"The five witnesses have helped eliminate some dilemmas, which is positive. What is negative is that Glavas has been on a hunger strike for 33 days due to his detention, which is very visible," Glavas's attorney Ante Madunic said. He added that Glavas was able to walk and follow the hearings and was in good mental shape.
Glavas's attendance of court hearings depends on the evaluation of his condition by prison doctors, who report to investigating judge Zdenko Posavec about his health every morning.
Since Glavas has been on a hunger strike for more than a month, it is a matter of days when doctors will advise against his leaving the prison hospital, unofficial sources said.
Judge Posavec is expected to hear another five witnesses tomorrow, and six witnesses are expected to testify on Monday.
In the investigation conducted by the Zagreb County Court Glavas is charged with personally ordering the torture and murder of Serb civilians Cedomir Vuckovic and Djordje Petkovic and the torture of three other Serb civilians.
The co-accused, Krunoslav Fehir, who also attends hearings, has admitted to the crimes and accused Glavas of ordering them.
