TRIAL CHAMBER I ("the Chamber") of the International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since 1991 ("the Tribunal");

NOTING the "Decision on Defence Motions for Acquittal" dated 15 December 2000, (hereafter, "the Decision);

DECIDES that paragraph 52, first sentence, and paragraph 53, first and second sentences, of the Decision:

"52- In relation to counts 6 and 7 of the amended indictment, the accused Zigic submits that no evidence was presented of his involvement in the Petrovdan massacre in Keraterm camp on 24 July 1992 […]

53- The Chamber agrees with the Prosecutor that abundant evidence of the presence of the accused Zigic in the camps provides a basis upon which he could be found guilty of participation in the murders of Jasmin Izejiri and "Spija" Mesic and the victims of Petrovdan under a common purpose theory of liability¹. Therefore, the Chamber finds that there is sufficient evidence that could lead a reasonable court to convict the accused Zigic of crimes in relation to those events, and denies the Motion for Acquittal in so far as it concerns the murder of Jasmin Izeiri, "Spija" Mesic and the victims of Petrovdan. […]"
