Mater
Bećir Medunjanin i njegova supruga bili su nastavnici u školi, a on je od 1991. bio načelnik vojnog odsjeka u Prijedoru. Njihovo hapšenje u junu 1992. slavodobitno je objavio "Kozarski vjesnik" kao hvatanje opasnih ekstremista, zajedno sa ponižavajućom fotografijom.
"Medunjani" u naslovu i tekstu članka nije štamparska greška. Bio je to pokušaj dehumanizacije ove porodice iskrivljavanjem njihovog prezimena, da liči na "šiptarsko", uljesko.
Bećir je ubijen u Omarskoj, supruga Sadeta u konvoju koji je išao "na razmjenu", sin Haris ko zna gdje, a sin Anes (sa slike) je, uprkos divljačkom premlaćivanju u Omarskoj, nekim čudom preživio.
Iživljavanje nad Bećirom Medunjaninom opisalo je u svojim svjedočenjima više logoraša iz Omarske, a jedan od direktnih očevidaca Fadil Avdagić, ovako je na suđenju zločincima iz Omarske u Hagu 2000. godine opisao taj horor u "bijeloj kući" u Omarskoj:
Svjedok potom opisuje kako su Duško Knežević, Zoran Žigić i još dva srpska vojnika počeli tući njega i ostale logoraše, udarajući ih palicama, nogama, skačući po njima, logoraša Daliju Hrnjaka, koji je kasnije podlegao, su ubadali nožem.A. An armed man came in -- I mean, not that he was carrying any
weapon. He had a uniform; that's what I wanted to say. And he wanted to
know who was in Kozarac. Then he separated myself, together with four
other young men, and he took us back to the first room on the left.
Q. Did you know this man's name at that time, the man who took you
out of room A4?
A. No, I didn't.
Q. Did you subsequently learn that person's name?
A. Yes, I learned later on that his name was Dusan Knezevic and that
his nickname was Duca and that he was from Pakrac.
Q. Was he from Pakrac, or was that his nickname, "Duca from Pakrac"?
A. No, it was just a nickname. Dusan Knezevic is actually from
Prijedor. His nickname was "Duca from Pakrac," because as I had later
learned, he had participated in the war in Croatia in 1991, and that is
how he earned his nickname, "Duca from Pakrac."
Q. Thank you. Did you recognise anyone else present in that room?
A. Yes, I recognised Zoran Zigic only. There were two other young
men with him wearing uniforms, and the fourth one was Duca, who had
brought me there.
Q. Was this the same Zoran Zigic that you knew as a taxi driver in
Prijedor?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you recognise any of the detainees in that room?
A. Yes. I recognised Becir Medunjanin, his son Anes, and Dalija
Hrnjak. I didn't know anybody else.
Q. What, if anything, did you notice about Becir Medunjanin's
appearance and condition?
A. Yes. Becir was the only one who was sitting next to the entrance,
on the right-hand side. He was sitting on a chair, and the rest of us, we
were all sitting around, leaning against the walls. I knew Becir very
well but he didn't look at me, he didn't pay any attention to me. He had
been beaten up and he was completely absent-minded.
[Marks]. Between Becir and myself, his son Anes was sitting --
well, actually, he was lying down.
Q. What, if anything, did you notice about the appearance and
9 condition of Anes Medunjanin?
A. As I said, Anes was lying down on the floor. He was not sitting.
He was covered in blood. He was bleeding from his head.
Smrt Bećira Medunjanina usljed stalnog premlaćivanja opisana je i u presudi Suda BiH Željku Mejakiću i drugima:A. Duca hit me a couple of times. So my head split in two places and
my jaw fractured at that point, on the right-hand side.
Q. What did Duca hit you with?
A. With a stick, a baton.
Q. After Duca hit you on the head several times, what did Duca do?
A. Then they stopped beating us, and all of them approached Becir
Medunjanin, who was still sitting on the chair.
Q. What, if anything, did Duca say to Becir Medunjanin?
A. He called him Albanac, an Albanian. He said, "You are not Becir
Medunjanin but Beqiri Medunani. You have come here from Kosovo to wage
war in Bosnia." However, Becir was not from Kosovo. He was from
Montenegro, from a place called Plav.
Q. What questions, if any, did Duca ask of Becir Medunjanin?
A. He asked him, "What are you doing?" and Becir said, "I am a
teacher in the school in Kozarac." Then he just smiled ironically. And
after that, as Becir was sitting on a chair, he kicked him with his boot
in the nose.
Q. Prior to that kick in the nose, what, if anything, did Duca say in
regard to Anes Medunjanin?
A. Yes. Before kicking him, he picked Anes by the hair, pulled his
head up and took out a knife and said, "Watch me slit your son's throat."
Q. Who did Duca say that to?
A. To Becir Medunjanin.
Q. How, if at all, did Becir Medunjanin respond?
A. Becir managed -- though he was absent in mind, he said, "Please
don't do that," and then he jumped up from the chair and tried to escape,
to go out. Yes. Becir jumped off the chair and ran through the door into the
corridor, towards the exit from the "white house." I could see all this
well because I was sitting only two or three metres from the door, facing
the door directly. Just then, all four of them reacted by yelling and
shouting at the guards at the exit, "Don't shoot. Bring him back alive."
Q. When you said all four of them were shouting, "Don't shoot. Bring
him back all alive," who were you referring to?
A. The four men in uniform; Zigic, Duca, and two young men in
uniform.
Q. Could you see the faces of Duca and Zoran Zigic at that moment?
A. Yes. They were furious at the very thought that somebody had
dared to try and escape, and that is why they yelled at the guards,
saying, "Don't shoot. Bring him back alive."
Q. Were there guards standing by the entrance to the "white house"?
A. No. They were standing in front of the "white house," at the door
of the "white house."
Q. What, if anything, did those guards do?
A. They caught Becir and brought him back into the room and again
seated him on the chair.
Q. What, if anything, happened after Becir Medunjanin was seated once
more on that chair?
A. Yes. Just then, Duca kicked him with his army boot in the nose so
that the nose split, sort of split into two onto his cheeks. Becir fell
from the chair, lost consciousness, and they were laughing. Then Duca
came up to Becir, playing around with his nose, as if trying to put it
back to normal.
Q. Approximately how far were you from Becir Medunjanin at that
moment?
A. Not more than a metre, because between Becir and me there was just
his son, Anes.
Q. Can you point out on that photograph once more approximately where
Anes Medunjanin's feet were and where Anes Medunjanin's head was at that
time?
A. His head was towards me and his legs towards his father, Becir.
Q. What happened after that?
A. Then all four of them started beating Becir, who was unconscious,
as well as his son Anes. And then Anes -- he was maybe 20 or 30
centimetres away from me -- he crawled up to me and came under my arm. He
crawled under my arm. He leaned his head against me.
Q. What, if anything, did you do at that time?
A. What could I do then? All I could do was watch, like the others.
That's all we could do.
Zoran Žigić je u haškom sudu osuđen na 25 godina zatvora. Nakon odležanih 16 godina i 8 mjeseci, pušten je na slobodu.Iz iskaza ovog svjedoka proizilazi da je Bećir
Medunjanin u logor Omarska doveden oko 10. juna 1992. godine, da je prije toga kratko
boravio u kasarni u Prijedoru, te da je Bećir Medunjanin od svog hapšenja do smrti bio
redovno premlaćivan, posebno nakon drugog ispitivanja, koje se desilo par dana po
dolasku u logor, kada je smješten u „bijelu kuću“. Nadalje, iz iskaza svjedoka K022
proizilazi da je, tom prilikom, stigla grupa od tri-četiri vojnika u maskirnim uniformama,
da se vrlo dobro sjeća dvojice koja su posebno tukla Bećira Medunjanina, imenujući iste
kao Dušan Knežević zvani Duća i Zoran Žigić. Opisujući premlaćivanje Bećira
Medunjanina od strane dva navedena vojnika, svjedok K022 je naveo da je Duća razbio
jednu školsku metalnu stolicu premlaćujući Medunjanina, a da je prilikom tuče koristio i
kratku palicu sa federima i metalnom kuglom na vrhu. Svjedok K022 je, prema njegovim
navodima, lično vidio navedeno premlaćivanje i stanje Bećira Medunjanina nakon
premlaćivanja, ističući da je Bećir Medunjanin bio isječen i crn po cijelom tijelu, da je
krvario na više mjesta i da je imao polomljene kosti. Svjedok K022 detaljno opisuje i
drugo premlaćivanje Bećira Medunjanina koje se desilo vrlo brzo poslije prvog
premlaćivanja, kada je navedeno lice faktički i podleglo od zadobijenih povreda.
Opisujući ovaj događaj, svjedok K022 je naveo da je stekao dojam da je tokom drugog
premlaćivanja Duća u logor došao sa odlukom da premlati Medunjanina do smrti, a
prema navodima ovog svjedoka, tukao ga je željeznim šipkama, nogama i drškom
pištolja. Kako je i sam svjedok K022 tom prilikom premlaćivan, isti je izgubio svijest, a
nakon što je došao svijesti imao je priliku vidjeti stanje Bećira Medunjanina nakon
premlaćivanja, opisujući da je bio u totalnoj nesvijesti, da nije mogao na noge, da je
počeo krkljati, te da je svjedok, nakon kratkog vremena, od strane dr. Ese Sadikovića,
koji je takođe bio zarobljenik u logoru, obaviješten da je Bećir Medunjanin umro.
Duško Knežević, zvani Duća, je najprije bio optužen pred haškim sudom, ali je njegov predmet ustupljen Sudu BiH. Sud BiH ga je osudio na 31 godinu dugotrajnog zatvora. Trenutno izdržava kaznu. U zatvoru je od 18. maja 2002.
