    Charges
    Talic was charged with sexual violence crimes in the fourth amended indictment (of 10 December 2001) as follows: - Causing serious bodily or mental harm as genocide or, alternatively, complicity in genocide, which included rapes and sexual assault of Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat detainees in various camps and detention facilities; - Persecution as a crime against humanity, which included rapes and sexual assaults of Bosnian Muslim women in the Keraterm camp in July 1992, in the Trnopolje camp in July 1992 and the Omarska camp in June 1992; - Torture as a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 as a war crime, which included rapes of Bosnian Muslim women in the Keraterm camp in July 1992, in the Trnopolje camp in July 1992 and the Omarska camp in June 1992. Talic was charged for these crimes both under Article 7(1) (individually or in concert with Brdanin and also with others in the Bosnian Serb leadership, planned, instigated, ordered, committed or otherwise aided and abetted) and Article 7(3). Proceedings against Talic (who had originally been charged with Brdanin) have been terminated. Talic died on 28 May 2003 during provisional release, which he was granted due to medical reasons.
