Stojan Župljanin

Stojan Župljanin Стојан Жупљанин (born 28 September 1951) is a former Bosnian Serb police commander.

Župljanin was born in 1951 in Maslovare, a village in Bosnia-Herzegovina, then Yugoslavia. As commander of the Bosnian Serb police during the Bosnian Serb war, Župljanin had operational control over the police forces responsible for the detention camps where thousands of prisoners were allegedly held in horrific conditions and many were murdered. Župljanin is also alleged to have played a central role in the destruction of Bosnian Muslim and Bosnian Croat communities in the Autonomous Region of Krajina.

In October 2005, Župljanin's home was raided by local police and by EU peacekeepers, but they failed to find him. He was finally arrested on 11 June 2008 not far from Belgrade.

He is charged with genocide; crimes against humanity; violations of the laws or customs of war; grave breaches of the Geneva Convention.
