A WAR-CRIMES TRIAL THAT NOBODY WATCHED

摘要

Esad Landzo, a 25-year-old Bosnian, lowers his head and fidgets in his seat. He struggles to find words. Though he looks like an embarrassed choirboy in his dark blue suit, it turns out he has courted the devil. "It's true, I burned the prisoner's hand," he begins. "We wanted to teach him a lesson." In a high-pitched monotone, he describes how he beat some prisoners with a baseball bat and a steel bar. He held a gun against the heads of others. He commanded two brothers to have oral sex, then placed ropes around their penises and set the ropes afire.
