Alen Muhić: A Child Born of Wartime Rape Who Knocked on the Door of His Biological Father
Alen Muhić was born in February 1993 as a child of wartime rape; his mother abandoned him immediately after the birth, and he was raised by Muharem and Advija Muhić of Goražde. Radmilo Vuković, whom DNA analysis established as the child's father, was indicted before the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina and convicted at first instance, but in 2008 the Appellate Panel acquitted him with final effect. Alen now speaks publicly about his fate and helps other children born of wartime rape.
