Indicted
war criminal detained
Dragan Obrenovic, indicted for war crimes by the International
Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY), was detained
by SFOR on 15 April. He has been accused of having committed
war crimes between July and November 1995 while he was
commander of the Zvornik Brigades. These brigades participated
in the notorious Srebrenica massacre of July 1995, that
led to the extermination of thousands of Bosnian Muslim
males. He is also accused of complicity in genocide, crimes
against humanity and grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions
of 1949.
Dragan Obrenovic has been transferred to The Hague where
he will appear before the ICTY. He is one of three wartime
Bosnian Serb leaders indicted for the Srebrenica massacre,
together with Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic.
