ZAGREB, Nov 18 (Hina) - A book entitled "Apartman 102" ("Apartment
102" in an unofficial translation), written by a Bosnian Croat
woman, who was detained in a Serb detention camp, was presented in
Zagreb on Monday evening. #L#
The author of this book, Jadranka Cigelj, wrote about her suffering
and the suffering of other women and men imprisoned in the Serb-run
concentration camp in Omarska (north-western Bosnia), where she
had been detained from 14 June to 8 August 1992.
After being released from the camp thanks to the mediation of some
western European reporters, Cigelj co-operated with International
Red Cross, associations for the protection of human rights, and
spoke about the atrocities, committed in the camp, before the
German Bundestag and U.S. Congress and Senate.
Since September 1992 Cigelj has been living in Zagreb, and she has
gathered over 15,000 statement for the Croatian section of the
international society for the human rights, while working on a
project called "The Voice of the Victim - the Voice for the
Victim".
