Witnesses Jelenko Kovacevic and Milorad Oro were captured on the front line near Mostar and taken to Lora in 1992.
Kovacevic said that he was in Lora from 15 May to 31 October and that during that time he was subjected to torture which left him with 70-percent disability.
He said that he did not have direct knowledge of the torture of civilians at Lora, adding that he had learned about it from other prisoners. The witness recognised all four indictees attending the trial as the people who had tortured him.
He confirmed that representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross had visited the prison, but that the prisoners did not complain about how they were being treated because they feared revenge, so they lied that their injuries were the result of their falling off of their beds.
The witness said that he had been examined at the Army Medical Centre (VMA) in Belgrade, which he said had been documented.
Witness Milorad Oro spent some 20 days at the Lora prison. He too said that he did not have direct knowledge of civilians being tortured in the prison. This prompted defence counsel to move discontinuing his questioning, saying that the abuse to which the witness was allegedly subjected as a prisoner of war had nothing to do with the ongoing trial.
The panel of judges granted the motion, after which it questioned the witness about the circumstances known to him.
