Witness Dusan Parpura, a physician at the former Split Military
Hospital, was in 1992 suspected of collaboration in the armed
rebellion against the Republic of Croatia.
According to him, he spent only two days in Lora prison, after which
he was transferred for two months to a municipal penitentiary in
Bilice, where he had heard from other inmates that they had been
abused in Lora.
The second witness, Jovan Prkut, said he had never been in Lora, but
that he had heard of inmates in Bilice about abuse in Lora. He was
also suspected of armed rebellion against Croatia.
The trial continues on Tuesday when four witnesses will be heard.
