Writ of summons - Van Diepen Van der Kroef

I arrived at the barrier shortly thereafter and my husband and I were separated. At thebarrier I was told to walk straight on. My husband had to turn left. At that moment I didnot react. I said nothing. I could not speak. My mouth was as dry as a bone and I felttears well up in my eyes. I came to the truck. There were Dutchbat soldiers there. Theydid nothing.Thereafter we were transported. (…)’265. Plaintiff Subašić states (Exhibit 9):‘A wall of soldiers was formed at one point. It was then 13th July 1995. A livingcorridor was formed in this way of Dutch and Serbian soldiers, and we were literallythrown off the base. No-one remained behind. In that way they could check who waspermitted to step into the buses. Then I encountered my husband in front of the base.When we came together my husband and I tried to get to the buses. One of the Dutchsoldiers held my husband back and took him to the Serbs. I know for certain that it wasa Dutch soldier because he spoke in English to my husband and he wore shorts. Allthat, thus from leaving the base to the moment that I was separated from my husband,took about ten minutes. Here I must add that I also personally saw how a man, one ofour men, tried to conceal himself on the base, but he was then grabbed by his hands bytwo Dutch men and thrown off the base. The buses in which we sat were not escorted toTuzla by the Dutch soldiers.’266. Plaintiff No. 10 states (Exhibit 10):‘We had to board the buses and trucks that stood ready for us on 13th July 1995. Themen were not allowed to come with us. My uncle with his three-year old son on hisshoulders had to give his son to his wife and was told that he must say goodbye. Wenever saw him again. In the meantime Dutch soldiers stood laughing with Serbiansoldiers. I saw some drinking beer together.’I.14.Reactions to the fall of the Safe Area© Van Diepen Van der Kroef Advocaten 2007www.vandiepen.com119
