Bosnian Serb jailed for 20 years for war crimes
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 15 - 12 - 2006


Bosnia's war crimes court
sentenced Bosnian Serb Dragan Damjanovic to 20 years in prison
on Friday for crimes including murder, torture and rape
committed against Muslims during the country's 1992-95 war, according to Reuters.
Damjanovic, 45, was found guilty on six out of seven counts
of the indictment, the court said in a statement. He is the
ninth person convicted by the war crimes court since its launch
last year and the third this week.
Damjanovic was convicted for torturing and beating prisoners
in two detention camps in the Serb-held Vogosca neighbourhood of
Sarajevo in 1992 and 1993, the statement said.
"The accused used detainees for forced labour and as human
shields and some of them were killed," it said. He also broke,
with two other men, into a Muslim couple's home where he raped
the wife.
Damjanovic was acquitted of the murder of another Muslim
couple, the court said.
The war crimes court sentenced late on Thursday former
Bosnian Croat military commander Nikola Andrun to 13 years in
jail for torture of non-Croat civilians held in a detention camp
in the southern Herzegovina region.
On Wednesday, it sentenced another Bosnian Serb, Nedjo
Samardzic, to 24 years in jail for crimes against Muslims early
in the war in the eastern town of Foca after his original
sentence of 13 years and four month was overturned.
The court was established in 2005 to alleviate some of the
workload from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia. It is taking over low and mid-level cases as the
Hague court winds down by 2010.
About two dozen suspects are being tried or are awaiting
trial at the Bosnian war crimes court.
