Berak killings

During the September 1991 Yugoslav Campaign in Croatia, JNA, local Krajina Serb forces and various paramilitary groups attacked and occupied several villages in Eastern Slavonia and Croatian Syrmia (modern-day Vukovar-Srijem County) during the JNA-led offensive against Vukovar and adjacent areas.[3] Over the following months, until December 1991, Serb forces routinely abused, killed and expelled the Croat inhabitants who remained in the village.Croat civilians were killed in their homes, in the streets or in a detention camp set up by Serb forces during the occupation.[3][better source needed] During the killings, the local Catholic Church of the Martyrdom of St. John the Baptist was vandalised and used as a bar for the Scorpions paramilitaries to consume alcohol.Dropping the war crimes charges, it modified the indictment to accuse Eror of a ‘criminal act of armed rebellion’.
