Glavas's hunger strike may adjourn proceedings?

ZAGREB, Nov 28 (Hina) - Zagreb County Court Investigating Judge Zdenko Posavec on Tuesday continued hearing witnesses within a probe against independent member of parliament Branimir Glavas and Krunoslav Fehir, suspected of having committed war crimes against local Serbs in the eastern city of Osijek in late 1991.
ZAGREB, Nov 28 (Hina) - Zagreb County Court Investigating Judge Zdenko Posavec on Tuesday continued hearing witnesses within a probe against independent member of parliament Branimir Glavas and Krunoslav Fehir, suspected of having committed war crimes against local Serbs in the eastern city of Osijek in late 1991.

Today, the judge heard defence witnesses, including Osijek Serb Bosko Bogojevic, who, according to unofficial reports, spoke about Glavas's engagement in efforts to protect Serbs in Osijek during the war.

Present at the hearing was Glavas, who went on hunger strike as soon as he was taken into custody in the Zagreb detention centre 33 days ago.

If Glavas becomes mentally incapable of following witness testimonies, due to his deteriorated health as a result of his hunger strike, his lawyers will ask for the suspension of this part of the proceedings.

"In case of his inability to attend hearings to which he is entitled, we shall immediately ask for the adjournment of the proceedings," said Ante Madunic, the lawyer for Glavas.

Madunic cited provisions of the law on criminal procedure which envisage that the investigating judge should discontinue an investigation if the accused is incapable of participating in the proceedings due to poor health.

Prison hospital doctors who keep the county court informed on Glavas's condition on a daily basis have said that his health can deteriorate any moment.
