Massacres of civilians were reported to the Special Rapporteur, allegedly committed by soldiers acting for the Government. The reports reffered to killings in the villages of Trusine on April 17, 1993; Miletici on April 24, 1993; Maljine on June 8, 1993; Doljani on June 27 and 28 [sic!] 1993; Bistrica in August 1993; Kriz and Uzdol on September 14, 1993; and Kopijari on October 21, 1993. The overall number of victims was conservatively estimated to be 120, but an exact total was not possible to verify. All the victims were Bosnian Croats, and none was reported to have offered armed resistance. In many cases there is evidence that the killings accompanied by protracted cruelty and mutilation of corpses. Eyewitnesses to the atrocities at Maljine, Doljani and Kopijari claimed that foreign irregular soldiers - so called "Mojahedin" - affiliated to the 7th Brigade of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina were responsible.
