Dragiša Kašiković

Dragiša Kašiković (Serbian Cyrillic: Драгиша Кашиковић; 9 August 1932 – 19 June 1977)[1] was a Bosnian Serb writer who came to international renown after he and his nine-year-old stepdaughter were murdered by the State Security Administration (UDBA) of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.[2] Kašiković was born on 9 August 1932, in Hadžići near Sarajevo in an upper-middle class Bosnian Serb family originally from Trebinje, East Herzegovina.After graduating high school, Kašiković enrolled in the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Law but was expelled due to his anti-communist and anti-regime beliefs.As a law school student in 1952, the District Court of Dubrovnik sentenced Kašiković to eight months of strict jail for attempting to illegally leave the country.In the early morning hours of 19 June 1977, Kašiković and his nine-year-old stepdaughter Ivanka Milosevich were brutally murdered in the Chicago headquarters[3] of the Sloboda newspaper by agents of the UDBA.
