I.C.R.C. ASKED TO CLARIFY THE FATE OF 296 MISSING VUKOVARIANS

ZAGREB, May 19 (Hina) - The Center for human rights of detained and missing persons of Croatia and their families today renewed its request to International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to clarify the fate of 296 people that former Yugoslav army (JNA) had taken from Vukovar hospital in November 1991. At least one person, of those who could have information about them, has been known. It was a JNA officer (major at the time) Veselin Sljivancanin, and the Center proposed to ICRC to contact him. The Center proposed to ICRC to form a delegation of independent representatives who would deliver family messages to Sljivancanin, and ask the officer about detainees' fate.
