Former Bosnian Croat policeman Miroslav Peric was sentenced to one year in prison for inhumanely treating an underage prisoner of war at the Vojno detention camp near Mostar in 1993.
The Bosnian state court found Miroslav Peric guilty on Tuesday of physically mistreating the boy, who was a prisoner of war at the Vojno camp near Mostar, in October 1993.
Peric signed a plea agreement with the Bosnian prosecution, admitting the crime, which he committed as a member of the Bosnian Croat police forces.
After accepting his plea, the court sentenced Peric to a year in jail.
According to the verdict, Peric ordered the prisoner out of a garage near the Vojno camp where detainees were being held, and hit him on the head and body.
He then took the boy by the head and bashed him on the floor, the verdict said.
The other prisoners were then told to hit the boy.
