Drago Tendžerić, legally sentenced to six months in prison for raising three fingers and showing tattoos with the figures of Chetnik leader Draža Mihailović and Duke Momčilo Đujić on the way to the mass grave “Lanište 1” near Ključ, has been sent to serve his sentence from July 6, Detektor has learned.
The convict was sent a referral document obliging him to report to the Banja Luka Penitentiary to serve a prison sentence of six months, on July 6 of this year, the Basic Court in Gradiška said.
The cantonal court in Bihać sentenced Tendžerić to six months in prison for inciting national, racial and religious hatred, because he provoked the victims by raising three fingers and showing tattoos with the figures of Chetnik leader Draža Mihailović and Duke Momčilo Đujić on the way to the mass grave “Lanište 1” near Ključ.
Tendžerić was finally convicted because on January 21, 2023, in the area of Lanište in Ključ, he stopped a vehicle next to a sign with the inscription “Mass grave of Bosniaks ‘Lanište 1′”, and asked a friend who was with him to take a photo of him next to the indicated mass grave sign.
He then lifted his shirt and turned his back with the tattooed images of war criminals from the Second World War – Draža Mihailović and Momčilo Đujić, as well as the Cyrillic inscription “Freedom or death”, with three fingers of his right hand raised, which, according to the verdict, was used by Serbian soldiers in the last war as a salute during military operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
According to the judgments of the Hague Tribunal, on July 10, 1992, around 200 people were killed in Biljani, who were previously captured and taken from their homes by members of the army and police. Among the victims were women, the elderly and a four-month-old baby. For the crimes in Biljani, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has so far sentenced only Marko Samardžija to seven years in prison, while the court proceedings are being conducted against Jovo Kevac, BIRN reported.
