Period:<\/span><\/strong> From 5 to 20 August 1995<\/p>\n Description of crimes:<\/strong> During Operation Storm, the vast majority of Mokro Polje’s residents left the village and joined a refugee column. Some individuals chose to stay behind. Since people in surrounding villages began their journeys only on the night of 4 \u2014 5 August or later, a number from neighbouring villages were in Mokro Polje when the Croatian Army entered. After entering, Croatian forces killed some civilians they encountered in the village. In addition to inhabitants of Mokro Polje, civilians from the nearby settlements of \u017degar and Ivo\u0161evac were also killed in the village. Because not all incidents were well documented, various sources report different victim counts. Jovan Popovi\u0107 from Mokro Polje, born in 1948, lost his mother Stana and brother Mirko on 7 August 1995. On that day, after soldiers had forced him around the village and abused him, he lay down to sleep on the first floor of his house. He was awakened by gunfire:<\/p>\n Then I heard my mother scream (\u2026) When I heard a Croatian Army member shout: \u2018I’ve killed one, we must burn him before the observers arrive\u2019 (\u2026) I went downstairs and found my brother killed, and my mother choking from a wound in her neck (\u2026) She was waving her arm for me to run and asking for water. She soon died. A bullet entered my father’s ear and lodged itself in the TV screen (\u2026). <\/em><\/p>\n Jovan’s father managed to survive despite this fact.<\/p>\n Victims:<\/strong><\/p>\n Judicial consequences:<\/strong> None of those responsible for these crimes have been held criminally accountable. In memory of the civilian residents of Mokro Polje who were killed in August 1995, the villagers of Mokro Polje and the Association of Serbian Families Against Oblivion erected a memorial plaque.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1350","zlocini","type-zlocini","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
