SIPA announced the arrest on Monday of three former Bosniak soldiers. The three are suspected of involvement in crimes against Serb civilians in 1992.
The Bosnian State Investigation and Protection Agency on Monday arrested Arifovic, Smajlovic and Salihovic on suspicion that on July 12, 1992, they were involved in crimes against eight Serb civilians who were brought to the police station in Srebrenica during an attack on the village of Zalazje.
Arifovic killed one of the civilians and is also suspected of having shot two others after they had been taken out of the police station, the prosecution said.
The BiH Prosecutor’s Office has brought charges in recent months in several cases involving war crimes against Serbs, though overall the office still prosecutes Serbs at a higher rate than non-Serbs.
