PODGORICA, Nov 24 (Hina) - Pursuant to a decision by the Split
County Court to acquit eight military police officers from war
crimes charges, the families of Montenegrin citizens who were
killed in Split's Lora military prison in 1992 have announced to
file a law suit against Croatia before the International Court in
Strasbourg. #L#
The head of an association of the families of people arrested or
abducted during the war in the region of the former Yugoslavia,
Radivoje Simovic, said that the families would not give up from the
prosecution of criminals.
Simovic, whose brother Ratko was killed in Lora, said he expected
"the investigation in the Lora case to be taken up by international
institutions because it is obvious that one cannot expect of
Croatia to be objective and convict those who committed crimes."
A Montenegrin association of soldiers described the trial as a
farce and its result as "defeating".
