Udruženje za društvena istraživanja i komunikacije (UDIK) podsjeća javnost da je jun mjesec kada se obilježavaju godišnjice Živih lomača, monstruoznih ratnih zločina koje su 1992. godine počinili pripadnici paravojne formacije Osvetnici, na čelu sa najokrutnijim višegradskim zločincima Milanom i Sredojem Lukićem. Živi civili, većinom žene i djeca, zapaljeni su na više lokacija od kojih se posebno izdvajaju Pionirska ulica i Bikavac.
Dana 14. juna u kući Adema Omeragića u Pionirskoj ulici zapaljeno je oko sedamdeset bošnjačkih civila uglavnom iz sela Koritnik. Najmlađa žrtva je imala svega dva dana. Dvije sedmice kasnije scenario je ponovljen na Bikavcu gdje je u kući Mehe Aljića zapaljeno sedamdeset bošnjačkih civila. Preživjela je Zehra Turjačanin koja je o strahotama na Bikavcu svjedočila pred Međunarodnim krivičnim sudom za bivšu Jugoslaviju (MKSJ).
Tribunal je osudio Milana Lukića na doživotnu kaznu zatvora za zločine u Višegradu, uključujući Pionirsku i Bikavac. Sredoje Lukić je proglašen krivim za premlaćivanja u logoru Uzamnica, te da je pridonio lišavanju života civila zaključanih u kući Adema Omeragića. Osuđen je na dvadeset i sedam godina zatvora. Sud Bosne i Hercegovine osudio je na dvadeset godina zatvora Radomira Šušnjara za zločine počinjene u Pionirskoj ulici. Mitar Vasiljević je osuđen pred MKSJ-om na petnaest godina zatvora zbog zločina počinjenih u Višegradu, ali je oslobođen za zločin u Pionirskoj ulici.
Pred državnim sudom za zločine u Višegradu osuđeni su: Boban Šimšić, Dragan Šekarić, Mićo Jovičić, Miloš Pantelić, Momir Savić, Momir Tasić, Nenad Tanasković, Oliver Krsmanović, Petar Kovačević, Predrag Milisavljević, Petar Tasić, Vitomir Racković, Vuk Ratković i Željko Lelek. Kantonalni sud u Sarajevu osudio je Novu Rajaka na osam godina zatvora. Prošle je godine državni sud izrekao presudu kojom je Milomir Đuričić osuđen na pet, a Vukadin Spasojević na jedanaest godina zatvora za zločine počinjene nad bošnjačkim stanovništvom u logoru Uzamnica 1992. i 1993. godine.
Sudija Patrick Robinson je u presudi Milanu i Sredoju Lukiću iz 2009. godine okarakterisao zločine koje su Lukići počinili kao „bezobziran i izopačen prezir prema ljudskom životu“. Naveo je kako „u isuviše dugoj, tužnoj i nesrećnoj istoriji čovjekove nehumanosti prema drugom čovjeku, paljenje kuća u Pionirskoj ulici i na Bikavcu mora zauzeti istaknuto mjesto“.
Višegrad bi svakako trebao zauzeti istaknuto mjesto u komemorativnim praksama jer priča tužnu i bolnu istinu o ratu protiv Bosne i Hercegovine. Struktura stanovništva ovog mjesta danas je gotovo potpuno izmijenjena. Drina krije ljudske ostatke jednako kao što šute svi oni koji su svjedočili ratnim strahotama Višegrada.
I ove godine apelujemo na sve one koji taje o sudbinama Višegrađana da konačno progovore i barem malo olakšaju bol porodicama ubijenih koje više od tri decenije čekaju na istinu. Suočavanje sa monstruoznostima devedesetih je težak teret za pojedinca, ali zajedno kao društvo moramo smoći snage da procesuiramo zločince iz naših redova i time svima pružimo bolju budućnost.
Sjećamo se svih ratnih žrtava Višegrada, a posebno tokom juna kada iskazujemo pijetet civilima ubijenim u Živim lomačama, piše u saopćenju Udruženja za društvena istraživanja i komunikacije (UDIK).
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 PIONIRSKA STREET AND BIKAVAC FIRE
The Association for Social Research and Communication (UDIK) reminds the public of the anniversary of the war crimes that took place in Pionirska Street and Bikavac in Višegrad in June 1992.
In the Pionirska Street Fire, on June 14, 1992, a group of Bosniak civilians were locked en masse in the house of Adem Omeragić in Višegrad. The house was set ablaze and the occupants were left to burn to death. About seventy Bosniak women, children and elderly men, most of them from the village of Koritnik, were confined in a house in Pionirska Street by cousins Milan and Sredoje Lukić, leaders of the paramilitary unit called Avengers. The youngest victim was two days old. A similar scenario happened on June 27, when approximately seventy Bosniak civilians were forced into one room in the house of Meho Aljić in the settlement of Bikavac. After the captives were robbed, the house was set on fire and the occupants were burned alive. According to the testimony of Zehra Turjačanin before ICTY, there were many children in the house, the youngest less than one year old. Such crimes were repeated at several other locations in Višegrad.
The Hague Tribunal sentenced Milan Lukić to life imprisonment for crimes committed in Višegrad, including Pionirska Street and Bikavac. Sredoje Lukić was found guilty of beatings in the Uzamnica camp and of contributing to the killing of civilians trapped in the house of Adem Omeragić. He was sentenced to twenty-seven years in prison. The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina sentenced Radomir Šušnjar to twenty years in prison for crimes committed in Pionirska Street. Mitar Vasiljević was sentenced before the ICTY to fifteen years in prison for crimes committed in Višegrad, but was acquitted for the crime in Pionirska Street.
The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina convicted the following for war crimes in Višegrad: Boban Šimšić, Dragan Šekarić, Mićo Jovićić, Miloš Pantelić, Momir Savić, Momir Tasić, Nenad Tanasković, Oliver Krsmanović, Petar Kovačević, Predrag Milisavljević, Petar Tasić, Vitomir Racković, Vuk Ratković and Željko Lelek. The Sarajevo Cantonal Court sentenced Novo Rajak to eight years in prison. Last year, the state court sentenced Milomir Đuričić to five years in prison and Vukadin Spasojević to eleven years in prison for crimes committed against the Bosniak population in the Uzamnica camp in 1992 and 1993.
In 2009, in his verdict against Milan and Sredoje Lukić, Judge Patrick Robinson characterized the crimes committed by Milan and Sredoje as “a callous and vicious disregard for human life.” “In the all too long, sad and wretched history of man’s inhumanity to man, the Pionirska Street and Bikavac Fires must rank high”, Judge Robinson, presiding said.
Višegrad should definitely occupy a prominent place in commemorative practices because it tells the sad and painful truth about the war against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The population structure of this municipality has almost completely changed today. The Drina hides human remains just as all those who witnessed the horrors of war in Višegrad hide the truth.
This year, we once again appeal to all those who remain silent about the fates of the people of Višegrad to finally speak out and ease the pain of the families of the murdered who have been waiting for the truth for more than three decades. Facing the monstrosities of the 1990s is a heavy burden for an individual, but together as a society we must find the strength to prosecute the criminals from our communities and thereby provide a better future for everyone.
We remember all the war victims of Višegrad, and especially during June when we pay homage to the civilians killed in the Pionirska Street and Bikavac Fire.
The Association for Social Research and Communication (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.
