“Bosnian Muslim jailed for torturing Croats inside church”
April 30, 2008

SARAJEVO, April 30 (Reuters) -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”Kurtovic...was found guilty because on several occasions during October 1993, he physically and mentally tortured detained Croat civilians and prisoners of war in the Roman Catholic Church of All Saints in Donja Dreznica,” it said.

Bosnian Muslims and Croats entered the 1992-95 war as allies against Bosnian Serbs but then fought their own war in 1993-94, which was ended by a Washington-brokered peace agreement.

Kurtovic beat the detainees with iron bats, crosses and statues of Saints, according to the indictment. He also ordered his subordinates to use detainees as a human shield between the Bosnian Muslim-led army and the Croatian Defence Council (HVO).

“The accused ... forced detainees to eat pages from the Bible and other religious books,” the indictment said.

“On the unknown day in October 1993, the accused and Hasan Delic forced two detained HVO soldiers to perform oral sex,” the indictment said. The two men then allegedly beat one Croat detainee and extinguished cigarette butts on his neck, it added.”
