For more information:http://icty.org/x/cases/kunarac/tjug/en/kun-tj010222e.pdf Dragoljub Kunarac sentenced to 28 years' imprisonment, Radomir Kovač sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment, Zoran Vuković sentenced to 12 years' imprisonment on 12 June 2002. The three accused, who are ethnic Serbs, have been charged by the Prosecution with violations of the laws or customs of war and with crimes against humanity -- rape, torture, enslavement and outrages upon personal dignity. They participated in a Serb campaign in the wider area of the municipality of Foča from early 1992 up to about mid-1993. The campaign was part of an armed conflict between the Serb and Muslim forces in the wider region of Foča, which existed at all times material to the indictments against the accused. One purpose of the campaign was, among others, to cleanse the Fo~a area of Muslims; to that end the campaign was successful. Even the town's name was cleansed. Foča was renamed Srbinje and now lies in the territory of the Republika Srpska. There are hardly any Muslims left in Srbinje today. One target of that campaign, apart from the Muslim armed forces, were Muslim civilians. In the present case, especially Muslim women.
