Serbia’s War Crimes Court sentenced two men to prison for their role in the deaths of about 700 Bosnian Muslims during the 1992-95 civil war.
Branko Grujic, 66, and Branko Popovic, 61, were in a group that “imprisoned, inhumanely treated and killed around 700 people” in the town of Zvornik near the Serbian-Bosnian border from May to July 1992, according to a copy of the verdict, handed down today. More than 1,600 civilians were forced to leave the Zvornik area, it said. The bodies of 352 victims have been found and identified since the war.
