Contents Summary

ITN's Penny Marshall and Ian Williams of Channel 4 News were invited by the Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic, to visit Omarska and Trnopolje prison camps in Northern Bosnia. Constant images of emaciated prisoners are shown. The ITN crew was only allowed to visit a dining hall in the Omarska camp. Camp guards refused to let them see the living accommodations for prisoners there. Prisoners who were transported from Omarska to the Trnopolje prison camp give brief statements. A boy is interviewed, age 13, who came to Trnopolje voluntarily, claiming he was used as a human shield by extremist Muslims and that his mother was taken by the Serbs. Bosnian Serb administrators of the camps such as Simo Drljaca and Nada Balaban are shown.
