Milan Lukić

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Milan Lukić

Milan Lukić (Serbian Cyrillic: Милан Лукић) (born September 6, 1967 in Foča, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia) is a former head of the Serb paramilitary group known as White Eagles (Beli Orlovi) who was found guilty by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in July 2009 of crimes against humanity and violations of war customs committed in the Višegrad municipality of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian war and sentenced to life in prison.[1] The crimes of which Lukić was convicted include murder, torture, assault, looting, destruction of property and the killing of at least 132 identified men, women and children.[1] Lukić's cousin Sredoje Lukić, and a close family friend Mitar Vasiljević were also convicted by the ICTY and sentenced to 30 years and 15 years in prison for their part in many of Milan Lukić's crimes.[1][2]

Among the most notable crimes in and around Višegrad for which Lukić and the unit under his command were responsible were the Pionirska street fire and the Bikavac fire which, it was observed by the ICTY Trial Chamber, exemplified the worst acts of inhumanity that a person may inflict upon others and "ranked high in the long, sad and wretched history of man’s inhumanity to man".[3] Lukić was only the second individual to be sentenced by the Tribunal to life imprisonment.[1]

Lukić was also responsible for the Sjeverin massacre and the Štrpci massacre, incidents in which non-Serb citizens of Serbia and Montenegro were abducted and then murdered on Bosnian territory. The failure of the Serbian authorities to conduct an adequate investigation remains a significant political issue in Serbia.[4][5]

It continues to be questioned whether Lukić's unit were acting as paramilitaries or were in fact part of the Republika Srpska Army's Višegrad Brigade.[6][7][8][9] In a 1992 interview with the Belgrade magazine Duga, in which he confessed to some of his crimes, Lukić said, "I don't have a guilty conscience over any of them."[10]

Background

Višegrad is one of several towns along the Drina River in close proximity to the Serbian border (then Yugoslavia). According to the 1991 census before the Bosnian war the municipality had a population of 21,199: 62.8% of Bosniak ethnicity, 32.8% Serb and 4.4% classified as others.

The town was strategically important during the conflict. The Drina valley's proximity to the Serbian border made it a key element in Serbian plans to establish the client state of Republika Srpska. A hydroelectric dam near to the town provided electricity and also controlled the level of the Drina River, preventing flooding in areas downstream. Višegrad is also situated on the main road connecting Belgrade and Užice in Serbia with Goražde and Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a vital link for the Užice Corps of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) with its base camp in Uzamnica as well as other strategic locations implicated in the conflict.

On 6 April 1992, in a pattern repeated elsewhere in the initial stages of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, JNA units began an artillery bombardment of the town, in particular Bosniak neighbourhoods and nearby Bosniak villages. A group of Bosniak men took several local Serbs hostage and seized control of the hydroelectric dam, threatening to blow it up. One of the men released water from the dam causing flooding to some houses and streets.

Eventually on 12 April 1992, JNA commandos seized the dam. The next day the Užice Corps of the JNA from Užice took control of Višegrad, positioning tanks and heavy artillery around the town. The population that had fled the town during the crisis returned and the climate in the town remained relatively calm and stable during the later part of April and the first two weeks of May.

Crimes during the Bosnian war

Višegrad massacres

Main article: Višegrad massacres

On 19 May 1992 the JNA Užice Corps officially withdrew from the town and local Serb leaders established the Serbian Municipality of Višegrad, taking control of all municipal government offices. Soon after, local Serbs, police and paramilitaries began one of the most notorious campaigns of ethnic cleansing in the conflict, designed to permanently rid the town of its Bosniak population.

Serb forces attacked and destroyed a number of Bosniak villages. A large number of Bosniak civilians in the town of Višegrad were killed. The Drina River was used to dump many of the bodies of the Bosniak men, women and children who were killed around the town and on the historic Turkish bridge crossing the Drina. Serb forces were implicated in the systematic looting and destruction of Bosniak homes and villages. Both of the town’s mosques were completely destroyed.

Many of the Bosniaks who were not immediately killed were detained at various locations in the town, as well as the former JNA military barracks at Uzamnica (5 kilometres outside of Višegrad), the Vilina Vlas Hotel and other detention sites in the area. Those detained at Uzamnica were subjected to inhumane conditions, including regular beatings, torture by Bosnian Serbs and strenuous forced labour.

Ethnic cleansing was carried out on orders from the Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and the military commander General Ratko Mladic and as elsewhere in Bosnia, persecution and mass murder was overseen by a local Bosnian Serb "Crisis Committee", under the presidency of Branimir Savović. However the atrocities bore the hallmark - directly or indirectly - of one man above all, Milan Lukić.[11]

Milan Lukić returned to Višegrad in 1992 after working abroad for a time before the war in Germany and Switzerland.[12] He said he returned from Zurich when the fighting began in Visegrad to join a unit organised by his cousin Sredoje and Niko Vujacic.[10] He was responsible for organising a group of local paramilitaries referred to variously as the White Eagles, the Avengers or the Wolves, with ties to the Višegrad police and Serb military units. This group committed numerous crimes in the Višegrad municipality including murder, rape, torture, beatings, looting and destruction of property, and played a prominent role in the ethnic cleansing of the town and surrounding area of its Bosniak inhabitants.

These crimes included two particular crimes of which it was observed by the ICTY Trial Chamber in the summary of its conclusions in the Lukić cousins' trial that "The Pionirska street fire and the Bikavac fire exemplify the worst acts of inhumanity that a person may inflict upon others."[3]

It has been remarked that much of the violence in Yugoslavia was carried out by small bands of opportunistic groups of thugs and criminals operating within a framework of nationalism rather than viscerally motivated by it. Višegrad was substantially controlled for years by Milan Lukic and some 15 well-armed companions. Using violent and often sadistic intimidation this "tiny band" was able to force the 14,500 Muslims in the town to leave and suppress any expressions of dissent from local Serbs, many of whom took advantage of the situation.[13]

Sjeverin massacre

Main article: Sjeverin massacre

On the morning of 22 October 1992, a bus traveling from Priboj in the Sandžak area of Serbia to Rudo, Bosnia, was stopped in the Bosnian village of Mioče by four members of the Osvetnici (Avengers) paramilitary unit under the command of Milan Lukić. The other members of the group were Oliver Krsmanović, Dragutin Dragicević and Djordje Sević.[14]

16 Bosniak passengers from Sjeverin - 15 men and one woman,[14] all Yugoslavian and Serbian citizens - were taken off the bus and forced onto a truck. They were taken to Višegrad, which was under the control of the Bosnian Serb Army, to the Vilina Vlas hotel. The hostages were severely beaten and tortured inside the hotel and then taken to the edge of the Drina River where they were executed.[15]

Shortly after the abduction, Lukić was stopped by Serbian police when driving through Sjeverin and found in possession of weapons and forging personal documents. He was charged, but released from custody. In October 2002, after the fall of Milosević, indictments were issued against Milan Lukić and others. Witness protection proved problematic in the trial.[16] On 29 September 2003 Dragićević, Krsmanović and Lukić were found guilty of the torture and murder of the abductees, Krsmanović and Lukić in absentia.[17]

Štrpci massacre

Main article: Štrpci massacre

On 27 February 1993 members of the Serbian “Avengers” (“Osvetnici”) military unit, commanded by Milan Lukic, abducted a group of 19 non-Serb citizens of the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro (18 Bosniaks and one Croat) from the Belgrade-Bar train at Štrpci station near Priboj. The abductees were robbed and physically abused, then tortured and killed in the garage of a burned-out house in the village of Visegradska banja, near Visegrad, close to the river Drina. Their remains have not been found.[18]

At the trial of Nebojsa Ranisavljevic, the only suspect convicted for the crime, the Commander of the Visegrad brigade of the Republika Srpska Army (RSA) Luka Dragicevic admitted that the “Avengers” unit were part of these armed forces. Dragicevic transferred after the war to a position in the FRY Army. Police and judicial officials in Serbia are alleged to have obstructed court proceedings against Milan Lukic.[18]

Impunity

During the war

Immediately following the abductions the local people in Sjeverin were subjected to further intimidation by Milan Lukić. In the absence of effective action by the Serbian authorities the remaining Bosniak inhabitants of Sjeverin fled to Priboj.[19]

Four days after the abductions Serbian police stopped Milan Lukić driving through Sjeverin. Lukić produced a forged ID and driver's licence, issued by the Visegrad police. The police also found weapons and ammunition in the car. Lukić and Dragutin Dragicević were charged with illegal possession of weapons and forging personal documents.[19]

After a visit to the area by Radmilo Bogdanovic, president of the Defense and Security Committee of the Yugoslav Parliament's Chamber of Citizens, an influential figure in Serbian police circles, Lukić and Dragicević were released from custody on grounds that lacked transparency.[19]

Milan Lukić was arrested by the Serbian police in 1993 on suspicion of having murdered a resident of Visegrad on Serbian territory.[19] In 1994 he was again arrested on suspicion of being the commander of the group that abducted a group of mainly Bosnian Muslim passengers from the Belgrade-Bar train at Štrpci station and then killed them.[19][20] Each time the investigation was stopped and Lukić was released.[19]

One suggested explanation for the Sjeverin abduction is that the abductees were intended to be exchanged for twenty-eight Serb soldiers and civilians captured by the Bosnian Army and the abductees were murdered after the exchange was refused.[21] Another is that it was aimed at intimidating the Sandžak Muslims as part of a plan to carry out ethnic cleansing of the frontier area bordering Republika Srpska.[21]

After Nebojsa Ranisavlejevic was convicted in September 2002 of taking part in the Štrpci abductions and killings Amnesty International raised concerns about the fairness of his trial and claimed that evidence suggested that these crimes had also been committed by the Avengers paramilitary group with the knowledge, and possible complicity, of the Serbian and Federal Republic of Yugoslavia authorities.[20]

Post-war

After the war, Lukić is alleged to have become involved in a variety of criminal rackets operating across the porous border between Serbia and Republika Srpska.[22]

In 1998 ICTY prosecutors charged him with 11 counts of crimes against humanity and nine other counts of violations of the laws or customs of war.[22]

For a long time he lived quite openly and was often seen around Višegrad and in Serbia, where he owned an apartment in Belgrade.[22] The Bosnian Serb and Serbian authorities took no action to hand Lukić over to the ICTY, as extradiction was against constitution at the time. However, he was repeatedly charged with racketeering and other organised crime offences and arrested three times by Serbian police during the 1990s on charges including illegal possession of firearms, forging of documents and the murder of a Serb from Višegrad who had helped Bosnian Muslims flee the town.[22] Each time he was released.[22]

Lukić was linked to Radovan Karadžić as part of a drug-smuggling ring connected to Karadžić's business network whose profits funded the "Preventiva" network that protected Karadžić and provided Lukić with cover.[22] Lukić's cousin and patron, Sreten Lukić, deputy interior minister of Serbia, in charge of the Serbian police, also helped protect him.

In October 2002, after the fall of Milosević, the Office of the Public Prosecutor in Belgrade issued indictments against Lukić, Dragutin Dragicević, Oliver Krsmanović, Djordje Sević and five other persons on charges relating to the Sjeverin massacre.

In early 2003, Lukić quarreled with the Preventiva and he was left more vulnerable after Sretan Lukić's indictment by the ICTY his removal from office in Serbia and deportation to The Hague.[22]

In 2003 an ICTY official confirmed that Lukic had been discussing the possibility of surrender for several years and contacts with The Hague intensified as the relationship with Karadzic deteriorated. However an attempt to set up a meeting between Lukic and representatives of the ICTY in April 2004 culminated in Milan's brother Novica Lukic being shot dead during a raid on the Lukic family home in Visegrad by Republika Srpska Interior Ministry special forces.[22]

Trial in absentia for the Sjeverin massacre

On 29 September 2003 Dragutin Dragićević, Oliver Krsmanović and Milan Lukić were found guilty of the torture and murder of the abductees and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment (the latter two in absentia) while Đorđe Šević was sentenced to 15 years.[17][22][23][23]

Witness protection proved problematic in the trial.[16] The convictions were the first secured following the appointment of a Serbian special war crimes prosecutor in July 2003.[23]

Disappearance

In January 2004, Lukić quarreled with Karadžić’s armed body guards and was reportedly injured in a shootout over his share of the proceeds from a particular drugs shipment. By the time a report was published in April 2004 by Institute for War and Peace Reporting and Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (IWPR/BIRN) linking him to Radovan Karadžić, Lukić had vanished.

In April 2005, in a letter e-mailed to Bosnian and Serbian media outlets apparently written by Lukic, the author called for his superiors, the top police, military and political leaders from Visegrad, to be held to account for crimes committed under their command.[22]

In the e-mail, traced to a server in Brazil, Lukić denied that he was a traitor to Karadžić, as his former superiors were claiming in what he claimed was a "shameless and unscrupulous lie". He declared that "Mladić has always been and will remain the true hero and idol, and Karadžić, the leader of my people".[11]

Arrest and transfer to The Hague for trial

In August 2005 Lukic was arrested in Argentina, in Buenos Aires. He told the Argentinian judges that he had been in Brazil and admitted entering Argentina on a false passport in the name of Goran Djukanovic. He claimed to have been preparing to surrender to The Hague, implying that this was for his own safety. He said that he feared people on his own side, "Karadzic's people". He told the court: "I know lots of things happened during the war, and I was afraid that they would kill me because there are many who do not want it known what happened. As the saying goes: better to be a tongue without a voice."[11]

He was returned to The Hague and on February 24, 2006 he made his initial appearance before the Tribunal and pleaded not guilty to twelve counts of crimes against humanity (persecution, murder [5 counts], inhumane acts [4 counts], extermination [2 counts]) and nine counts of violations of the laws or customs of war (murder [5 counts], cruel treatment [4 counts]).

A request by the Prosecution to have Lukić's case referred to the national authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina was ultimately denied by the Appeals Chamber of the ICTY. On Friday 20 July 2007, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) decided to revoke the referral of the Sredoje Lukić case to Bosnia and Herzegovina, clearing the way for it to be tried jointly in The Hague with the case of Milan Lukić. The Lukićs' co-indictee Mitar Vasiljević had already been convicted and sentenced for his part in crimes committed in association with Lukić.

ICTY trial and conviction

Milan Lukić was charged on the basis of individual criminal responsibility (Article 7(1) of the Statute of the Tribunal) with:[1]

  • Persecutions on political, racial and religious grounds; murder; inhumane acts; and extermination (crimes against humanity, Article 5)
  • Murder; and cruel treatment (violations of laws or customs of war, Article 3)

On 20 July 2009 judgment was handed down in Case IT-98-32 against Milan Lukić and Sredoje Lukić by the International Criminal Tribunal's Trial Chamber III, judges Patrick Robinson (Presiding), Christine Van Den Wyngaert and Pedro David.[1]

The Trial Chamber found Milan Lukić guilty on all charges, convicting him, on the basis of individual criminal responsibility (Article 7 (1) of the Statute of the Tribunal), of:[1]

  • Persecutions on political, racial and religious grounds (crimes against humanity, Article 5);
  • Murder (crimes against humanity, Article 5);
  • Murder (violations of the laws and customs of war, Article 3);
  • Inhumane acts (crimes against humanity, Article 5);
  • Cruel treatment (violations of the laws and customs of war, Article 3);

The Chamber, by majority, Judge Van den Wyngaert dissenting, also convicted Milan Lukić of:

  • Extermination (crimes against humanity, Article 5)

The specific crimes, committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Bosnian Muslim civilians of the municipality of Visegrad and its surrounding area, included the following:[24]

  • Milan Lukić led seven Bosnian Muslim men to a site on the bank of the River Drina, near Višegrad, forced them to line up along the bank, and then shot them, killing five of the men.
  • He forced seven Bosnian Muslim men from the Varda sawmill and furniture factory in Višegrad to go to the bank of the River Drina, and then shot them repeatedly, killing all seven men.
  • He murdered approximately 70 Bosnian Muslim women, children and elderly men in a house on Pionirska Street in Višegrad by barricading the victims in one room of the house, setting the house on fire and then firing automatic weapons at those people who tried to escape through the windows, killing some and injuring others.
  • He murdered approximately 70 Bosnian Muslim women, children and elderly men in a house in the village of Bikavac, near Višegrad, by forcing the victims into the house, barricading all the exits and throwing in several explosive devices.
  • He brutally murdered a Bosnian Muslim woman in the Potok neighbourhood of Višegrad.
  • He beat, on multiple occasions, Bosnian Muslim men who were detained in the detention camp at the Uzamnica military barracks in Višegrad.

Milan Lukić was sentenced to life imprisonment. Sredoje Lukić was found guilty of crimes including aiding and abetting the murders at Pionirska Street and was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment.[1]

During the reading of the Lukić cousins' verdict, Judge Patrick Robinson said there had been "many pieces of evidence pertaining to other crimes which include rape", however, since the Lukić cousins were not indicted for those crimes, "the Chamber did not determine their guilt for them".[25]

The Association of Women Victims of War, representing Višegrad rape victims, has expressed anger at the ICTY's failure to prosecute Milan Lukić for rape and rapes committed under his authority. The head of the Association Bakira Hasečić, who has described how she herself was raped at knifepoint by Lukić in a basement of the Višegrad police station, considers that rape victims were let down by the failure of the ICTY to charge Milan or Sredoje Lukić with rape or sexual abuse.[26]

The Vilina Vlas spa hotel on the outskirts of Višegrad was used as a rape camp while it was also, on Lukić 's own admission, his unit's command post. One woman stated that Lukić raped her several times while she was one of a reported 200 women held in the Vilina Vlas spa hotel. This was after he had earlier raped her in her own home, slaughtered her 16-year old son with a knife and then raped her again in the garden.[26]

She believed that only a handful of the women survived the camp as most were killed or took their own lives. She told Balkan Insight she saw one suicide herself, when a girl jumped from a second-floor room through a glass balcony. The Association of Women Victims of War believes that fewer than ten women prisoners survived.[26]

International human rights organisations and refugees had reported on the atrocities in the town back in 1992. As survivors fled, reports of rape and sexual abuse of women led Amnesty International to publish an extensive report on rape in Bosnia and Herzegovina, mentioning Višegrad as a prime example, and a 1994 UN report on rape in Bosnia and Herzegovina specifically identified Vilina Vlas as one of the locations where the rapes occurred.[26][27][28]

(Although rape was systematic in Višegrad in the early months of the war it was not until June 2008 that the first trial of one of the Višegrad rapists took place before the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[29] Zeljko Lelek, charged with crimes against humanity including murders, deportation, forcible detention and rape committed jointly with the Beli Orlovi group,[30] has since been found guilty of rape at Vilina Vlas and other crimes alongside Milan Lukić.[31][32])

Alexandra Stiglmayer, author of "Mass Rape: The war against women in Bosnia and Herzegovina", about a book on women rape victims in Bosnia and Herzegovina, gave all her material relating to rapes in Višegrad to an investigator from the ICTY who asked if she would be willing to testify about it in court but was never asked to do so by the Tribunal.[26]

In 1996 The Guardian published extracts from the confession made by a Serb soldier called Mitar Obradović alleging that Lukić had raped many women in Višegrad and encouraged his troops to do the same.[26]

The ICTY's initial joint indictment against Milan and Sredoje Lukić and Mitar Vasiljević stated that Vilina Vlas had been used to incarcerate prisoners who were tortured, beaten up and sexually abused, though none of the original 20 counts specifically mentioned rape. Witnesses at Mitar Vasiljević's subsequent separate trial spoke about the mass rapes that had occurred in Višegrad. Vasiljević himself told the Tribunal how he had heard that Milan Lukić raped, robbed and murdered many of his victims, including a number of girls Lukić raped after capturing the village of Musici.[26]

The trial judges who found Vasiljević guilty stated that they believed Vilina Vlas was under Lukić's command in 1992 and in an interview with Belgrade's Duga magazine in 1992, Lukić himself confirmed that he headed a unit based at Vilina Vlas.[26]

Bakira Hasečić challenged the Chief Prosecutor Carla del Ponte's assertion that the prosecution did not have evidence for such charges when it drew up the indictment as no witnesseses would come forward, saying that she and other women made statements to officials that were available to Hague investigators.[26]

Del Ponte's special advisor and spokesperson Anton Nikiforov acknowledged that there was plenty of information about the rapes that took place in Višegrad but said that tribunal prosecutors had been "unable to reach the witnesses" before the indictments were completed. Del Ponte suggested that the Tribunal might transfer the Lukićs' case to the War Crimes Chamber in Sarajevo and urged Association of Women Victims of War to work with state prosecutors to have the indictments changed there.[26]

The UN's "completion strategy" for the tribunal ruled out prosecutors bringing new charges or amending existing ones unless a case was transferred to local courts elsewhere.[26]

Eventually, on 12 June 2008, less than a month before the trial started, the Prosecution filed a motion for a new indictment, adding rape and sexual slavery to the charges. The proposed new indictment charged the cousins with involvement, individually or together with others, in planning and/or the abetting of rape, keeping in slavery and torture of persons in detention centres and other locations in Višegrad town and its vicinity.[32]

One day before the start of the trial, the Trial Chamber rejected the Prosecution's submission, ruling that such an amendment to the indictment would prejudice the right of the accused to have enough time to mount a defence.[32]

Confession of a Hague Prisoner

On 29 July 2011, the parish house of the Cathedral of Saint Sava in Belgrade hosted an event to promote the launch of Milan Lukić's book the Confession of a Hague Prisoner (Ispovest haškog sužnja) and was attended by several priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church and by many of Lukić's supporters. The Humanitarian Law Center in Belgrade responded and urged that the "institutions and citizens of the Republic of Serbia to condemn publicly the use of the Parish House of the Cathedral of Saint Sava in Belgrade for the launch of a book by the convicted war criminal Milan Lukić during which priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church took part in the eulogisation of a war criminal responsible for some of the most terrible crimes against humanity." The Humanitarian Law Center also demanded "that the Patriarch reveal the names of the priests who took part in this public event and explain to the public why a religious building whose construction was paid for by the state and many individual citizens has been used to celebrate a convicted war criminal who burned women and children alive."[33]

Lukić's book was published by the Serbian Radical Party with an initial run of 1,000 copies. A second edition shortly followed after the book was met with great reception. The second edition was published in home production with a circulation of 10,000 copies.[34]

On 11 October 2011, the Valjevo Municipal Assembly denied the Serbian Radical Party's request to use the great hall of the local parliament building as a space to promote Lukić's book on the grounds that it was revealed that the book's author was in fact Rajko Đurđević and not Milan Lukić. After the failed request the Serbian Radical Party promoted the book at Valjevo's city square.[35]
