Bukovica engleski.qxd 15.3.2003 13:54 Page 66 66 Bukovica diers were from Čajniče, and also that Latif Bungur, who was about 90, was too old to come with us. His wife Lamka was taken with us. I left home with bare feet and in my pajamas because they wouldn’t let me dress or put on shoes. We had gone about 200 or 300 meters when I heard a shot and immediately thought to myself that Latif had been killed. On the way to Čajniče I recognized among the soldiers Nedjo Mašić, who was our neighbor. ‘What are you doing to us?’ I asked him and he replied: ‘If it hadn’t been for me, you would have been killed.’ I also recognized Milorad Vasić from Brka near Čajniče. When we were being thrown out of our homes, he wore a stocking over his head. I know him because he used to be the janitor at the school in Čajniče. As we passed through Trpinje village, I saw Savo Mašić standing outside his house and heard him say: ‘That’s right, my sons, my falcons. Take care of your own and revenge them.’ When we were about half way to Čajniče, in Hanina village outside the house of Vlatko Mašić, they gave us a hard time for a short while and then took us into some rooms, all of us separately. It was then that I had to give them my gold rings, necklace and some money. When they had done those disgraceful searches, they put us in a bus and drove us to Čajniče. 87 At the Čajniče police station, Sevda Bungur told inspectors everything that had happened to her and her group. She was held until 23 March 1993. As various groups of soldiers came back from the front-lines, they would come to the prison and threaten her and the others with death or mutilation. 87 Statement by Sevda Bungur, 15 August 2001, HLC documentation.

The Čajniče mayor, Dr Dušan Kornjača came to see us once and said he would have us all killed if we didn’t help them get out of Goražde. When we complained that we were sick and didn’t have medicine, he sent a woman doctor, Dr Tadić, to us. She examined us and gave us medicines. Sevda Bungur recounted that her son Šefko, who lives in Bijelo Polje, went to see Montenegrin President Bulatović and Minister of Internal Affair Pejaković and urged them to use their influence to obtain the release of her group. Sevda now lives with her sons Dževad, Mirsad and Suljo in Sarajevo. She occasionally comes to Pljevlja and stays with friends there. The HLC has learned that Delva and her blind daughter Razija now live in Goražde, and Vezira Bungur with her son in Sarajevo. 7.6. The murder of Latif Bungur Humanitarian Law Center It remains unclear whether or not the 95-year-old Latif Bungur refused to leave his home when the Bosnian Serb soldiers came and took six elderly members of the family, including Latif’s wife Lamka (80), away to Čajniče. In July 1993, activists of the Novi Pazar-based Sandžak Committee for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms 88 spoke in Pljevlja with an elderly woman who lived close to Latif and Lamka Bungur until she fled the village before the Bosnian Serb soldiers came. 88 1995 Annual Report on the State of Human Rights and Freedoms and the Position of Bosniacs/Muslims in the Sandžak- Yugoslavia, Sandžak Committee for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms, Novi Pazar, 1995. 67
