ICTY

In 1992, the Serb authorities in Bosanski Petrovac detained Bosniak and Croat civilians in eight detention facilities: the Kozila camp, the Bosanski Petrovac Public Security Station (SJB), the sports centre, the bus station, a hotel, Jasikovac, Vrtoč, and the Oštrelj workers’ barracks. (paras. 424-425. Krajišnik, p. 161.)

In early July 1992, approximately 30 Bosniaks from Bosanski Petrovac were transported by bus approximately 20 kilometres away to the construction site of the Kozila wood processing company, near the village of Drinić. At least 80 Bosniaks were detained at the Kozila camp. (para. 497. Brđanin, p. 181.), (para. 424. Krajišnik, p. 161.)

The detainees in the Kozila camp were subjected to beatings and other forms of mistreatment. (para. 499. Brđanin, p. 182.)

Non-Serb civilians were taken from their homes to the basement of the police station, from where they were transferred in an organised manner to the prison at Kozila. (Barović and Adamović, p. 38.)

The detainees were beaten in the Kozila prison compound during June and July 1992, causing some to lose consciousness. Some were forced to fight each other. (Barović and Adamović, pp. 4., 39-40.), (Milenko Zorić, pp. 2-4.)

At Kozila, detainees were beaten and tortured in other ways in early August 1992. (Barović and Adamović, pp. 4, 40-42.), (Milenko Zorić, pp. 2-3.)
