    Charges
    The Indictment (of 27 December 2007) alleges that, from May 1993 to July 1993, as a member of the HVO Convicts Battalion, Hrkac inflicted severe physical and mental pain on prisoners of war, members of the Army of RBiH. According to the Indictment, Hrkac treated the detained Bosniak civilians in an inhumane manner, tortured them and forced them to sexual intercourse. Hrkac is charged in the indictment with the following crimes: - War Crimes against Civilians pursuant to Article 173(1) of the Criminal Code of BiH (CC BiH) in conjunction with the following items: c) Killings, intentional infliction of severe physical or mental pain or suffering upon a person (torture), inhuman treatment, and e) Unlawful bringing in concentration camps and other illegal arrests and detention. - War Crimes against Prisoners of War pursuant to Article 175(1) of the CC BiH in conjunction with the following item: a) depriving other persons of their life (murders), intentional infliction of severe physical or mental pain or suffering upon persons (tortures), inhuman treatment. All in conjunction with Article 29 (Accomplices) and Article 180(1) of the CC BiH (individual criminal responsibility).Although it is not entirely clear under which charges the sexual violence is brought, this is likely under torture and/or inhuman treatment as war crimes.The indictment was confirmed on 9 January 2008.
