Perucac lake exhumations preliminary results

In the summer of 2010, lake Perucac was dried up due to turbine repairs. The surface of the lake uncovered dozens of bones of genocide victims from 1992-1995.  Expert teams of the Bosnian Missing Persons Institute(MPI) and the International Commission for Missing Persons(ICMP) spent a period of over three months digging through the soil in search of victim remains. This week the premilinary DNA results have been published.

Summary of MPI report:

-          Almost all the bodies were incomplete.

-          25% of the victims were female.

-          The oldest victims were Imamagic Aisa and Ohranovic Hasida(both born 1906).

-          The youngest victims is Podzic Haris (1988).

-          22% of the victims were over 60 years old.

-          15% of the victims dissapeared in Srebrenica and Zepa in 1995.

-          2 of the victims were Muslim recruits (from Visegrad and Jajce) who where called to serve the Yugoslav Peoples Army in 1991 in Pristina, Kosovo.

-          2 of the victims were victims from the Strpci abduction in  1993.

-          One of the victims was from the Sjeverin abduction in 1992.

-          The total number of victims is 162. 160 of them are Bosniaks and 2 are Serb soldiers who dissapeared at the Gorazde front in 1992.

Otkriven djelić tajni rijeke Drine u jezeru Perućac

 

Preliminarno identificirane 162 osobe

 

Sredinom ovog mjeseca počinje obdukcija nekompletnih posmrtnih ostataka žrtava koje su u ljeto 2010. godine pronađene tokom asanacije jezera Perućac.

Do ovog časa utvrđen je preliminarni identitet 162 osobe, a na temelju izoliranih jedinstvenih DNK profila osnovano se može pretpostaviti da je broj pronađenih žrtava veći od 200.

 

Žene

 

Među pronađenim žrtvama 40 (oko 25 %) su osobe ženskog pola, uključujući tri djevojčice uzrasta od 9,5 do 17,5 godina. Ukupan procenat nestalih osoba ženskog pola na nivou Bosne i Hercegovine je oko 13 %, što znači da je broj pronađenih u jezeru Perućac dvostruko veći od procenta na nivou Bosne i Hercegovine.

Imamagić Aiša i Ohranović Hašida rođene 1906. godine su ujedno i najstarije pronađene žrtve jezera Perućac.

 

Djeca

 

Ukupan broj pronađene djece je 10 (oko 6%), što je takođe dvostruko više od procenta nestalih maloljetnih osoba na nivou cijele zemlje.

Među pronađenom djecom je i troipogodišnji Podžić Haris, rođen 1988. godine koji je ujedno i najmlađa otkrivena žrtva jezera Perućac.

 

Stare osobe

 

Preliminarnom identifikacijom je utvrđeno da je 36 osoba (oko 22%) bilo starije od 60 godina u vrijeme njihovog nestanka, a među njima je 18 žrtava ženskog i 18 žrtava muškog pola.

 

Srebrenica i Žepa

 

Od ukupno 162 osobe njih 24 (oko 15%) su nestali na području Srebrenice i Žepe u julu i avgustu 1995 godine, a preostalih 138 žrtava nestali su tokom 1992. (135 osoba) i 1993. godine (3 osobe). Na području općina Višegrad, Foča, Rudo, Goražde, Rogatica, Priboj i Prijepolje (Republika Srbija), Kovin (Vojvodina) i Priština (Kosovo).

 

Regruti bivše JNA

 

U jezeru Perućac pronađena su i dva regruta bivše JNA koji su u toku 1991. godine upućeni na služenje vojnog roka u Kovina i Prištinu – Ahmetspahić Almas, rođen 17.11.1972. godine iz Višegrada i Meštrovac Ermin rođen 15.02.1973. iz Jajca.

 

Štrpci – otmica iz voza „Lovćen“ 671

 

Dva od 19 putnika voza koji je saobraćao na relaciji Beograd – Bar, koji su oteti na željezničkoj stanici u mjestu Štrpci 27.02.1993. godine pronađeni su u jezeru Perućac. Radi se o državljanima Republike Srbije – Ćorić Rasimu i Republike Crne Gore – Rastoder Jusufu.

Ranije su takođe u jezeru Perućac pronađeni nekompletni ostaci i trećeg putnika Zupčević Halila, dok posmrtni ostaci preostalih 16 putnika još uvijek nisu pronađeni.

Sjeverin – otmica iz autobusa

 

Posmrtni ostaci Hodžić Medredina, jednog od 16 otetih putnika 22.10.1992. godine iz autobusa u mjestu Sjeverin, općina Priboj (Republika Srbija) su takođe pronađeni u Jezeru Perućac.

Nacionalna pripadnost

 

Od 162 preliminarno identificirane žrtve 160 su bošnjačke i 2 srpske nacionalnosti.

 

Reasocijacija ranije ekshumiranih žrtava

 

Dijelovi posmrtnih ostataka 25 žrtava od 162 do sada preliminarno identificiranih žrtava su ekshumirani tokom ranijih asanacija jezera Perućac na lokalitetima sela Kurtalići (2000. godine), Kameničko točilo (2000. godine) i Barimo (2005. godine).

 

Lokacije

 

Žrtve su pronađene na više od 60 mikrolokacija u 30 sela i zaselaka na području općina Višegrad, Rogatica, Srebrenica i Bajina Bašta (Republika Srbija).

 

Rezervni koštani uzorci

 

Laboratorija za DNK analizu u Tuzli još uvijek radi na izolaciji DNK profila iz više od 100 uzetih rezervnih koštanih uzoraka, što će sigurno rezultirati kompletiranjem već identificiranih ili utvrđivanjem novih identiteta žrtava.

 

Identifikacija

 

O terminu konačne identifikacije preliminarno identificiranih žrtava porodice će biti obavještene nakon što se okonča proces obdukcije i DNK analiza.

 

Zahvalnica

 

Institut koristi priliku da se još jedanput zahvali svim volonterima, institucijama i privrednim subjektima bez čije nesebične pomoći pri asanaciji jezera Perućac bi postignuti rezultati bili znatno skromniji.

 

Dodatne informacije

 

Za sve dodatne informacije članovi porodica i zainteresirani se mogu obratiti članu Kolegija direktora gosp. Mašović Amoru putem mobilnog telefona 061-143-144 ili putem telefona 033/715-910.

Human torch
Krsmanovic, according to this indictment, was a member of the 2nd Podrinjska Light Infantry Brigade of the Army of Republika Srpska from 1992 to 1995. He is indicted for crimes against humanity and violating the laws and practices of warfare. The prosecution claims Krsmanovic “perpetrated and aided in the perpetration of murders and enforced disappearances of the non-Serb civilian population of Višegrad”. They will try to prove that he participated in “severe deprivation of physical liberty and other inhumane acts intentionally causing strong bodily and mental pain and suffering” of civilians.
[related-articles]According to this indictment, Krsmanovic on 27 June 1992, together with Lukić and members of his group, imprisoned 70 Bosnian Muslim civilians in the settlement of Bikavac where they were locked in a house and burned alive.

Sjeverin massacre
Krsmanovic was free until May this year even though he was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment in 2003 in Serbia for participating, again with Lukic, in the massacre on 22 October 1992 of 16 Bosnian Muslims from the village of Sjeverin. They were abducted from the village of Mioce, and taken to Vilina Vlas where they were tortured and later executed at the banks of the river Drina.
Krsmanovic may become the first ever person to be sentenced for crimes commited in Vilina Vlas, the place where during 1992 more than 200 girls and women were kept, some of them for more than one month, brutally tortured and repeatedly raped. Some of the victims were as young as 12. According to association Women Victims of War, only four women survived this rape camp.

The lake
The bodies of others have still not been found, but it is believed that some could be identified among bodily remains found this year at the bottom of the Lake of Perucac, near Visegrad.
One of them, A.T. – a protected witness in one of the Visegrad-related cases before the Court of BiH, told this author that she was kept in a room with four other women, kept in handcuffs and gang-raped daily. “They abused us in unspeakable ways. They burned me with cigarettes, cut my body with a knife and ripped flesh from my mouth.
“We couldn’t talk. We just stared into a point in the corner, crayed and completely lost. We didn’t know what time it was. The only time we knew was when they came for us,” she recalled.
Even though survivors spoke about Lukic’s role in establishing and running this camp, he was not indicted by the ICTY for crimes in Vilina Vlas. Years ago, asked by victims’ assosiations why Lukic was not indicted for Vilina Vlas crimes, foremer chief prosecutor in The Hague Carla del Ponte, said that the prosecution could not find enough witnesses to come forward with such evidence.

Detention
Krsmanovic is currently in detention after the State prosecution in Bosnia claimed that some of the potential witnesses in this case had asked for protection because they were afraid of the suspect.
Until his arrest, Krsmanovic lived freely in Visegrad. After his arrest, he said that he had lived in his house in Visegrad and that nobody ever came to look for him until May this year. The association Women Victims of War has repeatedly asked for this arrest over the years.
