ABSTRACT
It took Serb forces less than ten days to take over the town of Foča, south-east of Sarajevo, in April 1992. Muslim homes were ransacked and destroyed. The non-Serb population was rounded up and beaten; many were killed. Men, women, and children were dispatched to detention centers where they were subjected to heinous crimes.1 One of those Serbs, Radovan Stanković, along with two soldiers from his battalion, moved into the abandoned home of a Muslim, “Karaman’s House,” and stocked it with Muslim women and girls so that Serb soldiers could sexually assault and rape them. The women and girls feared for their lives; there was no escape from the beatings and sexual violence, which went on for three months.2
