on the left hand scars were found and also on
the
>thigh and right shin, and on the right temple, caused from the inflicted
>injuries, on the basis of anamnesis, after possible cuts caused by blows of
>a blunt mechanical object, such as baton, riffle butt, boot, etc.
>
>The contents of the said written find and opinion of the medical commission
>of medical experts and all the other evidence, confirm that the testimony
of
>this witness is admissible beyond any doubt.
>
>EVIDENCE: written find and opinion of the medical commission of medical
>experts 365/94-III-9.
>
>3.5.1.6. Several of the former prison camp inmates - witnesses stated that
>Golubovic Anto was beating and torturing them - hitting them with baton,
>feet, iron chairs, ordering an inmate from the distance of 5 meters to run
>and hit his head on the wall and do it five times in a row - until he
>faints, that on several occasions both in the prison camp in Odzak and
later
>in Bosanski Brod he was calling out entire families for beating.
>
>EVIDENCE: Witnesses 365/94-2, 365/94-4, 365/94-5, 365/94-7, 593/94-10,
>593/94-3, 593/94-14, 55/95-3, 55/95-18, 55/95-2, 55/95-39 and 280/95-4.
>
>Perpetrator of the crimes: GOLUBOVIC ANTO, camp commander
>
>3.5.1.7. A large number of witnesses - Serbs, former inmates, states that
>Tolic Josip, chief of the guard shift in the prison camp in Odzak, and
later
>in the prison camp in Bosanski Brod, was beating and torturing inmates, so
>the witness 280/95-8 testified that Tolic Josip was kicking him with a boot

>especially stated that in late May or early June 1992 he forced him to
fight
>with a baton JAGODIC OBRAD from Donja Dubica, and since he was not
satisfied
>with the intensity of blows, he took the heads to the two men and hit one
