The witness said that he was then taken to a garage in Bukovica, where he was interrogated, and stayed there for nine days.
“They didn’t give me anything to eat or drink for those nine days,” reads the witness statement read by the prosecutor.
The witness stated that he was physically and mentally abused there on a daily basis, and from there he was taken to the hangars in Usora.
Furthermore, the witness explained that he was released from prison in November 1992 and that he then went home, where he stayed until the spring of 1993, when he received an order for everyone to leave the village, because, as he stated, “they cannot stay on the Serbian land“.
