- Voćin_massacre abstract "The Voćin massacre was the killing of 43 civilians, mostly Croats, by the Serbian White Eagles paramilitary unit in Voćin, Croatia on 13 December 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence. The massacre was carried out after the unit was ordered to abandon the village before the Croatian Army (Hrvatska vojska – HV) recaptured the area in Operation Papuk-91. The unit generally targeted Croats living in the village, but also killed a Serb civilian who tried to protect others. Most of the victims were killed by gunfire, but some of them were killed with axes or chainsaws, or were burned to death. The victims exhibited signs of torture and were left unburied. On the night of 13/14 December, the unit also demolished a 550-year old church in the village using explosives.The HV secured Voćin on the night of 14/15 December, the Serb population having left the previous night. Afterwards, Croatian soldiers torched many homes belonging to the Serbs who had once inhabited the village. The area was toured by US Congressman Frank McCloskey shortly afterwards. McCloskey publicised the killings at a news conference held in Zagreb the next day, deeming them genocide. He then persuaded Jerry Blaskovich, an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Southern California Los Angeles County Hospital Medical Center to take part in the investigation of the killings. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) later charged Slobodan Milošević with the killings and Vojislav Šešelj with the deportation of non-Serbs from Voćin.".
