Vojno camp was a detention camp set up by the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) from June
1993 to March 1994, to detain tens of thousands of Bosniaks in the Mostar municipality.
Bosniaks in the camp were subject to killings, mistreatment, rapes, detention and
murders.[1][2][3][4]

The camp
Conditions at Vojno Camp were harsh and unhealthy, with overcrowding, insufficient food
and water, poor ventilation, insufficient bedding and inadequate sanitation facilities.[5][6]

The HVO physically and mentally abused Bosniak men detained at the Vojno Camp on a
daily basis. Herceg-Bosna/HVO forces killed at least thirteen Bosniak men while they were
detained at Vojno Camp and injured many others. The HVO forces routinely beat Bosniak
men with fists, feet, rubber batons and various wooden objects. Bosniak men were subjected
to electrical shocks, often forced to beat each other and otherwise abused and humiliated.
Bosniak detainees were forced to witness the summary execution of other detainees.
Detainees were often subjected to particularly severe mistreatment in retaliation for ABiH
military successes.[5][6]

Bosniak men detained at Vojno Camp, together with Bosniak men detained at the Heliodrom
(who were often sent to Vojno Camp on a seven-day rotation) were used in forced labour in
the Vojno area. The forced labour included building military fortifications, digging trenches,
carrying ammunition to HVO soldiers, and retrieving killed and injured HVO soldiers, often
along the confrontation line and in the midst of combat conditions. Bosniak men engaged in
such labour were regularly exposed to mortar, sniper and other small arms fire, and at least
thirty-nine Bosniak men were killed or wounded.[5][6]

The HVO detained approximately fifty civilian Bosniak women and girls (together with their
small children) at Vojno Camp, from approximately June to December 1993. The Bosniak
women and others were held without any genuine or bona fide effort by the HVO to
determine their status or distinguish military detainees from civilians. Neither did the HVO
provide for the civilians release or transfer to a safe location.[5][6]

HVO soldiers repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted approximately fifty civilian Bosniak
women and girls detained at Vojno Camp.[7] Such episodes of sexual assault were often
preceded or accompanied by beatings or threats that non-compliance would result in the
woman's child (or children) being killed.[5][6]

Bosniak children detained at the Vojno Camp were regularly exposed to cruel treatment,
hunger and separation from their mothers, resulting in physical suffering and trauma to these,
some of the younger victims of the Herceg-Bosna/HVO persecution and cleansing.[5][6]

Recent Developments
Marko Radi, Dragan unji, Damir Brekalo and Mirko Vraevi were found guilty of having
participated, as members of the Croatian Defence Council in the killings, mistreatments,
rapes, detention and murders of the detained Bosniaks. The court sentenced Marko Radi to
25 years in prison, Dragan unji to 21 years, Damir Brekalo to 20 and Mirko Vraevi to
14.[8][1][2][6]

The highest-ranking surviving leaders Jadranko Prli, Bruno Stoji, Slobodan Praljak, Milivoj
Petkovi, Valentin Cori, Berislav Pui were charged with crimes against humanity, grave
breaches of the Geneva Conventions and violations of the laws of war.[3][5][9]
