Usually I odn't put in stuff from people who have flamed me...

But when it is pertinent information I will.....

This came in 'Comments' from Ida, and should in all fairness NOT be buried...

VIDEO: Torture in Sarajevo Prison
Two inmates had their hands and feet tied, while other prisoners are shoving their heads into buckets of water.

Two inmates of a prison in Sarajevo were abused by other prisoners and everything was recorded on video which was obtained by the Dnevni avaz daily.

One of the abused young men is allegedly Berin Talic, 19, from Sarajevo, who is currently on trial for aiding and abetting in the murder of Denis Mrnjavac, 17.

Mrnjavac was killed last February and Nermin Sirkic was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison for his murder.

The footage taken in the prison shows Talic and another inmate having their hands and legs bound. Two other inmates then shove their heads in buckets of water. In the meantime, they slap them and insult them. In the background somebody can be heard begging of them to stop abusing the two men.

Sarajevo prison deputy director, Mladen Krpan, said he was not familiar with the case.

- All I can say for now is that nothing has been recorded regarding that case, but we will certainly conduct some searches. It is of great importance that we view the footage when it is available to us – Krpan said.

It was a repulsive crime but the accused haven't been convicted, and there's nothing quite so sickening as fellow criminals righteously setting themselves up as an alternative justice system. Apart that is from someone videoing the torture.
 
I've seen the video. It's very unpleasant but as far as what's captured in the clip is concerned it's intimidatory stuff rather than full-on brutalisation. That raises questions concerning what has gone on off camera, but it also makes me reflect on Ida's selective outrage. (Don't publish this if you think you're going to get more undesired aggravation from him/her)
