Writ of summons - Van Diepen Van der Kroef

four or five Dutchbat soldiers were standing in the immediate vicinity. They didnothing.The night of 12th to 13th July 1995 was also dreadful. It was chaos. I heard peoplescreaming and crying. Chetniks ran around raping the women. I myself saw how theytook a girl away. I never saw her return.My father lost consciousness in the morning of 13th July 1995. I asked a Chetnik if Imight fetch some water for my father. He said simply, “Go”. I crossed over a bridgeand along a road. I came to a house, about two hundred meters from the road. Betweenthis house and the street stands an electricity building. The house stands next to a smallstream. Near the house I saw a group of dead men lying. They wore civilian clothes.Their throats had been cut.As I was approaching the house I saw a woman. When she saw that I was not a soldiershe began to scream and ran outside. A group of Chetniks stood near the house. Whenthe Chetniks saw the woman run outside screaming they shot her dead. I collapsedwhen I saw that. A Chetnik walked up to me, grabbed me by the hair and asked mewhat I was afraid of. Then he began insulting me. I feared that that he would kill me.He took his knife and cut me above my eyes. Then he said that I was not worth this knifeand nor was I worth the cost of a bullet. He then kicked me in the head and took hisknife and stabbed me through my trousers. I saw that his knife was covered in blood.The thought flashed through me that he must already have killed someone. I then lostconsciousness. I do not know what then happened. I do not know at all what they didwith me, for I was unconscious. I ran off when I came round again. I left Potočari thatday by bus.’246. None of the events described above led, however, to Dutchbat taking action and/orraising the alarm.I.12.Need to report war crimes© Van Diepen Van der Kroef Advocaten 2007www.vandiepen.com111
