THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL
FOR THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA
THE PROSECUTOR
OF THE TRIBUNAL
AGAINST
GORAN JELISIC, a/k/a Adolf;
RANKO CESIC;
INDICTMENT
Richard J. Goldstone, Prosecutor of the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, pursuant to his
authority under Article 18 of the Statute of the
International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
("Tribunal Statute"), charges:
1. Beginning on about 30 April 1992, Serb forces from
Bosnia and elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia fought to
obtain control of Brcko, a town and municipality in the
Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the former Yugoslavia.
Serb forces forcibly expelled Croat and Muslim residents
from their homes, and, with the assistance of local Serb
authorities, held them at collection centres, where many
were killed, beaten and otherwise mistreated. Many of the
women, children and elderly were confined at the nearby
village of Brezovo Polje. Most of the men of military age,
and a few women, were taken to Luka camp.
2. From about 7 May 1992 until early July 1992, Serb
forces confined hundreds of Muslim and Croat men, and a few
women, at Luka camp in inhumane conditions and under armed
guard. From about 7 May 1992 until about 21 May 1992,
detainees were systematically killed at Luka. Almost every
day during that time, the accused, often assisted by camp
guards, entered Luka's main hangar where most detainees were
kept, selected detainees for interrogation, beat them and
then often shot and killed them.
3. The accused, often assisted by camp guards, usually shot
detainees at close range in the head or back. Often, the
accused and camp guards forced the detainees who were to be
shot to put their heads on a metal grate that drained into
the Sava River, so that there would be minimal clean-up
after the shootings. The accused and guards then ordered
other detainees to move the bodies to one of two disposal
areas where the bodies were piled until they were later
loaded on trucks and taken to mass graves outside the town
of Brcko or disposed of in other ways.
4. From about 21 May 1992 until early July 1992, the
detainees were subjected to beatings and, less frequently
than before, killings.
5. In early July 1992, the surviving Luka detainees were
transferred to another detention camp at Batkovic.
6. During the time Luka camp operated, the Serb authorities
killed hundreds of Muslim and Croat detainees.
The Accused
7. On about 1 May 1992, Goran JELISIC, who was born on 7
June 1968 in Bijeljina, came to Brcko from Bijeljina, where
he had worked as an agricultural machinery mechanic. During
most of May 1992, Goran JELISIC acted as the commander of
Luka camp and called himself the "Serb Adolf".
8. Ranko CESIC, who was born in 1964 in Drvar, lived in
Brcko before the war. During May and June 1992, he acted
under the apparent authority of the Brcko police, and held a
position of authority at Luka camp.
