NEKA ISTINA BUDE POZNATA piše: Marko Ručnov

Opštinske vlasti su imale bolje informacije od članova porodica koji su na vrijeme izbjegli ili odranije živjeli van tih teritorija. Ipak, njihove aktivnosti su bile improvizovane i simbolične. To je jako teško djelovalo na ljude koji su imali nekoga u logorima. Pojedinci su pokušali privatnim vezama razmjene ili izbavljanje svojih najbližih preko Hrvata. Par njih je uspio a većina nije mogla ništa uraditi. Ja sam lično išao na granični prelaz sa Hrvatima da pokušam nešto učiniti, međutim vidjeo sam da to nije put ni mogućnost da se išta ozbiljno uradi. Takođe, blokade kretanja UNPROFOR-a od strane naših žena, da bi se skrenula pažnja svjetskih medija na ta zlodjela, bile su neizvjesne. Vrijeme je vrtoglavo prolazilo, a praktično nije bilo nikakvog uspjeha.

Biti Srbin u Sarajevskom polju, bez obzira na konfesionalnu pripadnost, bilo je skopčano sa brojnim i kontinuiranim poteškoćama. Paradigmatičan slučaj, ako tako može da se kaže, da pomenemo uz ovu nepriliku, desio se sa našim istaknutim književnikom Mehmedom-Mešom Selimovićem. Ne odričući se islama on je istakao svoje srpsko i pravoslavno poreklo i morao se telegrafskom brzinom iseliti iz Sarajeva, bez obzira na sav svoj besprekorni i opštepoznati moralni integritet i što je još bilo vreme "ranog J. B. Tita". Mudri Andrić je jednom drugom našem književniku pripomenuo prilikom njegovog partijskog preseljenja iz Beograda u Sarajevo kako "oni tamo ne vole inicijative". Do danas se na "tim tamo prostorima" još uvek sačuvala "uzrečica" – Što vrištiš k'o Vlah sa koca. I niko da primeti da je turska imperija ponovo u sedlu, i to poprilično dugo, i ponovo obnavlja neku vrstu svog "komonvelta", uz neverovatnu lakoću neprimećivanja svevidećeg ovovremenog čuda zvanog – međunarodna javnost. U vreme nakon što je promovisan Sarajevski krik velikomučenika Mila Bratića, u Las Vegas meni se javio iz Kanade Marko Varagić , pišući o prvim danima kada je Alija Izetbegović, bivši pripadnik 13. SS Handžar divizije, dobio "od nekog" na poklon da bude veliki vezir u Sarajevu. Samo u tom gradu i njegovoj okolini vrlo brzo će biti otvoreno preko 140 raznoraznih logora za Srbe.
"Informativni razgovori"
Nakon raspada bivše Jugoslavije srpski narod je bio najugroženiji i doveden je na rub opstanka, jer nije ni očekivao ni predviđao novu kataklizmu. Prvo se to desilo u Sloveniji, zatim srpskim krajevima sadašnje Hrvatske (Republika Srpska Krajina), te u Bosni i Hercegovini, a potom na Kosovu i Metohiji. Ovoj potonjoj pošasti još se kraja i ne vidi. Oko zbivanja na području sarajevske regije od aprila 1992. dosta toga je poznato. Ja ću se osvrnuti na detalje oko hapšenja i odvođenja ljudi u silos u Tarčinu nedaleko od Sarajeva, onako kako smo mi imali informacije na ostatku opština koje su bile pod kontrolom srpskih vlasti. Prije rata živio sam u Sarajevu preko puta zgrade Radiotelevizije.
Tokom februara i marta 1992. godine već su počeli hapsiti Srbe po stanovima i odvoditi na "informativne razgovore". Za neke nesrećnike ti tzv. informativni razgovori su završeni nakon četiri godine, a za neke su bili tragični i obično su završavali u jamama ili u kotlovnicama na čvrsto loženje. Iz svog stana sam izbjegao sa dvanaestogodišnjim sinom u drugi dio grada na Ilidžu, koji mi se učinio bezbjedniji. Supruga je ostala u stanu par dana i na kraju je i ona morala sve ostaviti i doći do nas. Uskoro, supruga i sin otišli su za Srbiju, a ja sam ostao na Ilidži i nastavio svoj posao na radnom mjestu direktora u hotelima: " Bosna - Srbija " , " Jadran " i "Hercegovina".
Do početka rata ilidžanski MUP je dosta toga organizovao i pripremio za zaštitu naroda, nejači i imovine. Prilično se u tome uspjelo, sem rubnih djelova grada, gdje je bilo većinsko muslimansko stanovništvo. Ostale opstinske strukture su bile na amaterskoj organizaciji.
Otprilike je tako bilo skoro u svakoj sarajevskoj opštini. Ipak, najteže stanje desilo se na dijelu opštine Hadžići. Srbi u Zoviku, Pazariću, Tarčinu, Rastelici i dijelovima konjičke opštine bili su u manjini. Napadi na njih su počeli već u aprilu, a hapšenja po kućama, radnim mjestima, njivama itd. već početkom maja 1992. godine. U periodu masovnog hapšenja mi smo imali samo šture informacije o tome, jer su telefonske veze i ostale komunikacije bile pokidane. Ozbiljnije informacije su dolazile preko Kiseljaka od Hrvata, koji su takođe strepili od hapšenja na teritoriji koju su kontrolisali muslimani. Sredinom maja '92. čuli smo da Srbe zatvaraju u: škole, silose, podrume, tunele i razne magacine. To su kasnije postali najmonstruozniji logori.
Opštinske vlasti su imale bolje informacije od članova porodica koji su na vrijeme izbjegli ili odranije živjeli van tih teritorija. Ipak, njihove aktivnosti su bile improvizovane i simbolične. To je jako teško djelovalo na ljude koji su imali nekoga u logorima. Pojedinci su pokušali privatnim vezama razmjene ili izbavljanje svojih najbližih preko Hrvata. Par njih je uspio a većina nije mogla ništa uraditi. Ja sam lično išao na granični prelaz sa Hrvatima da pokušam nešto učiniti, međutim vidio sam da to nije put ni mogućnost da se išta ozbiljno uradi. Takođe, blokade kretanja UNPROFOR-a od strane naših žena, da bi se skrenula pažnja svjetskih medija na ta zlodjela, bile su neizvjesne. Vrijeme je vrtoglavo prolazilo, a praktično nije bilo nikakvog uspjeha. Razgovarao sam sa predsjednikom opštine Hadžići i on mi je rekao da oni sve čine da se ti ljudi oslobode i puste da slobodno odluče hoće li ostati sa muslimanima ili doći na srpske dijelove opštine. Ukratko mi je rekao da kontaktira sa komandom UNPROFOR-a i da za koju nedjelju očekuje njihovu intervenciju. To isto mi je rekao kasnije i predsjednik opštine Ilidža i dao mi kopiju pisma napisanog UNPROFOR-u, tačnije naslovljeno za gospodina Helmuta Kusa , sektor administrativne službe. Te informacije su za mene bile šokantne, jer smo već čuli da su ljudi polomljeni od batina i da padaju u komu od iscrpljenosti. Zvaničnici kažu nekoliko nedjelja? Pa njih pola tamo neće više biti, oni će pomrijeti! Krajem maja '92. MUP Ilidža, tačnije Tomo Kovač izbavio je 52 srpska zatvorenika koji su bili skoro mjesec dana na informativnom razgovoru u bivšoj kasarni JNA "Viktor Bubanj" u Sarajevu. Među njima su bile moje komšije sa Alipašinog polja i tog dijela grada. Jedva sam prepoznao neke iz svog ulaza i neke bivše učenike iz škole u kojoj sam ranije radio. Oni su preživjeli velike muke. Neke djevojke su silovane danima, pa na kraju likvidirane. Njima niko nije mogao pomoći. Konkretni slučaj je pričao otac jedne mučenice, koji je bio razmijenjen tog dana. On i ostali, dok su izlazili iz autobusa, jedan drugom su pomagali. Neki su bili sa zatvorenim očima od otoka, polomljenih ruku, nogu i drugih dijelova tjela. Nekim je curila krv iz ušiju, drugima iz očiju, a skoro svakom iz nosa i usta. Mnogi su imali polomljene vilice, a skoro svima su zube poizbijali. To im je bio ispraćaj na slobodu od onih koji se zvanično bore za islamsku Bosnu i Hercegovinu, koju predvodi SDA, stranka Alije Izetbegovića. Pred sami rat, umjereni muslimani su se pojedinačno plašili te stranke i njenih ciljeva. Moj bivši kolega rekao mi da je za muslimane pravi naziv stranke SDA "Stranka dragog Alaha", a za svijet "Stranka demokratske akcije"!
Ponavljanje
Dakle, mučenicima u logoru "Silos" je zasada jedina nada načelnik MUP-a Ilidže Tomo Kovač i načelnik MUP-a Hadžići Tihomir Glavaš , koji su sve učinili da komanda UNPROFOR-a ima tačne podatke šta se zbiva na teritorijama pod muslimanskom vlašću. Ipak, te aktivnosti niko nije radio u kontinuitetu i generalno je bilo neorganizovano. Naročito se to potvrdilo odlaskom Tome Kovača sa Ilidže. Pored mojih veliki redovnih I vanrednih obaveza, odlucio sam da moram pokustai pomoci tim mucenicima. Javljale su mi se istorijske slike naših sužanja, seoba, dioba, znana i neznana stratišta. Strepio sam da je to ponovo tu među nama, doneseno lukavstvom savremenog svijeta. Naše žrtve kroz istoriju niko nije uzimao u obzir i niko ne podsjeća na zaboravljene ćele-kule, pakleni mrak Jadovnog, Korita, talase ledene Drine i jednog najvećeg stratišta Jasenovca, gdje ostadoše kosti i moja dva ujaka. Od jednog od njih, ja nosim ime.
Na desetine hiljada Srba sarajevske regije takođe su pohapšeni po kućama 1941. godine i odvođeni u sabirni logor sadašnje kasarne "Maršal Tito". Odatle su ih u teretnim vagonima transpotovali za Jasenovac ili direktno za Austriju i Njemačku. U jednoj od kompozicija sa desetak vagona, oko hiljadu Srba, sa prethodno izvršenom selekcijom, bio je i moj otac. Poslije kapitulacije Njemačke iz te kompozicije voza vratilo se samo sedam preživjelih logoraša, koje su oslobodili ruski vojnici. Među njima je bio i moj otac. To su u Sarajevu uradili isti koji danas žele završiti ono što im je Hitler obećao 1941. godine. Stavili su ista obilježja i zastave iz doba kada su bili sastavni dio Hitlerove okupacione vojske. Nazvali svoje koljačke jedinice istim imenima kao iz prethodnog pohoda na istrebljenje Srba. Sadašnje svjetske sile su odobrile Hitlerov plan za razbijanje Jugoslavije i jednostrani separatizam bivših Hitlerovih saveznika, sa njegovim nacrtanim i obećanim granicama novih državica? Započeo je još tragičniji rat po nacionalnim granicama i on nije ništa drugo bio do vjerski rat. Naši neprijatelji su svu pomoć iz svijeta dobijali po vjerskoj liniji. Zvanične srpske vlasti to nisu nazvale pravim imenom do dana današnjeg? Ako je to politička mudrost, ne znam gdje joj je kraj?! Bojim se da je toj i takvoj "mudrosti" kraj bio mnogo bliži nego i sam početak.
Borba za istinu
Čvrsto sam odlučio da se lično uključim u spas tog naroda, mimo onih koji su za to bili plaćeni. Koristeći se njemačkim jezikom i djelimično francuskim, stupio sam u kontakt sa predstavnicima francuskog bataljona koji je bio u sastavu UNPROFOR-a. Po naređenju komandanta francuskog bataljona u Sarajevu pukovnika Patrice Satre, do mene su u hotel "Srbiju" na Ilidži došla trojica Francuza koje je predvodio oficir Ranieur, pripadnik francuske padobranske jedinice, sa nezvaničnim prevodiocem. Mislim da je to bio 18. maj '92. godine. Obrazložio sam im sve detaljno, šta se dešava sa našim narodom u logorima i nejači koja je ostala po kućama. Razgovor je trajao dva sata. Moji prvi zahtjevi su bili da oni uđu u te logore što je moguće prije, te da logoraše fotografišu, snime i registruju, kako ih ne bi sve pobili. To im je sigurno bila namjera. Dogovorili smo šta mi treba da pripremimo sa ove strane, a i oni da dobiju određena naređenja. Sljedeći sastanak sam tražio ako može u istom danu ili noću tj. što prije. Nazvali su me ujutro i rekli mi da dolaze po dogovoru na sljedeći razgovor. Za taj sastanak sam im pripremio vojne mape i tadašnji spisak logoraša, te zaokružio imena najugroženijih osoba, žena trudnica, naklanih i ranjenih. Te smo informacije imali, a nismo znali da li su istinite. Molio sam od njih, ako uđu u logore, da te ljude traže i da ih vide lično. U toku razgovora su mi rekli da zaokružim imena i članova svoje familije koji su u logoru. Naravno, zaokružio sam i njih i bliže komšije. Najradje bih zaokružio sve sa spiska, ali to bi bilo neozbiljno shvaćeno sa njihove strane. Dakle, zaokružio sam šta su oni tražili. Dali smo im upute kuda da idu, gdje su logori i ostale detalje koje su trebali. Mi smo bili vrlo ažurni, a oni su bili jako zadovoljni. Tog dana mi je mnogo pomogao Desimir Glavaš, koji je bio na bolovanju, neumorni Zoran-Sale Kapetina i Brzi Tolj.

Moram napomenuti da su velike borbe oko Ilidže i Hadžića počele od 22. aprila '92. U tom periodu su još uvjek na smjestaju u Hotel “Srbija” bili pripadnici “Evropske mirovne zajednice” pod komandom Kolm Dojla. On je otvoreno saradjivao sa muslimanskim rukovodstvom I vojskom u Sarajevu. Kada su srpski junaci odbili ovaj mucki napad, Kolm Dojl je trazio da se zaustvi kontra napad I da se ostatak pacijenata iz bolnice dislocira u centar grada. On je licno transporterima “Evropske zajednice”evakuisao muslimanske snajperiste iz bolnice “Institut za fizijatriju I rehabilitaciju”, koji su maskirani kao “pacijenti” pucali snajperima sa prigusivacima po srpskim civilima I vojnicima Ilidze. Na sreću Kolm Dojl je uskoro napustio BiH a njegovi vojnici se prikljucili UNPROFOR-u.
Poslije toga, po Ilidzi su granate padale svaki dan u prosjeku po nekoliko stotina dnevno. Kretanje je bilo teško i veoma rizično. Međutim, Francuzi su odlučili da nam pomognu iako su malo sumnjali da je to sve baš tako strašno kako mi pričamo. Naime, čitav svijet je brujao od informacija da samo Srbi drže logore, siluju i ubijaju. Mi smo znali da je na terenu upravo obrnuta situcija. Zato su muslimani prvi krenuli da animiraju medije, da bi svoja djela sakrili. Nezvanični prevodilac francuskim oficirima u ovom slučaju je bio profesor Mirko Lazarević , časni Srbin, šezdesetogodišnjak, koji je došao iz Francuske ili Belgije kao dobrovoljac, da pomogne braći u nevolji. Pomagao je onako kako je situacija tražila od njega, vodio strane posmatrače, pripadnike UNPROFOR-a i drugih međunarodnih organizacija tamo gdje su bila stratišta srpskih žrtava i poprišta strašnih borbi u odbrani srpskih linija. Drugi prevodilac je povremeno bio moj kolega i prijatelj koji je imao u logoru "Silos" Tarčin kumove i kumčad. Taj gospodin je to obavljao tako efikasno i elegantno da su mnogi stranci mislili da je odrastao u Parizu i školovao se u elitnim francuskim školama. On je svoje srpstvo tako elegantno nosio da je to izlazilo iz već generalno stvorene slike o Srbima i srpstvu. Takvo je bilo njegovo društvo u okruženju sa kojim se on družio i sarađivao. Eto, on je rođen ovdje i vaspitan u građanskoj srpskoj porodici!

Sljedeći razgovor sam imao sa francuskim oficirima za dva dana i rekli su mi da su u prolazu i da imaju jako mnogo problema sa muslimanskim vlastima u Sarajevu oko odobrenja da posjete logore. Sve što su sa nama dogovorili, odobrila je i Komanda UNPROFOR-a.
Napokon su trojica francuskih oficira krenuli za Pazarić preko Hadžića krajem maja '92. Kada su došli na muslimansku barikadu, dočekali su ih sa puškama na gotovs i uz mnogo bijesa i galame. Nikakve njihove propusnice nisu pomogle a ni odobrenja muslimanskih vlasti iz Sarajeva. Bukvalno su ih najurili nazad. U povratku su svratili do mene u Hotel " Srbiju " na Ilidžu i ispričali šta se desilo. Bili su vrlo uplašeni i blijedi.
Ta trojica francuskih oficira nisu odustajala. Riješili su da što prije pokušaju ponovo ući u logore. Ponašanje muslimana im je ukazalo da se zaista tamo svašta dešava. Ja sam im to naglasio i rekao gospodinu Ranieuru : "Tim ljudima nema ko pomoći ako to ne uradite vi lično. Nema vlasti, funkcionera ili drugog autoriteta da im može pomoći. Gospodo, vi ste tim bespomoćnim ljudima jedina šansa za spas." Gledali su me zabrinuto!
Poslije ovog pokušaja, nas par se razletjelo da animiramo naše medije o logorima: Hrasnica – više lokacija, Zovik – Krupa, Pazarić – škola, Tarčin – škola, Tarčin – "Silos", Ivan sedlo – Tunel, Logor Čelebići i Logor Musala u Konjicu. Valja podsjetiti na slučaj sela Bradine, koje su krajem maja '92. godine muslimani i Hrvati prvo opkolili a zatim spalili, preko stotinu muških žitelja masakrirali, a ostalo stanovništvo, uglavnom žene, djecu i starce, držali u tunelu.
Novinar Dragan Alorić , koji je pred početak rata izbjegao na Ilidžu i bio sa mnom angažovan na vitalnim zadacima za organizovanje srpskih medija, kao i Pres-centra u prostorijama Hotela "Bosna-Srbija", kasnije je napravio TV emisiju o Logoru " Silos ", tj. improvizovao je uslove u " Silosu " koristeći isti takav objekat koji se nalazio u Blažuju. Uspješno je dočarao patnje Srba, slikom i riječju. Cilj TV emisije je bio da svijet vidi da i muslimani imaju logore za Srbe.
Privatne razmjene
– Pojedinačne privatne razmjene su bile činjenično dokazivanje tortura, koje su obrazlagali razmijenjeni logoraši, a one su izgledale stravično. Čelnici Republike Srpske i mediji dosta toga su objavili, dok je to u Srbiji bila uglavnom samo agencijska informacija?! Početkom juna '92. godine trojica francuskih oficira su ponovo pokušali da preko Hadžića uđu u Pazarić, pa dalje, ali ni ovog puta muslimanska komanda im nije dala prolaz. Sada su muslimanski predstavnici bili odlučni i zaprijetili su im smrću. Dakle, ni drugi pokušaj nije uspio a informacije iz "S ilosa " su tragične. Već ima mrtvih i nepokretnih logoraša. Članovi porodica sa ove strane su u panici i nemoći. Pojedinci pokušavaju nemoguće, ne bi li izvukli iz pakla najmilije. Mnogi su čuli da sam ja u kontaktu sa UNPROFOR-om i da je to najozbiljnije angažovanje nekog sa ove strane da se logoraši spase na prostoru od Hadžića do Jablanice. Uz veliku pomoć funkcionera MUP-a Tome Kovača i Tihomira Glavaša i tihog čovjeka radilice Vlatka Kneževića , koji su sa svojih pozicija djelovanja učinili mnogo, koristeći redovne službene pregovore sa predstavnicima UNPROFOR-a ukazivali na logore u Sarajevu, naročito one za koje se pričalo da su najteži: "Silos", Krupa, Čelebići, Kasarna "Viktor Bubanj", Hrasnica, Sokolović Kolonija, i desetine drugih logora na sarajevskom području. Opštinski predstavnici su zadovoljavali zahtjeve, pokrivali blagovremeno slučajeve adekvatnom službenom dokumentacijom i dopisima. Znao sam da će uskoro biti privatna razmjena, ali u tom vremenu ništa nije sigurno a naročito neki dogovor sa muslimanima. Na sreću, braća Krstić su privatno razmijenjeni za neke Hrvate 12. juna '92. godine. O ovom sam odmah obavijestio Komandu Francuskog bataljona i ubrzo su trojica njihovih oficira bili kod mene. Dogovorili smo se da ih vide u Hotel " Srbiji " na Ilidži za par dana. Oni su bili u vrlo jadnom stanju, izgubili su preko 20 kilograma za nepuna dva mjeseca u Logoru "Silos" Tarčin. Našli smo se kod mene u kancelariji 16. ili 17. juna. Braća Pero I Branko Krstić sa francuskim oficirima razgovarali su oko tri sata. Prenijeli su im sve strahote i torture kroz koje prolaze srpski civili. Nakon ovog razgovora sa logorašima, oni su bili veoma zabrinuti za ostale zatvorenike, a naročito za Radu Lojanica , koja je bila trudna, i ostalih šest žena, a među njima Bosiljku-Bosu Aleksić , Radojku Pandurević i njenog muža Milorada, koje su najviše mučili. Za treći pokušaj trojice pripadnika Francuskog bataljona da uđu u logore, predložili smo novu i jedino preostalu maršrutu. Lokalni uski put preko Kreševa tj. opštine Kiseljak, koja je pod kontrolom Hrvata. Oni su izvršili sve pripreme i krenuli početkom jula '92. I naišli na užasno ponašanje muslimanske komande na njihovom punktu. U prepirkama se potezalo oružje i na kraju su ih muslimani uhapsili, te natjerali da leže na zemlji. Tako su ih držali nekoliko sati dok nije došlo drugo naređenje, te ih, na sreću, pustili da se vrate. U povratku su svratili do mene u Hotel " Srbiju " na Ilidži. Bili su vrlo iscrpljeni i uplašeni. Tu su se osvježili i tražili savjet šta dalje da rade?
Ulazak u logor
– Tih dana su mediji muslimanske televizije govorili da u Sarajevu umiru od gladi, da su blokirani, da nemaju načina da dobiju hranu itd. To njihovo objavljivanje smo iskoristili i predložili Francuzima da idu u selo Do u Tarčin, da pregledaju željeznički most na pruzi Sarajevo–Ploče. Rekli smo im da kažu muslimanima da je, navodno, taj most miniran pred rat. Transportovanje hrane za Tarčin, pa dalje za Sarajevo, treba uskoro da krene iz luke Ploče. Francuski oficiri su to prihvatili i u tom smjeru vršili pripreme da ponovo pokušaju preko Kreševa. Iz "Silosa" stižu konstantno užasne informacije o patnjama logoraša. Nažalost, povika na Srbe je bila tolika da se glas o srpskim stradanjima izgubio u sveopštem horu koji je najavljivao bombardovanje i sankcije srpskom narodu. Trojica Francuza ne odustaju, traže načina da uđu u "Silos" po svaku cijenu, tamo je zatvoreno preko 550 Srba. Dajemo im imena organizatora logora i odgovornih za sve što se tamo dešava: Tufo Refik , Enver Dupovac , Muhamed Turčinović Zeka , Bećir Hujić , Nezir Fišo , Nedžad Ajnađić , Nezir Kazić , Enes Kazić itd. Za Tufu Refu sam im rekao da ga ja lično poznajem, da je on u mentalnom smislu zaostao, a radio je kao policajac do penzije. U ovom ratu je sam sebi stavio generalske činove. Logoraši iz "Silosa" ga nikada neće zaboraviti. Ovi Francuzi su brzo uvidjeli i saznali kakvu "igru" igra Alija Izetbegović . Njihovi kontakti sa samim vrhom muslimanske vlasti oko dozvola o kretanju po muslimanskoj teritoriji, te samom ponašanju njihovih oficira i vojnika, jako mnogo toga im je reklo. Karte su otvorene, samo kako spasiti toliko izmučenih srpskih civila?
– Početkom avgusta '92. godine trojica francuskih oficira kreću u Kreševo, i dalje u Tarčin, pravac selo Do, da kontrolišu željeznički vijadukt na pruzi Luka Ploče–Sarajevo. U Pločama su tone i tone hrane za muslimane. Granični prelaz, ovaj put sa hrvatske na muslimansku stranu, prolaze bez problema. Na mapama smo im ucrtali gdje je most i kako u povratku najbližim putem stići u muslimansku komandu Logora "Silos". Sve teče po planu, dolaze do "Silosa", traže lokalno rukovodstvo i odgovorne. Oni se skupljaju uspaničeno i sa iznenađenjem. Francuski oficir im vojnički prenosi naređenja i ovlaštenja. Traži da se svi prisutni predstave. Među posljednjima se prestavio Tufo Refo pod lažnim imenom. Kod samog dolaska oni su po našem opisu odmah zapazili glavatog muslimanskog oficira. Znali su da je baš on Tufo Refo, osnivač i idejni kreator Logora "Silos". Gospodin Ranieur je pitao: "Ko je Tufo Refo?" Predstavio se! Dok su mi to pričali, tako su se slatko smijali mom opisu tog primitivnog glavonje, a i njihovom uspjehu što su konačno prvi ušli na muslimansku teritoriju, koja je za sve novinare i međunarodne organizacije bila zabranjena zona. Nastavak razgovora je bio sa poređenjem spiskova, datuma osnivanja logora kao i stanje logoraša. Muslimani su tu pokušali prekinuti sastanak, jer nisu dozvolili ulazak i susret sa bilo kojim zatvorenikom. Francuzi su ih pitali za svako zaokruženo ime sa spiska koji smo im mi dali. Posebno su se interesovali za trudnicu Radu Lojanicu i ostale žene iz njene ćelije, kao i Dragišu Varagića, kome su pucali u stopalo u toku hapšenja, i Lazara Krstića , koga su naklali sa leđne strane vrata. Muslimani nisu željeli da pričaju o imenima, jedino su rekli da je trudnica juče oslobođena. Navodno da oni ne znaju da li je otišla kod majke u Binježevo ili u Donju Bioču kod muževih roditelja. Kuću su joj odmah na početku maja zapalili.
Trojica Francuza najavili su dolazak na to područje: Međunarodnog crvenog krsta, UNHCR-a, "Ljekara bez granica", stranih novinara i ostalih međunarodnih humanitarnih organizacija, kako su se zvanično predstavljali. Te organizacije su počele dolaziti krajem avgusta, a kontakti sa logorašima su uslijedili tek septembra i oktobra 1992. godine. Obilazak ostalih logora je uslijedio poslije ovog prvog prodora na ovaj dio sarajevske opštine. Predstavnici međunarodne zajednice više nisu imali velikih problema za kretanje na muslimanskim teritorijama.
Medijska blokada
– Za sljedeći odlazak francuskih oficira u Tarčin, predložili su mi da posjete moje roditelje, te, ako želim, da im napišem pismo. Žele da ih vide. Naravno da sam to prihvatio sa velikim zadovoljstvom. Napisao sam pismo na pet stranica i obrazložio im dosta toga, što je bilo za njih novo i sudbonosno. Kada su krenuli do moje kuće, pratilac im je bio Mujo Ibrica , profesionalni policajac, kojeg sam ja poznavao prije rata, a brat mu je završio srednju školu u kojoj sam prethodno radio kao profesor. Mujo je bio čestit policajac, a u ovom ratu je bio profesionalan. Ne znam da li je do njega došao pozdrav od mene u julu 1992. Želio sam da zna gdje sam i da pomogne bilo kome ko se pozove na mene. Za to je bilo razloga! Francuzi su razgovarali sa mojom majkom. Na srpskom jeziku su naučili da kažu "tvoj sin Marko je dobro, on vas pozdravlja". Ona ih je odlično razumjela. Nažalost, pismo joj nisu smjeli predati naočigled muslimanskog prevodioca i policajca. Bojali su se kasnijih problema koje bi mogli imati moji roditelji i komšije. To pismo su zadržali, a ja ga kasnije nisam ni tražio od njih.
Sa francuskim oficirma sam se rjeđe viđao, jer je sada sve išlo po njihovoj dinamici i prioritetima. Još nam je cilj bio napraviti razmjenu iz "Silosa" najugroženijih, kao i civila koji su ostali u kućama. Oni su mahom bili starci. Francuzi su mi rekli da će se to desiti, ali da će to sporo ići.
– Iznenada sam dobio informaciju da je trudnica Rada Lojanica došla u Binježevo. Javio sam francuskim oficirima i oni su tražili da lično razgovaraju sa njom. Otišli smo kod Rade 04. oktobra '92. u Binježevo. Ona je razgovarala sa trojicom Francuza oko dva sata. Ja sam dobar dio tog vremena njih ostavio same. Poslije tog razgovora prevodilac Mirko Lazarević je u autu plakao. Trudnica Rada je bila jako blijeda i iscrpljena. Užasne informacije iz logora su i dalje stizale. Počeli su logoraše voditi na kopanje i teške fizičke radove, za potrebe muslimanske vojske. Svi svjetski mediji pričaju o logorima koje drže Srbi! Niko ne spominje zloglasne logore širom muslimanske Bosne i Hercegovine. Muslimanski mediji najavljuju dolazak preživjelog bivšeg logoraša u nacističkim logorima iz Drugog svjetskog rata i nobelovca Eli Wisela i humanistu Danijela Salvatore Šifera . Njihov cilj je da uđu u logore i da posjete logoraše. Prvo dolaze u Srbiju, a po protokolu će se sresti sa predsjednikom Ćosićem , Miloševićem i patrijahom Pavlom . Poslije Beograda dolaze u Sarajevo. Odlazim u Beograd 23. novembra '92. sa ciljem da svi srpski funkcioneri predvide u dnevnom redu raspravu o logorima i njihovim lokacijama, posebno logora sarajevske regije: "Viktor Bubanj" , "Silos" u Tarčinu, Logor u Čelebićima, itd., kako bi se ovaj bivši logoraš i nobelovac (inače apriorno nesklon Srbima – prim. M. R.) uvjerio šta Srbi trpe i ko drži logore u Bosni i Hercegovini i ko je prvi počeo ovo zlo. Ja prenosim informacije, dajem podatke i kontaktiram 25. novembra sa šefom kabineta predsjednika Ćosića – Momom Radivojevićem . On mi obećava da će predvidjeti u protokolu i tu temu razgovora, zatim Informativni centar vlade Srbije sa dr Prvoslavom Ralićem , koji mi takođe obećava da će to biti jedna od tačaka razgovora, pa sa šefom kabineta Njegove svetosti patrijaha srpskog g. Pavla, prof. Lečićem , koji mi takođe obećava da će učiniti sve i ujedno zahvaljuje za takve informacije pred ovako važan razgovor u ovim teškim vremenima za srpski narod u cjelini.
Vraćam se na Srpsku Ilidžu sa nadom da će se napokon saznati prava istina o muslimanskim logorima prepunih unakaženih Srba. Moja nada je kratko trajala – bivši logoraš Eli Wisel bio je u Beogradu, pa u Sarajevu, gdje je otišao da se slika za televiziju, i to u sarajevski Centralni zatvor, koji je izgledao normalno, sa čistim čaršafima i okupanim "Srbima". O ostalim logorima nije bilo nijedne rečenice, a kamoli o "Silosu" u Tarčinu. Nijedna informacija nije objavljena ni u Beogradu o logorima na sarajevskom području gdje su bili zatvoreni Srbi. Da li su naši tadašnji funkcioneri sugerisali Eli Wiselu da posjeti kasarnu "Viktor Bubanj" i ostale poznate logore, ne zna se?! Za vrijeme njegovog dolaska nezvanično ih je primio general Lewis MacKenzie . Ko zna, možda im je on nešto rekao o logorima u Sarajevu? Ja znam da je on imao tu informaciju. Sa srpske strane još uvijek nema apsolutno nikakvih znakova neke osmišljene kontraakcije koja bi se ofanzivi bjelosvjetskih moćnika i njihovim "razlozima" prometanja bezočnih laži u "istinske istine" suprotstavila. Nažalost, sve moje informacije u Beogradu su bile izlišne.

The Camp in the Silo in Tarčin

May 1992 - January 1996


Tarčin is a suburban settlement, about 25 km from the center of Sarajevo. Tarčin proper, which was the seat of the local community, had about 2,000 inhabitants before the war, of which Serbs accounted for some 10%, Croats for 5% and the rest were Muslims. In the vicinity there were several Serb villages and several mixed villages, but most of the villages were purely Muslim.

In the Second World War, Muslims and Croats from the area of Tarčin belonged to ustashi formations. In that period some 50 Serbs were killed and another 50 taken away to the camp of Jasenovac, never to return.

In August 1992, a reserve militia station was formed in Tarčin. It consisted of about 180-200 Muslims and only 1 or 2 Serbs of their choice. The commander of the station, Tufo Refo, had been a policeman in Sarajevo before war broke out. At the end of 1991 and the beginning of 1992, the reserve militia distributed weapons to the Muslim population in Tarčin.

During the electoral campaign a large number of Muslim nationalistic posters appeared in Tarčin, as well as graffiti of a denigrating nature on the walls of Serb houses. One of them read: "The SDS will wear fezzes".

When the conflicts started in Sarajevo in April 1992, the Muslims put all the Serbs in the area of Tarčin under intensified control and surveillance through the reserve militia of Tarčin.

At the beginning of May 1992, the Muslims suddenly started emptying the silo in the center of Tarčin and distributing the wheat to the population. They emptied some 10 bins containing wheat.

On May 11, 1992, Muslims attacked and took the YPA barracks in Krupa, the commune of Hadžići, about 8 km from Tarčin. They put the captured soldiers in the empty grain bins in the silo. It was then that the silo for grain in Tarčin near Pazarić was transformed into a camp for Serbs.

The first prisoners of this camp were the captured 11 reserve soldiers from the barracks of the former YPA in Zovik and the “Žunovica” barracks in Hadžići.

As of May 20, the Muslims started bringing in Serbs for what they called "informative talks" - after which they took them to the silo and did not release them. At the beginning of June 1992, the incarceration of Serbs from the territories of the local communities of Tarčin and Pazarić in the silo in Tarčin took on massive proportions.

The camp operated throughout the civil war in B&H and the last prisoners left it at the end of January 1996, when the inmates were liberated pursuant to the Dayton Agreement.

It is estimated that about 550 Serbs passed through this camp, among them some ten women of whom two remained in the camp until it was dismantled.

The first commander of the camp was Bećir Hujić and his deputy was Halil Čović. In mid-1994, Hujić was relieved of office and replaced by Čović, an inveterate nationalist, who used to say ironically in front of the prisoners: “Only the silo can save the Serbs” (translator’s note: reference to an old Serb motto: Only accord can save the Serbs). He kept this post until the camp was closed at the end of January 1996.

The camp was under the direct command of the 109th Mountain Brigade of the B&H army led by Nezir Kazić. From 1995 the camp was under the command of the XIVth Division of the army of the so- called B&H, led by Zaim Imamović, who was later killed. The headquarters of these units were located in the immediate vicinity of the camp. Their commanders frequently came to the camp in person and were aware of what was happening in it.

In the compound of the headquarters of the XIVth Division there was a heliport at which Alija Izetbegović often landed. It has not been established whether he actually entered the camp grounds, but he certainly knew what was going on in it. This is confirmed by a piece of information that the inmates got from representatives of the International Red Cross, namely that they had had to see Alija Izetbegović in person so as to obtain permission to visit the camp in Tarčin.

All the cells in this camp were 9.50 x 4.50 meters. Their height was between 5 and 5.50 m and each wall was flanked by a concrete ledge about 50 cm wide. The guards walked along this ledge keeping an eye on the cells and on the corridors also.

The cells had neither windows nor electricity and the only pale light came from the upper level, about 10 m high, where there was a small window under the roof. It could not be seen from the cells.

The prisoners were never taken out of the overcrowded cells but spent the entire day there. They were allowed their first walk only in November 1993, but even that was not on a regular basis. It depended on the mood of the guard on duty.

At the beginning, the inmates received only one meal a day. It consisted of 4-5 spoons of an undefinable, insipid liquid. A group of five inmates would get a small bowl and a single spoon which was never washed and which circulated from cell to cell as the food was distributed. They also got a loaf of bread weighing between 350 and 500 grams (its weight was always different and it was of very poor quality). It was first shared among 9 and later among 12 prisoners, so that each got a very small slice.

The second meal - "breakfast" was introduced only on July 12, 1992. It consisted of a small bowl of milk shared among five inmates, so that each practically got a sip of lumpy powdered milk which could not dissolve in cold water.

On October 14, 1992, Petko Krstić succumbed to the poor food and the consequences of beating. The third meal was introduced after that, on October 19, 1992 and was practically distributed immediately after lunch, as there was no electricity and it could not be meted out in the dark. It consisted of some weak "supplemental food".

Even these minute quantities of food were denied the inmates in June 1992. On one occasion they got no food for three days and on another for two.

The sole prisoners of the camp in Tarčin were Serbs, mainly peasants from the surroundings, young men attending school or younger workers. There were also some intellectuals and a number of elderly men.

All of them were civilians, except for the first ll reserve soldiers. The imprisoned civilians had not taken part in the war nor had been members of any armed formations.

The age of the inmates ranged between 14 and 85. The youngest was Leo Kapetanović, not even 14, and the eldest Vaso Šarenac, born in 1908 and completely senile. He had no sense of either of time or place.

Eleven women, who were in a separate cell, were also incarcerated in the silo.

In mid-1992 the camp was full to capacity and contained about 382 inmates.

The inmates were not taken away to do any work during 1992. It only started in later years.


The Muslim authorities hid the camp in Tarčin from international organizations. It was first visited in mid-November 1992 by a “Sky News” TV crew. They were shown cell No.1 and the prisoners got half a loaf of bread three times that day (“so that they had their fill for the first time”).

The International Red Cross paid its first visit to the camp on November 26, 1992, led by Mark de Perot of Swiss nationality. He was accompanied by a Muslim interpreter who introduced himself to the inmates as Suad from Mostar. Because the interpreter was a Muslim the inmates were afraid to speak openly. After touring the camp, Perot publicly told the inmates that he had visited hundreds of camps in his life, but that he had never seen anything worse than Tarčin.

Thanks to the International Red Cross, as of December 3, 1992 the inmates started getting a lunch package every other day, they got two blankets each, and the water ration was increased to 10 liters per day per cell.

On December 29,1992, 137 prisoners from the camp in Tarčin were transferred to the Krupa camp in Zovik and approximately the same number were transferred from Krupa to Tarčin.

From April 15 to October 10, 1993, a group of 30 inmates was taken away to Hrasnica where they dug trenches night and day on the first lines of battle. In 1995 they also dug trenches at the Jewish Cemetery in Sarajevo and at Stup.

This camp was closed on January 27,1996, pursuant to the Dayton Agreement and under the pressure of international factors.

The former inmates of the camp in Tarčin testify to the events in the camp:

2.1. The witness 407/96, a jurist from Hadžići, who spent a total of 1334 days in this camp states:


“... I was taken to cell no. 7. I was not told why I had been arrested, I got no court decision on my arrest, nor was I interrogated. Only in May 1992 did Enver Dupovac bring the lawyer Seimović from Hadžići, whom he introduced as the military prosecutor under whose jurisdiction we would fall, but I never saw him again.

I got the first beating on June 21, 1992, when an unknown young man in uniform hit me on the nose, knocking me out. When I came to I was lying in the cell and my nose was bleeding.

When I arrived there were four inmates in the cell, but later arrests intensified and new prisoners were brought in, so that on June 15, 1992 there were a total of 37 of us in a cell 42 sq.m. large.

I was allowed my first bath on August 12,1992, after two and a half months of imprisonment, with water from a barrel, and the second one in January 1993.

I was arrested when it was warm, and I was wearing only summer clothes. I could never wash them. We were never taken out of the cells, and they were overcrowded. We were taken out for our first walk in November 1993, but that was not regular and depended on the mood of the guards.

Due to the poor food, which was sometimes denied us, I got pneumonia. When I was taken to the improvised infirmary my temperature was 39.6 degrees Centigrade, and I weighed 34 kg. I weighed 77 kg when I was arrested. Thus I had lost 43 kg in two and a half months. I could not defecate for 37 days and I know of some cases who could not defecate for as many as 52 days. When I had pneumonia I was unconscious. A medical technician administered infusion and this brought me to.

In addition, we were lice-infested, and 20 or more lice would stick to my hand when I passed it through my hair.

The conditions in the camp were such that we all would have certainly died if the International Red Cross had not come to visit us, for the first time on November 26,1992, when I was registered.

One of the things I remember in particular is the mass beating on June 4, 1992. It was Thursday, the Serbian Ascension Day. The camp warden Bećir Hujić came to our cell at about 8.30 a.m. and told us to hand over all the things we had except the clothes on us. He took away the various small articles individuals had kept on them in a bag. He told us that members of the Rijeka corps were paying us a visit. Around noon Enver Dupovac appeared, followed by some 30 uniformed men, including one woman. Some wore uniforms with HOS insignia and others HDZ insignia, some officer’s insignia on their chests such as those worn by the Croatian army. Among them was also a group of Muslims from Sanjak, which I knew from sight, having seen them trafficking in foreign currency in Baščaršija in Sarajevo. They first started insulting us, saying that we Serbs were dirty pigs, that we stank.

Then screams were heard from cell No. 1 where the beating had started. They first gave a Serb a plank and forced him to beat his comrades in the cell. Then they ordered all the inmates to take off their shoes and while they were bent over and kneeling they hit each of them 30 or 40 times on the soles of their feet. Then they beat them with nightsticks on their outstretched hands, and then with electricity cables. The screams and moans coming from the neighboring cells were horrible and it was awful to listen to them.

Finally they came to our cell. Among them I recognized five uniformed young men from Sanjak, who resold foreign currency and who were wearing "green beret" uniforms.

In our cell they first started beating L.K. He was beaten by at least five of them, with rifle butts, their booted feet and he had to spread his arms lying down on the concrete floor and they trod with their booted feet on his fingers and fists. They also beat him with some poles they had brought along. They knocked him to the ground and then a German who did not speak Serbian approached and with a large knife cut him on the nape of the neck letting forth a stream of blood. After that he fainted, although he was an unusually strong man.

Then a big man from Sanjak grabbed me by the hair, pulled me forward and kicked me in the chest. Two others started hitting me on the chest and back with their rifle butts. The German cut the leather jacket I was wearing to shreds with a knife. I got about 10 strong blows before I fainted. I do not know how long I was unconscious.

When I regained consciousness I felt that someone was lying over me. It was M.S. who was unconscious and dripping blood all over my face. When I looked about me I saw an awful scene. Everyone was lying around me unconscious, some were slowly coming to and moaning with pain. All of them were disfigured and bloody. No one could move.

I felt awful pain, I could not stand up, my feet were numb and I barely managed to raise myself to a sitting position.

Only the following day did we recover a bit and could talk and recount what had taken place. We were all swollen up. O.M. could not speak, his teeth had been knocked out, his eyes closed, and nose broken. L.K. was lying in a puddle of blood, surely over 2 liters, his back and chest were black all over and he bled all that day and the next.

A nurse by the name of Mira came only after three or four days had passed. She dressed L.K.’s head. However, she did not come again for more than two weeks so that the wound festered. Maggots appeared in the wound on the nape of his neck. R. took out about 30 maggots from the wound. At about the time when the maggots appeared on his wound they had made him spill a bucket of feces on his head.

At that time they told that same L.K. that his house had been burned. Hidajet šahić told him that. When L.K. asked about his mother, an older woman who had stayed at home, he calmly told him that she had been burned together with the house, adding: "what do you need a mother for, when you don’t have a house".

I could not get up or move for a full 15 days.

After these events which took place on June 4, three of the men from Sanjak continued coming for the following ten days and beating some of us. One of them wore leather gloves with studs, without fingers which he used to beat the inmates. They used to tell us "all this was nothing, just you wait for Juka Prazina to come".

Many Muslims from the surroundings came to the silo for wheat and the camp management and guards let anyone who wanted to beat us come into our cells and do so.

After June 4, 1992 there were no more mass beatings, but we were beaten individually.

They forced us to pray like the Muslims do. This happened whenever a guard felt like it. We all had to kneel down, spread our feet and touch the ground with our foreheads for half an hour at a time. We also had to say "We believe in Allah".

One of the things they made us do, especially the guards Hidajet Sahić and Memišević, was to stand to attention for 4 to five hours until we were completely exhausted. Bećir Hujić once saw individuals fainting and asked who had ordered that. However, it continued.

I was interrogated only once, at the end of July 1992. The report consisted only of half a page and they had written down my answers to some general questions.

Since mid-October 1992, they allowed us to receive packages, weighing 5 kg, once a fortnight. However, this was a privilege only for those from Tarčin, but not for us from Pazarić. The guards took all the nicer things from the packages for themselves.

When the International Red Cross visited us for the second time on December 3, 1992, they told us that we would all be freed and exchanged for the "Manjača” camp, and that the IRC had hired two ships for that purpose, to transport us from Ploče to Zelenika. However, during their third visit, around December 20, Mr. Perot told us that the Serbs had closed Manjača and that only about 100 prisoners from the camp in Zenica had been exchanged. He also told us that our liberation from Tarčin was being prevented by Alija Izetbegović personally...”

2.2. The witness 806/95 33 states:


“... I spent 3 years and five months in the camp in Tarčin and was not taken to court during that time. I did get the indictment, but there was no trial nor did I get a decision on detention. The indictment, which they had given to me, was taken away by the prison authorities before I was exchanged.

Serbs are kept in this camp on no legal grounds, and only a small number of them, about 18, were convicted, but even after having served their sentences they were kept on in the camp.

I was released from the camp on October 21,1995. At that time there were still 130 Serbs imprisoned in the camp, including two women..."

2.3. The witness 109/96 was 21 when he was taken to this camp in 1992. He says:


“... Before the war I lived in a village near Tarčin. On May 30,1992 members of the Muslim army and police raided our village and started searching Serb houses allegedly looking for weapons.

They arrested 38 of us from the village and took us to the culture center in Tarčin where they locked us up and beat us. The beating lasted from 3.00 to 8.00 p.m. that day, and then they took us to the camp in Tarčin.

When I came to the camp there were 108 Serbs imprisoned there.

There were 32 cells in the silo. We slept on the bare concrete floor for two months, and later they gave us wooden pallets.

For the first 45 days we got only one meal a day - a small slice of bread and a little broth which was sour, insipid and thin. Later we got food twice a day. Because of the poor food we were all quite exhausted. The weaker ones started dying of hunger. Six or seven mostly older men, died in that period. The Muslims used to let those on the verge of death go home and these people actually died after a few days. Petko Krstić, 27 years old, from Tarčin died of hunger in the camp. After his death they started giving us food three times a day...”

When I was imprisoned I weighed 78 kg, and when I was released only 45.

"... The rooms in which we were held were very small, and there were a lot of us. It was stuffy. Instead of a toilet we had to use pails in the corners of the rooms in which we slept.

Women were also incarcerated in this camp, I think a total of 15 of them..."


I was registered by the International Red Cross only on November 26, 1992, when the living conditions had improved a bit.

"... I vividly remember an event which took place at the beginning of June 1992, when about 20 Muslim soldiers came to the camp and beat us all up.

After the beating we were all ordered to line up in front of the wall of the cell and from above, from a ledge on which they could walk, they urinated on us.

They forced us to wash our faces with urine from the pail we used for that purpose, and when M.K. refused he was brutally beaten up and even his jawbone was broken.

We were beaten every day. They used to take us out into the corridor and beat us there.

In 1993, a group of 140 inmates from Tarčin was transferred to Krupa to a camp in a military arsenal, and from there sent out to do labour on the first battle lines. The Muslim army used us as a live shield. Twenty-one inmates were killed during forced labour on the frontline.

During my stay in the camp in the silo I was given no oral explanation or written document on the reasons for my arrest. Two days after being imprisoned I made a statement before an investigating judge and after that I received no decision on detention. At the beginning of 1994 I got an indictment and a second one at the beginning of 1995. However, no trial ever took place.

Some of the inmates were taken for trial to the school in Tarčin. There they were tried by a judge from Zenica, called Mladen Veseljak. All were sentenced to 2-3 years of imprisonment. Even after they served their sentences, they were kept on in the camp. During trial they did not have legal counsel or any other form of legal assistance.

During 1994 I and the other inmates were sent out every day to do hard physical labour - fell trees and load them on trucks.

We were forced to build a heliport in front of the camp. A helicopter of the Muslim army once landed there and Alija Izetbegović, Haris Silajdžić and other B&H officials disembarked.

On July 3, 1995 I was taken out of the camp to work near the Gušić hall in Sarajevo, where we dug trenches and bunkers for the Muslim army. We were all tied to a rope on that occasion. I was severely wounded then, hit in both legs, arms and body. I lost my right leg and the left is badly damaged. I was transferred to the military hospital in Sarajevo, where I stayed 100 days after which I was taken back to the silo, again returned to hospital and exchanged on October 29,1995..."

2.4. The witness 44/96 states:


"... I was born in a village near Tarčin, where I completed elementary school. I finished secondary school in Sarajevo, after which I got a job in the institute in Hadžići where I worked until war broke out. I went to work until May 9,1992, when the bus was intercepted by Muslims in Pazarić and returned back to Tarčin. After that I did not go to work any longer and I lived in the village until June 4, 1992, when a Muslim militia patrol took me in, as they said, for interrogation. I was taken to the culture center in Tarčin, where I was interrogated for 5 hours by Refik Tufo, who had been an active policeman before the war. He asked me to tell him about my connexions with members of the Serbian Democratic Party.

From there I was taken to the camp in the silo, put in cell No. 5 which contained 7 or 8 persons, who had been beaten up and were lying on the floor.

Only half an hour later, three Muslim soldiers in uniforms and carrying weapons entered the cell. Among them was "Mineralni" who ordered me to put my hands on the floor and then kicked me in the head with his booted feet.

Then they took me out into the corridor and ordered me to stand in front of the wall with my arms upraised, face to the wall, and they beat me with nightsticks. They beat me for about 20 minutes before taking me back to the cell and ordering me to take off my jeans, shoes and jacket, which they took away.

Only the following morning did I see the state of the inmates in my room. All of them had been beaten and could not even get up and go to the corner to the pail which we used as a toilet.

The guards always found a reason to take us out into the corridor and beat us there. L.K. was brought to our cell one day. He had a knife wound. It had not healed and once they spilled a pail of feces on his wound. They urinated on it. That is why later it got infested with maggots.

We got food once or twice a day, a slice of bread and some sort of insipid soup. My uncle, also imprisoned in Tarčin, once saw soldiers urinating in the soup before they gave it to us. Four or five of us ate that soup from the same bowl.

We slept on the concrete floor. Later they gave us wooden pallets..."

2.5. The witness 858/95-12 stated:


"... After we arrived at the silo camp in June 1992 they ordered us to stand against the wall with arms raised and then the Muslim soldiers beat us viciously. The beating was attended and commanded by the camp warden Bećir Hujić. After the beating they placed us in cell No.6. We were nine in the cell in all. Those whom we found there were disfigured, black and blue, smeared with blood, swollen, unable to move.

The cell was totally dark and we lay there on the bare concrete, with no blanket or mat to lie on.

I remained in this cell for three days and was then transferred to cell No.4.

The guards would not let us move around the cell and we had to lie there on the bare concrete all day long. They would take out two or three men at a time from the room, and sometimes as many as five, after which we could hear horrible screams and wails.

They kept bringing new prisoners in and after ten days or so our number rose to 34.

They took us for interrogations daily. We would be asked whether we had arms while being mercilessly beaten with clubs, kicked and punched. A Muslim soldier would stand behind the prisoner being interrogated and beat him as he was being questioned, and the questioning lasted until they extorted the desired confession from the prisoner or until the prisoner fainted and fell, when he would be taken back to the cell.

In the cell they forced us to observe Muslim religious rites, to kneel and pray and cry aloud "Allahu akbar". After we kowtowed thus they would say that we were no longer Chetniks but Muslims.

In the room in which we were shut there was no lavatory, there was a bucket which we used to relieve ourselves, which was uncovered and the foul stench was unbearable.

It was soldiers whom they called "men from Sanjak" or "yellow ants" that beat us the most viciously. They would usually come to the cells at night and then beat us unconscious.

Once they asked L.K. whether he was thirsty and then ordered him to drink from the bucket full of excrement and finally spilled the contents of the bucket on his head.

The Muslim soldiers would urinate on us as we lay in the cell.

After our arrest we did not get any food for several days and later on we were only given a few spoonfuls each of some non- descript liquid and a tiny piece of bran bread.

With our food we were given some agents which caused dysentery and other stomach diseases. On account of that we would be in excruciating pain and my relative Petko Krstić died of this.

I spent nine and a half months in this cell and never once had a bath throughout that period.

Representatives of the International Red Cross visited us for the first time six months after I had been arrested.

Very often Serb prisoners would be taken out of the camp in groups of five or six never to return. I do not know what became of them, but people said that they had been taken to dig trenches at Hrasnica and other places around Sarajevo and were afterwards killed..."

2.6. The witness 272/96, a construction machinery operator, born in 1953, testified:


“... I had been living in Tarčin with my family since 1975. On June 14, 1992 the Muslim police came to my house and asked me to come with them to give some kind of a statement. There was no statement nor any interrogation, however, for they immediately took me to the silo at Tarčin which had been converted into a camp for Serbs. There I stayed until December 31, 1992, when 140 of us were taken to the Krupa camp at Pazarić where I remained for a year, and then I was in Hrasnica for three months, only to be taken back to the silo at Tarčin where I stayed until January 21, 1996.

Everything which happened in this camp amounted to an ordeal of sheer horror. I remember the moment when I was brought to the silo, when they took me to a cell all covered with blood, probably of some of the previous inmates.

During the first months they tortured us principally by denying us food and water. Thirteen of us would be given a loaf of bread and three ladlefuls of some would-be soup a day. Only one liter of water would be brought daily for 30 of us. I lost 30 kilograms during those first months. In addition we were constantly beaten. There were also other forms of torture and maltreatment, knives would be placed to our throats, or masked soldiers would raid our quarters late in the evening and beat us till the next morning.

They beat an acquaintance of mine, L.K. from Tarčin with a rifle butt on the head causing a wound which was left unattended and became infested with maggots. On July 3, 1995 thirty of us were taken blindfolded to Sarajevo to dig a tunnel. We worked digging the tunnel practically for nine straight days and nights, without any break, rest or sleep.

During the first months five or six people in the silo starved to death. I know for a fact that a total of 35 people lost their lives there. Most of them were killed on the front line of fire where they took us for labour. As regards injuries, I can say that almost no prisoner was spared them. The ribs, teeth, arms and legs of many were broken. They broke two of my ribs.

Representatives of the International Red Cross came and we had separate talks with them. Later we received aid from them in food and relief supplies. However, the Red Cross people would often not come for as long as six months. After talking to representatives of the Red Cross we were maltreated by the camp authorities and would be taken out individually or in groups and beaten so as to tell them what we had told the Red Cross.

I witnessed for myself that many things sent us by the Red Cross were taken personally by Bećir, the camp warden, who was later replaced by Halid Čović...”

2.7. The witness 385/96-3, (female) a technician from the village of Raštelica near Hadžići, born in 1949, who spent 3 years and 8 months in Tarčin, from May 28 1992 to January 26, 1996, testified:


"... Before the war I lived in the village of Raštelica with my husband. In 1990 national parties were formed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. First the HDZ (CDU - Croatian Democratic Union) was formed, followed by the SDS (SDP - Serbian Democratic Party) and in the end the SDA (PDA - Party of Democratic Action). Slogans appeared all around our village saying that that was a Muslim state.


After the SDS was established I joined it and was elected a councillor in the Hadžići commune. I noticed right away that I was placed under constant surveillance by the Muslim-dominated Ministry of the Interior. They kept a close watch on all SDS activities. In January 1992 I heard that there existed a list of Serbs to be arrested and that it also contained my name.

When going to work in Ilidža and on my way home I would be regularly intercepted by patrols of the Ministry of the Interior and searched.

In March 1992 members of the Muslim Territorial Defense mounted machine guns at four points around my house, one on each side. My family was a constant target. It was then that we escaped to the village of Gornja Reštelica where the majority of the population were Serbs. The Muslims raided this village on May 28,1992 and rounded up all Serbs. The campaign was commanded by Refik Tufo from the village of Duranovići, the commune of Hadžići, around 45 years of age.

On that occasion 17 of us villagers, among whom I was the only woman, were taken to Tarčin. There Refik Tufo beat me and called me a Chetnik whore.

When we came to the silo at Tarčin, we found 15 YPA members from the barracks incarcerated there, among others.

As I was the only woman they locked me up in a separate room.

The cells at Tarčin were of rectangular shape, 5 x 10 meters in size and 5 meters high, and had been wheat storages. There were no windows at all; there was only a metal door and an opening in the center of the ceiling.

On June 4, 1992, T.B. was brought to my room. She had been treated at the Jagodnja Mental Hospital until the outbreak of the war when this hospital was closed down and all the patients discharged. She was intercepted by Muslim soldiers on the road to Tarčin who apprehended her and brought her to the camp. After her they also brought L.R., who was pregnant. In August there were 8 of us women in the camp. Among them was also A.B., who was also beaten up and bruised.

The living conditions in this camp were terrible. During the first six months we only received one meal a day consisting of four or five spoonfuls of some vapid broth and a slice of bread. A loaf of bread weighing 600 grams would be shared between eight of us. Sometimes we would get no food at all for two or three days.

The eight of us were given only one blanket and a sponge mat on which only one woman could lie.

We relieved ourselves in a bucket which stood in the corner of the room.

The daily ration of water was a liter and a half for us eight, twice a day. That was barely enough for drinking. We were unable to maintain personal hygiene. Very soon we were all infested with lice.

The first time we women were able to have a bath was only in August 1992, but with cold water.

When I was imprisoned I weighed 90 kilograms and after six months, 58.

On June 4, 1992, a group of around 100 soldiers came to the camp. They were brought by Enver Dupovac, who said that they were volunteers from Rijeka, but we concluded that they were mostly from Sanjak. One of them forced me to bite my own fingers and I had to do it until I drew blood. Then they ordered me to strip naked, which I had to do, and then I stood thus naked in front of them for 20 minutes. Then these soldiers went to the men’s section and there beat the prisoners and maltreated them in other ways.

They did not maltreat me physically but they did maltreat me mentally. They did beat the other women. They beat T.B. with sticks and whatever else was at hand. They also beat M.M. One evening they took M.M. out and when they brought her back half an our later she would not say anything.

We were registered by the Red Cross on November 26, 1992, whereafter they sent us parcels which initially did reach us but later the camp authorities seized them for themselves. Red Cross representatives did not come regularly. Sometimes they would not come for five or six months.

In the beginning of November 1993 a state commission of the government of Bosnia and Herzegovina came to the camp allegedly to look into the conditions of life in the camp, and when I complained to them they replied that the conditions at the camp were quite all right and that we were safer there than outside.

On March 22, 1994, the camp was visited by Ajnadžić, General of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He blackmailed us insisting that we write to our relatives in Hadžići to obtain information on some Muslims, threatening that if we did not comply we would be killed in retaliation.

Alija Izetbegović also came, landing at the heliodrome near our camp three or four times. I personally never saw him, but the guards told me.

I left the camp on January 26,1996, after having spent an uninterrupted three years and eight months there. The camp was disbanded at that time. As far as I know around 560 inmates have passed through this camp. There were women, children and elderly people among them. They were all Serbs except for one Muslim and one Croat who were declared Yugoslavs.

Twenty-four inmates died at the Tarčin camp. Petko Krstić starved to death on October 13, 1992, and a few days after him Bogdan Vujović as well Obren Kapetina also died of hunger. Vaso Šarenac, born in 1908, also died of hunger and emaciation, while Gojko Varagić was taken home by the guards where he also died of hunger and exhaustion. Milenko Milanović died of hunger in hospital, and Zdravko Samouković, 21 years old, died of tuberculosis which he had contracted at the camp. Svetozar Krstić was beaten up by the guards and then discharged to go home where he died shortly thereafter.

Sixteen camp inmates perished while doing forced labour along the front lines of fire. Jadranko Glavaš was bestially beaten and left to die on Mt. Igman by Nedžad Odžić, a member of the voluntary unit led by Zulfikar Ališpaga, called "Zuka".

When four prisoners escaped from the labour detail at Hrasnica, the soldiers shot in retaliation Milan Krstić, Ranko Varagić and a number of other camp inmates whose names elude me now...”

2.8. The witness 385/96-2, a technician, who was incarcerated at Tarčin from May 28, 1992 to January 27, 1996, testified:


“... With another fifteen Serbs I was taken from the village of Gornja Raštelica to Tarčin by members of the police and locked up in the silo.

During the first six months, until I was registered by the International Red Cross, I slept on the bare concrete floor without any blanket or mat.

On Ascension Day, June 4, 1992, we were beaten up by soldiers whom Enver Dupovac had brought to the camp. They would barge into the cells and beat the prisoners with rifle butts, clubs, sticks and whatever else they could lay their hands on. They beat us up so viciously that the walls of the room in which we were locked up were blood-smeared all over.

One of the soldiers forced me to lie prostrate and then he raised both my legs and pounded me on the soles of my feet with a wooden board. He gave me 26 whacks in each foot and already from the pain of the first blow I lost consciousness. Then they also beat up L.K. first with a wooden board on the head and then they cut a gash on his head with a knife; this wound later festered and smelled foul and was infested with maggots. It was only then that they medically attended to him. D.R. was declared to be an alleged sniper and was beaten so hard that they broke his arm. He was beaten by the deputy warden Šera Mešanović.

Alija Izetbegović came to Tarčin three or four times. I personally saw him in 1994 when he was going to the Islamic countries summit. At that time he was escorted by one Memija, the director of Sarajevo television. I saw him from a distance of 30 meters. On another occasion Alija Izetbegović passed by our camp on his way to the Mejina port, where he addressed units going to battle around Goražde. I think that this was in June 1995.

I do not know whether Izetbegović personally came inside the camp but he could have seen us camp inmates through the barbed wire fence from close range.

I was beaten up viciously on June 20, 1992 by Šaban, Miralem Horman and Ibro Fišo. They beat me so hard that I fainted and regained consciousness only an hour later. They told me that they had beaten me up on the orders of Enver Dupovac who was the chief inspector of the republican Ministry of the Interior of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was the one who had organized the mass beating on June 4, 1992 also.

On April 10, 1994, a group of some ten Muslim women and a number of hooded men came to the camp. The guards stood disinterestedly by as they dragged V., M. and myself out of the cell, as they tied our hands and blindfolded us. At one moment I wrested myself away from them and walked up to the warden Bećir Hujić asking for protection, but he only waved his hand. I received a severe blow in the head and fainted. Later I came to locked up in a room with the other two inmates. They told me that it appeared that we had been brought to Pazarić. My head was all swollen and bruised. I asked for medical aid but none was extended me. They kept us there for three days and then returned us to the silo.

Although I was imprisoned already on May 22, 1992, until October 6, 1994 I and the other inmates were not given any official oral or written decision as to the reasons of our incarceration. At that time a court of inquiry judge appeared in the camp and interrogated us.We received decisions extending our detention by a month, and subsequently by another two months. From January to June 1995 I received no decision, and in June I was again served a decision extending my detention by another month.

A group of 17 camp inmates was tried by Judge Mladen Veselica from Zenica. They were given prison sentences between two and three years. Their prison terms had expired by then but, that notwithstanding, they were not released but were kept at the camp. I stood no trial..."

2.9. The witness 872/95-7 stated:


"... I know that four prisoners from the Tarčin camp were killed, two of them at Butmir and two on the front lines at Kotorac.

Among the prisoners killed was one Krstić from Tarčin...”

2.10. The witness 386/96-29, a sales manager, born in 1960, who was in the Tarčin camp from June 2, 1992 until January 27, 1996 when the camp was dismantled, testified:


“... I was born in Tarčin where I lived with my parents.

When on May 11, 1992 the Muslims took the former YPA barracks in Krupa near Pazarić, they started arresting Serbs en masse in the areas of the communes of Tarčin, Pazarići and the surrounding places. The arrested Serbs were placed in a silo located in the center of Tarčin in the immediate vicinity of my house.

The camp for Serbs in Tarčin was established by Refik Tufo from Tarčin, who before the war had been a reserve police corps commanding officer in Tarčin, and from the beginning of the war a police commanding officer in Tarčin.

I was arrested in my home on June 2 and taken to the silo camp. After 20 days my father was also arrested and brought to the silo.

My fate in the Tarčin camp was similar to that of the other camp inmates.

The worst of all was the attrition of the inmates by hunger, so that at a certain point we came to resemble live skeletons. We were practically unable to move and if anyone did make an effort to get up they would as a rule faint.

One of the worst mass beatings of the camp inmates took place on June 4,1992. On that day some allegedly HOS (Croatian Defence Forces) members from Rijeka came to the camp, barged into the cells and beat us up, kicking us with their booted feet, rifles, legs, pounding us with their fists with knuckleguards, hit us with sticks and other objects. Many sustained severe injuries, including myself and I was unable to stand on my two feet for a month and a half after that.

As my house was in the immediate vicinity of the silo, my mother somehow managed to smuggle overnight some food and cigarettes into the camp for us, by bribing some of the guards. This was however discovered in October 1994 so that she too was apprehended and brought to the police station in Tarčin and beaten up. Probably on account of that beating she died on October 30, 1994.

In the meantime, a camp for Serbs had been set up also in the former YPA barracks at Krupa, which was concealed from the International Red Cross. In order to prevent its being discovered, on December 28, 1992 the Muslims transferred about 120 Serb prisoners from Krupa to the silo where the prisoners had already been registered, and transferred from the silo to Krupa 146 prisoners including myself, and I remained in Krupa until January 28, 1993.

From July to October 1992, Petko Krstić, Bogdan Vujević and Vaso Šarenac died in the camp in the silo from the consequences of beating and hunger.

We were forced to observe Muslim religious rites, to bow and pray to Allah, kneeling motionless for as long as two hours, to sing Muslim songs..."

2.11. The witness 344/96-11, who was in this camp from May 26 1992 to January, 27, 1996, testified:


“... I was arrested in the yard in front of my house by Hadem Neradin and Salko Gosta from Tarčin and taken for “an informative interview” where I was interrogated by Rifet Čanatković from Hadžići and Mensur Čović, who before the war had been interrogators of the Ministry of Interior department at Hadžići.

I was first taken to the silo camp and put in cell No.25 in which there were already another three prisoners.

There were a total of twelve cells in which the average number of prisoners was 35. Women were kept in one of the cells.

Immediately upon arrival at the camp we were subjected to brutal physical torture. Individuals would be taken to the camp warden’s office, or out in the corridor or down to the cellar and beaten viciously up and screams and wails could be heard coming from that direction.

On June 4, 1992, early in the morning, the prison warden Bećir Hujić made a tour of the cells and ordered us to tidy them up because some sort of an inspection commission was coming.

Soon thereafter I heard cries, screams, the sound of blows and of boards breaking. At that time there were 15 prisoners in my cell. We huddled up in a corner waiting for the door to our cell to open. After a short while, at least 10 Muslim soldiers entered the cell, who, judging by their accent were from Sanjak, among whom one Tiro, called “Tiki”, from the village of Osenik, near Tarčin, who took the lead in beating up the prisoners.


They singled out three or four prisoners from the room, whom they did not touch but who had to watch the scene. They beat the rest of us with broom handles, police sticks and rifle butts. We fainted from the beating which lasted around two hours. They knocked out two of my teeth, my upper lip was cut and I had severe injuries on the head and body. I remember that someone hit me in the head and I lost consciousness so that I do not know what happened after that.

In the evening they took me to the warden’s office where the deputy warden Šerif Mešanović was. There they tortured me and maltreated me for around four hours. They had me spread my hands on the concrete and hit them with butts. They had me strip to the waist and then they whacked me with a stick on the back until the skin broke and I still have large scars. They hit me with a police club, they doused me in gasoline and took me out with the intention of setting me on fire. However, as we were passing by my cell one of them opened the cell door and showed me inside. I was unable to move for several days and was cared for by the less injured prisoners.

Torture of this kind was daily routine. The guards were particularly vicious when we went to the toilet which was located within the camp compound, when they regularly beat us up.

The guards would order us to kneel and to touch the ground with our foreheads, to pray the Muslim way. They would have us remain in that position for a very long time. They forced some to pour urine on themselves from the bucket which we used to relieve ourselves. They pasted photographs of Ante Pavelić and Maks Luburić on the cell wall and forced us to kiss them.

We also suffered from hunger. The daily ration consisted of a small slice of bread and several spoonfuls of some tasteless would-be broth. We were given a liter or two of drinking water per day for a whole cell, depending on the guard. At the time of my arrest I weighed 95 kgs. and at the end of July 1992 44 kgs. It is a wonder that we were able to move at all resembling live skeletons as we did. It was at that time that Petko Krstić who was in cell No.3 starved to death.

We were constantly exposed to the cold, because the cells were ventilated at all times having previously served as grain bins, so that the temperature was constantly low and we had to lie on bare concrete.


When in September 1993 they returned us to the silo it was slightly more bearable than it had previously been. However, when the guard Jahić came to the silo in the beginning of 1994 the tortures started again and lasted until mid 1995. Šerif Mešanović, who came back to the silo after the shutting down of the Krupa camp also maltreated us at that time.

Towards the end of 1993 a state commission came to the silo and publicly commended the allegedly good conditions in the camp. In the course of 1994 the camp was visited by the Commander of the 1st Corps of the Army of the so-called Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nedžad Ajnardžić. When he asked us whether they were beating us in the camp and we replied that they were not beating us, but that they had beat us before, he openly said that we ought to be beaten.

During my incarceration in this camp I was indicted for allegedly having participated in armed rebellion which indictment, if I remember correctly, was filed against 48 prisoners. However, there was no trial. When we were being released they did not let us take along either the indictment or any other paper.

We were issued no document whatsoever in respect of our time at the camp..."

2.12. The witness 169/96-11, who was in this camp from late May 1992 to January 1, 1993, testified:


"... Living conditions in this camp were beneath any man¢ s dignity. There were 25 to 30 men in every cell.

They tortured us by famine. When I was brought to this camp I weighed 96 kg, and when I was released I weighed only 66 kg.

According to my calculations, I received a total of 2 kg and 100 g of bread and 6 spoonfuls of soup a day during one month. This would-be soup was brought in some sort of bowl at around 15,30 hrs and our group of five inmates ate from the same dish with one spoon which we passed to each other. Only 5 months later did they allow us to receive packages from our families every 15 days. Owing to that, I changed my clothes for the first time in 5 months when I had received the first package and a blanket. When they had brought me to the camp I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, jacket, slacks and summer shoes.

We slept on the bare concrete floor until October 1992, when wooden pallets were brought into our cells. In fact, 8-10 cm wide wooden laths were hammered together forming a lattice-shaped wooden palette. The palette was 1 m wide and 1,20 m long. While lying on them the bottom edge of the palettes lacerated our thighs. Three of us sleeping on one of those wooden pallets had neither a pillow nor a blanket.

Prisoners were taken on a daily basis out of the cells to be interrogated and many returned severely beaten up. Prison guards used to enter our cells and beat us there. Initially they used to come overnight, but later they made a practice of coming during daytime as well. They beat us with rifle butts and kicked us with their booted feet or hit us with truncheons. They also had some sort of cables and beat us with them as well.

Throughout our imprisonment we were forbidden to go out of our cells. Only those who were ordered to dispose of buckets with feces were allowed to leave them. When the International Red Cross had paid its first visit to the camp in November 1992, I stepped out from my cell for the first time.

We were physically abused on a daily basis. Thus I heard N.L. often crying for help. They used to force a boy G. to spread his arms on the concrete floor and then break his fingers with rifle butts.

M. G., 82 years of age, was also incarcerated with us.

Following the arrival of the International Red Cross we were allowed to circle the silo yard three times. We were also permitted to use a toilet located outdoors. However, guards used to beat all prisoners on their way to that toilet.

We were extended no medical care. To maintain the appearances a nurse was occasionally sent to visit prisoners but would not listen to anyone. In our cell was one L.L. who had a wound in the leg but was deprived of medical aid..."

2.13. The witness 718/96-7, who was in the Tarčin camp from June 19, 1992 to October 29, 1995, testified:


“... On July 6, 1995, at around 02.00 hrs, the guards called out my name and the names of 20 other detainees incarcerated in the Tarčin camp. Upon tying our hands and blindfolding us they loaded us on a truck. Guarded by the police we crossed Mt. Igman and stopped at the tunnel entrance located beneath the airfield. They untied our hands and took us blindfolded through the tunnel. While passing through the tunnel they beat us. They beat us most savagely at the exit point at Dobrinja.

Upon exiting the tunnel they loaded us on a refrigerator truck and drove to a kindergarten or school where they locked us in.

That same day Muslims singled out ten of us and drove us to Stup where a fierce battle was in progress. In the course of combat operations Muslims were forced to withdraw from the cement plant.

Muslims brought us to the wall of the cement plant located across the Serb bunkers at a distance of about 20 m. They ordered us to dig two bunkers from the inside of the hall following the edge of that wall. While digging we had handcuffs fastened round our wrists and tied to a metal string enabling the handcuffs locked around our wrists to move freely along that string.

L.V. from our group was forced to walk up to the Serb bunker and take a sack of sand off it although he was exposed to direct mortal danger all the time. Since he was tied he could not escape. V.D. had to do the same. In addition, he was forced to carry explosive to the Serb bunker.

We kept digging for three straight days and nights, without any break.

On July 12, I was brought with others to Stup. We were all tied in the above described manner. In the meantime, Muslims managed to destroy one of the Serb bunkers. On that occasion they ordered me, B.B and V.R. to walk up to the bunker and build a new one with sacks of sand so that they could use it.

While we were building the bunker Muslim and Serb forces joined battle so that we were constantly on the receiving end of the Serb fire due to constant Muslim provocation. On that occasion I was shot with 12 automatic rifle bullets, sustaining wounds in the area of both legs and arms, in the left side of my body and in the lung area. B.B. who was close to me was shot with 17 bullets.

Muslims pulled me out by the metal string to which we were tied.

Following our wounding we were transferred to a hospital in Sarajevo. Since we sustained serious injuries our wounds became infected. Although we were not recovered completely B.B. and I, with our open wounds, were taken back to the silo camp on October 20, 1995.

They used to bring other camp inmates to that cement plant afterwards. Twenty-four camp inmates were thus wounded while Dane Čičić was killed...”

2.14. The witness 718/96-21, who was in this camp from June 1992 to January 19, 1996, testified:


“... At the camp in the silo in Tarčin I was subjected to abuse, maltreatment, degradation and famine, along with all other camp inmates.

As a result of the injuries inflicted by beatings I am in poor health.

Together with a group of camp inmates I was transferred from Tarčin to Krupa, where I remained for 7 months. Thereafter I was returned to Tarčin and after ten days taken back to Krupa again, where I remained for the next 5-6 months.

As a member of the labour unit, in addition to hard physical labour I also dug trenches and ditches on the front-line at Krupa..."

2.15. The witness 718/96-23, who was in this camp from June 1992 to May 1993, testified:


"... On June 1992, the Muslims came to the village and arrested all the men. There were 29 of us, including myself and my two sons. They took us to the camp in the silo in Tarčin.

I was incarcerated together with two of my sons in cell No. 6 which contained 53 arrested Serbs from my village and other villages. We were subjected to appalling physical abuse, famine, most humiliating degradation and insults.

We relieved ourselves in a bucket placed in the cell. On a number of ocassions guards spilled the bucket of feces on us in the cell.

They forced us to beat one another. One of the most humiliating experiences was when they forced some of the inmates to put each other’s member into mouth.

We were also subjected to famine. As a result some of the inmates fainted.

It is difficult to describe all those humiliations and other forms of maltreatment. It felt hard to bear, especially in the presence of my children..."

2.16. The witness 718/96-17, a pensioner, born in 1942, who was in this camp from June 1992 to February 1993, testified:


“... I was taken together with all the arrested men from my village to the camp in the silo in Tarčin on June 21, 1992.

Immediately upon my arrival to the camp I was subjected to severe physical abuse. I was inflicted serious injuries in the head and spinal column area.

Additionally, they used to wear gloves with studs and beat me. As a result I was inflicted injuries in the head. I also had open wounds in the lower end of the spinal column (coccygeal part). Throughout my detention at the camp, they never healed.

In the cell next to mine was incarcerated Vaso Šarenac, 86 years of age, who died as a result of famine. Camp authorities declared that he died as a result of old age. However, I claim that he died as a result of famine. All of us were subjected to starvation so that majority of us fainted due to scarce food we were given..."

2.17. The witness 718/96-12, who was in this camp from June 1992 to January 1993, testified:


"... During my detention at the camp in the silo I was taken for interrogations and accused of being a Chetnik Vojvoda (Duke) and alike. I knew nothing about that whatsoever. I was subjected to physical abuse and beating. As a result I still have visible scars in the legs. Also, I have developed a serious disease.

We were subjected to continuos humiliation, such as urinating of their guards on us. Namely, they would urinate on us from the platform above the cell.

Fifty Serbs were incarcerated in my cell. We relieved ourselves in a bucket placed in the cell. It was taken out to be emptied every 24 hours.

Obren Kapetina from my cell died as a result of torture and famine.

Owing to the efforts of the International Committee of the Red Cross, I was released from the camp in January 1993 with a group of arrested men in Tarčin. They were over sixty years of age...”

2.18. The witness 718/96-13, born in 1961, who was in this camp from June 1992 to May 1993, testified:

"... In late December 1992, I was taken from Tarčin to Krupa where they engaged us to do forced labour - to dig trenches above the village of Gradac.

During the on-going battle I was inflicted a wound in my left leg and lost consciousness. Thereafter they transferred me to the hospital in Suhodol where my leg had to be amputated.

On May 18, 1993, I was discharged from the hospital. However, members of the Muslim police arrested me on that same day, took me to Hrasnica and put me in a dark cellar. After three days they took me out of it to be exchanged.

In the camp in the silo in Tarčin were my closest relatives: my father Lazar Šuvajilo, born in 1921, who spent 7 months in the camp and died a year later and my brother Milenko Šuvajilo, born in 1939, who was released from the camp in 1993 and died a year later. His two sons and my nephews were in that camp as well..."


2.19. The witness 718/96-9, who was in this camp from June 1992 to January 19, 1996, testified:


"... On January 4, 1993, I was transferred with a group of camp inmates from the silo to Mt. Igman. They put us in a shelter of the ¢ Igman¢ hotel which apart from the door had neither windows nor any other sort of exit.

I remained at ¢ Igman¢ hotel until March 20, 1993. Throughout that period we were digging trenches and ditches for Muslims who beat us and abused us on a daily basis. Nedžad Hodžić from Sandžak was the most ruthless among them. He and other soldiers beat us with chair legs, laths and other objects. It was at that time that my kidneys were severely damaged. I urinated blood for two days and I still feel the consequences.

In late January 1993, Nedžad Hodžić singled out Jadranko Glavaš, fastened handcuffs round his writs and took him to the ¢ Mrazište¢ hotel. Hodžić told us the next day that Glavaš had passed away. After cynically expressing his condolences to us, he and several Muslim men and a girl beat us up.

As a result of inflicted wounds I fell ill and unable to do any kind of work whatsoever. This is why they brought me back to the silo camp on March 20, 1993...”

Logorasi ne zele saradnju sa Natasom Kandic

Srna | 19. 02. 2010.

Srpski logoraši ne žele nikakav vid saradnje sa Natašom Kandić i predstavnicima beogradskog Udruženja "Žene u crnom", jer je njihov cilj da se Srbi prikažu kao jedini krivci za rat u bivšoj Jugoslaviji, izjavio je predsednik saveza logoraša Branislav Dukić



Komentarišući današnji regionalni sastanak u Dubrovniku predstavnika udruženja logoraša iz bivših jugoslovenskih republika, Dukić je ocenio da održavanje takvih skupova, između ostalog, ima za cilj da se izvrši pritisak na rukovodstvo Srbije da Skupština usvoji rezoluciju i osudi genocid nad Bošnjacima u Srebrenici.


Dukić je dodao da Savez logoraša Republike Srpske ne podržava inicijativu za osnivanje Regionalne komisije za utvrđivanje činjenica o ratnim dešavanjima i drugim teškim povredama ljudskih prava u bivšoj Jugoslaviji (REKOM), "pogotovo ako se ima na umu činjenica da bi takvu komisiju vodila Nataša Kandić i predstavnice Udruženja `Žene u crnom`".

Predsednik Saveza logoraša RS je istakao da Kandićeva u svojim izveštajima nikada nije pokazala sažaljenje prema srpskim žrtvama u BiH, "a posebno prema 3 500 srpskih žrtava u Srebrenici".





U Dubrovniku sastanak logoraša iz bivše Jugoslavije

U organizaciji zagrebačkog Centra za suočavanja sa prošlošću "Dokumenta",
danas su u Dubrovniku održane regionalne konsultacije logoraša o inicijativi za osnivanje Regionalne komisije za utvrđivanje činjenica o zločinima i drugim oblicima teškog kršenja ljudskih prava u državama nastalim na prostoru
bivše Jugoslavije.

Kako je saopšteno, oko 60 logoraša iz Bosne i Hercegovine, Hrvatske, Srbije, Crne Gore i Kosova, svedočili su danas o različitim oblicima torture i zlostavljanja kojima su bili izloženi u logorima.

Logoraši su naglasili potrebu da se dokumentuju svedočenja žrtava toruture, registruju svi logori i mesta zatočenja, obeleže mesta stradanja, kao i da bivšim logorašima omogući javno svedočenje bivših o vlastitom stradanju, prenosi
Radio Slobodna Evropa.

Hapsenje Zulfikara Alispaga-"Fokus"!

Hapšenje Zulfikara Ališpaga samo zbog sumnje da je počinio krivično djelo ratnog zločina protiv civilnog stanovništva i ratnih zarobljenika hrvatske nacionalnosti predstavlja još jednu opstrukciju prema Srbima, jer postoje dokazi da je Ališpago odgovoran i za stradanje srpskog naroda.

Rekao je ovo za "Fokus" Branisalv Dukić, predsjednik Saveza logoraša RS, te dodao da je opravdano lišavanje slobode Ališpaga zbog sumnje da je počinio zločine nad Hrvatima, ali da treba istaći da su zbog njega stradali i Srbi.

- Ališpago je učestvovao u ubistvu desetina Srba, ne samo u logoru "Silos" nego i na Igmanu. Prilikom kopanja takozvanog tunela spasa, kako ga sad nazivaju Bošnjaci, Ališpago je bio taj koji je određivao koji će logoraši iz "Silosa" kopati tunel. Svima je jasno da je ovo tunel stradanja srpskog naroda - istakao je Dukić, te dodao da postoje dokazi da je Ališpago odgovoran za smrt Jadranka Glavaša u logoru "Silos".

Kako je naglasio, Savezu logoraša nije jasno zašto Tužilaštvo BiH ne podiže optužnicu protiv Ališpaga i zbog zlodjela koje je učinio nad Srbima.

- Tužilaštvo i Sud BiH imaju svu potrebnu dokumentaciju koja pokazuje da je Ališpago jedan od odgovornih za stradanje Srba. Ovu dokumentaciju ima i Međunarodni sud u Hagu, kojem je dokumentacija dostavljena još 2000. godine, a lično smo materijale predali i Karli del Ponte još 2003. godine - objasnio je Dukić. Kako je rekao, pošto je Savez logoraša prekinuo svaki vid saradnje s Tužilaštvom i Sudom BiH, nada se da će Specijalno tužilaštvo Srbije preduzeti određene korake.

Podsjećamo, Sud BiH odredio je jednomjesečni pritvor bivšem komandantu Specijalnog odreda za posebne namjene "Zulfikar" Armije BiH, Zulfikaru Ališpagu zvanom Zuka koji se tereti za ratni zločin protiv civilnog stanovništva i ratnih zarobljenika na području sela Trusina, u opštini Konjic 1993. godine.

Sud BiH donio je rješenje o određivanju pritvora, jer smatra da bi osumnjičeni puštanjem na slobodu mogao uticati na svjedoke, ugroziti opštu bezbjednost i napustiti BiH.
