|  | |  | Branislav Medan was a special police force member of the 3rd "Skelani" Platoon. The indictment alleges that, on 12 and 13 July 1995, Branislav Medan and his ten co-accused were deployed along the Bratunac-Milici road between the villages of Kravica and Sandici, Municipality of Bratunac, including a section of the road near the Kravica Farming Cooperative warehouse.
According to the indictment, the accused secured and controlled the said road in accordance with a plan of forcible transfer of around 25,000 Bosniak women, children and elderly persons from the protected area of Srebrenica. According to the charges, on 13 July 1995 they conducted security operations in the form of reconnaissance and attacks using tanks and other weaponry against a column of Bosniaks in the area of Kamenica, thereby forcing Bosniak men to surrender.
On the same day, Branislav Medan and his co-defendants allegedly conducted patrols on the road and set up ambushes to intercept the column of Bosniaks and capture men trying to reach the territory under the control of the Army of Republic of BiH. According to the indictment, the accused detained several thousand captured men in and around Sandici, Municipality of Bratunac. A number of these men were allegedly handed over to Bosnian Serb army soldiers who put them on trucks and transported them in an unknown direction - their whereabouts remain unknown since that time.
The remaining men were transported to different locations including the Kravica Farming Cooperative warehouse.
The indictment further alleges that more than one thousand Bosniak male prisoners were detained in the Kravica Farming Cooperative warehouse. In the early evening hours, these men were allegedly executed.
The prosecution states that Branislav Medan took part in the massacre by firing his machine gun at the prisoners.
Branislav Medan was arrested in August 2005. |  | click for more... |  | Trial Watch would like to remind its users that any person charged by national or international authorities is presumed innocent until proven guilty. |  |  |  | | nationality : | | | Bosnia and herzegovina |  | | date of birth : | | | 24.03.1965 |  | | also known as : | | | Bane |  | | last time seen : | | | Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) |  | | period of charges : | | | 10.07.1995 - 19.07.1995 |  | | judgement period : | | | 09.05.2006 - 29.07.2008 |  | | charges : | | | Genocide |  | | profile last modified : | | | 31.07.2008 |
