The first indictment was brought against J.J. and A.S.

According to the announcement, the accused, as former guards at Prishtina Prison and its branch in Lipjan, mistreated Albanian prisoners during 1998-1999, subjecting them to inhuman torture with various means, including rubber batons, metal rods, kicks and punches until they lost consciousness. At the same time, they also seriously threatened them with death.

Meanwhile, the second indictment was brought against four defendants: L.S., D.L., S.A., B.S.

The Special Prosecution said they are accused, in their capacity as guards at Prishtina Prison’s women’s branch in Lipjan, during the 1998-1999 war period, acting in co-perpetration with the already indicted N.C., of systematically mistreating Albanian women prisoners, torturing them in an inhuman manner and causing them bodily injuries as well as psychological violence.
