Sarajevo – “ A significant number of Serbian inmates, who were held in Zenica Penitentiary by Bosnian Muslim forces, were burned in furnaces of Zenica Ironworks,” states the report of the Mission of the Conference for Security and Cooperation of Europe (CSCE) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, September 1992.
The documents proving monstrous crimes against Serbs was handed over to Prosecutor’s office by FBiH Vice President Mirsad Kebo along with thousands of other evidence of monstrous crimes committed against Serbian population of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The five – pavilion camp for Serbs in Zenica existed from 1992, until the end of the war. The report of the CSCE, among other things, states that at the time of the Mission there were about 2000 imprisoned Serbs.
The main task of the European mission was to observe the situation in terms of human rights in prisons, concentration camps and detention centres throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. The mission of the CSCE states that they were not able to visit all the camps but only some of them, and after what they saw ‘they believe that the camp authorities have bad treatment of prisoners.’
– We witnessed beating, we saw the wounds, fractures and other injuries of prisoners. We believe that many of them were brutally murdered. The prisoners we spoke to were scared and often refused to give us a detailed description of the crimes, but many still gave signals of what they’we been subject to – the report says.
The report was submitted to the headquarters of the CSCE in Prague. The Mission was led by Englishman John Thomson and his assistants were US Ambassador Kenneth Blackwell and a group of internationally recognized experts in the fields of law, medicine and politics.
In 2015, the report was a part of evidence related to war crimes against Serbs submitted by Mirsad Kebo, Vice President of the Federation and it’s believed it will result in expand of the list of those responsible for the atrocities against Serbs in Bosnia.
