Udruženje za društvena istraživanja i komunikacije (UDIK) podsjeća javnost na godišnjicu ratnog zločina nad civilima sela Biljani kod Ključa. Napad na ovo selo započeo je u ranim jutarnjim satima 10. jula 1992. godine, a predvodile su ga 17. laka pješadijska brigada Vojske Republike srpske (VRS) u saradnji sa rezervnim i aktivnim policajcima Odjeljenja policije iz Sanice. Ubijeno je oko 260 bošnjačkih civila, mještana sela Biljani. Među ubijenima bilo je i šestoro djece. Najstarija žrtva bio je 85-godišnji Bećo Ćehić, dok je najmlađa žrtva bila četveromjesečna beba Amila Džaferagić.
Prema podacima Instituta za nestale osobe BiH, masovne grobnice u kojima su pronađene žrtve iz Biljana uglavnom su otkrivene krajem 1995. i 1996. Prva otkrivena masovna grobnica je Crvena zemlja I iz koje je ekshumirano šesnaest žrtava. Najveća masovna grobnica je jama Lanište I iz koje je u periodu od 5. oktobra do 15. novembra 1996. ekshumirano 188 žrtava. Na području Biljana pronađene su trideset i četiri pojedinačne grobnice.
U novembru 2006. godine Sud Bosne i Hercegovine je osudio komandira Treće čete saničkog bataljona u sastavu 17. lake pješadijske brigade VRS-a Marka Samardžiju na 26 godina zatvora da je „kao dio širokog ili sistematičnog napada usmjerenog protiv civilnog stanovništva, znajući za takav napad, pomogao u lišenju drugih osoba života (ubistvo)“. Drugostepenom presudom je Samardžija oglašen krivim za zatvaranje i teško oduzimanje fizičke slobode kao zločin protiv čovječnosti i osuđen na kaznu zatvora u trajanju od sedam godina. Pomenuti predmet je UDIK objavio 2020. u vidu publikacije Ratni zločin u Biljanima, Predmet: Marko Samardžija.
Za ovaj zločin se sudilo članovima kriznog štaba Marku Ademoviću i Bošku Lukiću, koji su osuđeni za zločin protiv čovječnosti u Ključu, ali su za napad na Biljane oslobođeni. Tužilaštvo BiH je za zločin u Biljanima teretilo i bivšeg komandanta 17. lake pješadijske brigade Dragu Samardžiju. Postupak protiv njega nikada nije počeo, a on je preminuo u Srbiji 2021. godine.
Iako su svjedočenja preživjelih objelodanila kontekst masakra u Biljanima, Marko Samardžija i dalje ostaje jedina osoba osuđena za ovaj zločin. Apelujemo na Tužilaštvo BiH i na sve druge nadležne institucije da ubrzaju proces podizanja optužnica kako bi se počinioci procesuirali, a žrtve konačno našle smiraj.
U povodu godišnjice sjećamo se ubijenih civila iz sela Biljani kod Ključa.
Udruženje za društvena istraživanja i komunikacije (UDIK) pomaže post-jugoslovenskim društvima da uspostave vladavinu prava i prihvate nasljeđe masovnog kršenja ljudskih prava, kako bi se utvrdila krivična odgovornost za počinioce, zadovoljila pravda i onemogućilo ponavljanje zločina. To je afirmacija vrijednosti otvorenog građanskog društva, sa jasno definiranim prioritetima u pogledu promoviranja, zaštite ljudskih prava, i uključivanja mladih u društveno-političke procese kroz mirovni aktivizam.

THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BILJANI MASSACRE
The Association for Social Research and Communication (UDIK) reminds the public of the anniversary of
the war crime in the village of Biljani in the region of Ključ. The attack on this village started in the morning hours of July 10, 1992, and was led by the 17th Light Infantry Brigade of the Republika Srpska Army (VRS) with the help of police officers of the Sanica Police Department. In this village Serbian forces executed about 260 men, women, children and elderly Bosniaks. The oldest victim was 85 years old Bećo Ćehić, while the youngest victim was a four months baby Amila Džaferagić.
According to the Institute for Missing Persons of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the mass graves in which the Biljani massacre victims were found were mostly discovered in 1995 and 1996. The first mass grave
discovered was “Crvena zemlja I”, from which sixteen victims were exhumed. The largest mass grave was
“Lanište I”, from which 188 victims were exhumed in the period from October 5 to November 15, 1996.
In the area of Biljani, 34 individual graves were also found.
In November 2006, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentenced the commander of the Third Troop of
the Sanica Battalion in the 17th Light Infantry Brigade of the VRS Marko Samardžija to 26 years in prison who “as part of a broad or systematic attack directed against the civilian population, knowing about such an attack, assisted in depriving other persons of their lives (murder)”. The second-instance verdict found Samardžija guilty of imprisonment and severe deprivation of liberty and sentenced to seven years in prison. “War crime in Biljani, Case: Marko Samardžija“ was published by UDIK in 2020.
Marko Ademović and Boško Lukić were also tried for this crime and they were convicted of crimes against humanity in Ključ, but were acquitted for the attack on the village of Biljani. For the Biljani massacre, the Prosecutor's Office of B&H also charged the former commander of the 17th Light Infantry Brigade Drago Samardžija. The proceedings against him never started, and he died in Serbia in 2021.
Although the testimonies of the survivors revealed the context of the Biljani massacre, Marko Samardžija is still the only person convicted for this crime. We appeal to the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina and all other competent institutions to speed up the process of filing indictments. The perpetrators of this massacre must be prosecuted so that the victims can rest in peace. On the occasion of the anniversary, we remember the killed civilians from the village of Biljani near Ključ.
The Association for Social Research and Communications (UDIK) helps post-Yugoslav societies to establish the rule of law and to accept the legacy of massive human rights violations in order to identify the criminal responsibility of perpetrators, to meet justice and prevent the repetition of such crimes. It is the affirmation of the value of an open civil society, with clearly defined
priorities in terms of promotion and protection of human rights, as well as youth involvement in social and political processes through peace activism.
