The Kiseljak massacre was the mass murder of approximately 78 Bosniak civilians by members of the Croatian Defence Council in June 1993, during the Croat–Bosniak War. The massacre was committed by the political and military leadership of the Croatian Community of Herzeg-Bosnia. It was the second largest massacre committed by Croats during the Croat–Bosniak War.[1]
Crime
From June 12-16 June 1993, the paramilitary units of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) raided the villages of Tulica, Grahovci and Han Ploča in the municipality of Kiseljak.[citation needed] They killed 78 Bosniak civilians, including women, old and infirm people, and children up to 13 years old.[citation needed]
Some 400 Bosniak men and women were taken to camps, where they were subjected to terror and forced labor near the front lines. In order to cover the traces of the crime, the units burned the bodies of the murdered, and buried the unburned bodies in individual and mass graves.[citation needed]
