The Bosnian state prosecution announced that the State Investigation and Protection Agency arrested Dusko Suvara, alias Hans, in the Banja Luka area on Wednesday.

Suvara is charged with committing crimes against the civilian population in the municipality of Glamoc in 1992 as a member of the Bosnian Serb Army.

“The suspect has been charged with having forcibly taken victims from their houses and separated them from their families, while armed, threatening the victims by saying he would kill them and their family members and shooting with firearms, and committing the multiple rape and sexual abuse of Bosniak women, as well as the torture, intimidation and inhumane treatment of Bosniak civilians in the Glamoc area,” the prosecution said in a statement.

Following his arrest, Suvara will be handed over to a prosecutor, who will question him and make a decision about how to proceed with the case.
