Contents Summary
Two Bosnian Serb women, victims of rape, featured. J.I. (age 28, from Bosnia), describes how she had to leave Croatia and how Serb women from Kninska Krajina were tortured and raped by Croats (she calls them "Ustase") and Muslims in Slavonski Brod and Odzak. J.I. was pregnant and didn't want to see her child when it was born. S.K. (age 20 from Sarajevo) describes how she was held captive in Pofalici, in a prison run by Ismet Bajramovic (aka "Celo"), who raped her. S.K. was also pregnant and gave birth to a child. Two doctors from Belgrade hospitals speak of late pregnancies ending in abortions and the traumas endured by victims of rape.
