SARAJEVO, May 16 (FENA) - The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday cleared Mile Puljić, former commander of the Second Battalion of the Croatian Defense Council’s Second Brigade, of committing crimes against humanity in the Mostar area in 1993 and 1994.
Mr. Puljić was acquitted of having allowed his subordinates to take prisoners from the Heliodrom detention facility in Mostar to do forced labor on the front lines and be used as human shields, and of permitting them to participate in forcible disappearances and the beating of detained persons.
He had been charged with involvement in a widespread and systematic attack and with having knowingly and willfully participated, as a co-perpetrator in his capacity as commander of the Second Battalion, in a joint criminal enterprise aimed at expanding the Croat Community of Herzeg-Bosnia, an unrecognized Croat-led wartime statelet.
The verdict can be appealed, BIRN BiH reported.
