The Prosecutor

his authority under Article 18 of the Statute of the Tribunal, charges:
ZEJNIL DELALIC,
ZDRAVKO MUCIC, HAZIM DELIC and ESAD LANDZO with GRAVE BREACHES
OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS and VIOLATIONS OF THE LAWS AND CUSTOMS OF WAR, as
set forth below.
BACKGROUND
1. The Konjic municipality
is located in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the 1991 census, the population
of Konjic municipality, which includes Konjic town and surrounding villages
including Celebici, was approximately 45,000 persons, with the ethnic distribution
being approximately 55% Muslim, 26% Croatian, and 15% Serbian. Konjic was of
significance because it contained a large factory for arms and ammunition, as
well as several military facilities, and because it was a transportation link
between Mostar and Sarajevo.
2. Beginning in
the latter part of May 1992, forces consisting of Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian
Croats attacked and took control of those villages containing predominantly
Bosnian Serbs within and around the Konjic municipality. The attackers forcibly
expelled Bosnian Serb residents from their homes, and held them at collection
centres. Many of the women and children were confined in a local school or in
other locations. Most of the men and some women were taken to a former JNA facility
in Celebici, hereafter referred to as the Celebici camp. There, the detainees
were killed, tortured, sexually assaulted, beaten, and otherwise subjected to
cruel and inhuman treatment. The majority of detainees were confined at Celebici
from approximately May 1992 until approximately October of 1992, though some
remained until December 1992. Detention facilities within the camp included
a tunnel, a hangar, and an administration building. After their confinement
in Celebici, the majority of the detainees were moved to other detention camps,
where they were imprisoned for periods of up to 28 months.
THE ACCUSED
3. Zejnil DELALIC,
born 25 March 1948, co-ordinated activities of the Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian
Croat forces in the Konjic area from approximately April 1992 to at least September
1992 and was the Commander of the First Tactical Group of the Bosnian Muslim
forces from approximately June 1992 to November 1992. His responsibilities included
authority over the Celebici camp and its personnel.

also known as "Pavo", born 31 August 1955, was commander of Celebici
camp from approximately May 1992 to November 1992.
5. Hazim DELIC,
born 13 May 1964, was deputy commander of Celebici camp from approximately May
1992 to November 1992. After the departure of Zdravko MUCIC in approximately
November 1992, DELIC became commander of Celebici camp until it closed
in approximately December 1992.

also known as "Zenga", born 7 March 1973, was a guard at Celebici
