'..the former belligerentsare repeatedly taking certain
detainees to sites for their possible release and then back into
detention again, thus imposing unbearable psychological pressure
upon them and their families', the statement said.
'The ICRC therefore appeals once again to the former
belligerents to release immediately and unconditionally all people
still held in connection with the conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina
and whose detention has not been requested by the International
Criminal Tribunal in The Hague', the statement said.
