War crimes

In 2017, a couple of members of the Leva Supoderica unit were convicted for the deaths of more than 200 Croatian civilians at the Ovčara camp.[5]

The Leva Supoderica unit along with the Vukovar Territorial Defense (TO) tortured around 20 Croatian prisoners that had been sent to the Ovčara camp. Once the Yugoslav People’s Army withdrew to relieve the besieged barracks and other reasons, the Leva Supoderica unit and the Vukovar TO detained the Croatian prisoners and led them to a mass grave, where 10-20 were killed between 20 and 21 November 1991.[6][7]
