Sušica 1992: Women Taken from the Hangar and Sexual Violence for Which a Verdict Was Handed Down
In the summer of 1992, Serb forces held hundreds of Bosniak civilians, among them women, young girls and elderly women, in the Sušica camp near Vlasenica. The Hague Tribunal established that the camp commander Dragan Nikolić took detained women away, or helped in taking them away, knowing that they would be raped, and that he gave others access to them. Nikolić pleaded guilty, among other things to sexual violence, and was sentenced by a final judgment to 20 years in prison.
