I just remembered it.

So in fact you are giving us bit by bit what happened.

I am telling you everything I remember as I remember it.

When did you remember going there?

Yesterday.

I’m not asking you what you remembered yesterday, and don’t look at the prosecution, please.

Why shouldn’t I look at the prosecution?

Judge Banda urged, Counsel, go ahead with your questions. We are observing the witness here.

He said, Witness, I’m interested in knowing why you introduce new circumstances and new facts into the case.

Judge Banda said, Counsel, the witness has already explained that she gave explanations of the incidents as she remembered them.

Mataruga said, Your Honour, she responded that she decided to tell the truth when she came to court.

Ask her directly. I’m sure she has understood everything that you have said.

He turned back to Edina. Do I have to repeat the question or have you understood?

Repeat.

You said that you decided to tell the whole truth when you came before the Trial Chamber. This means that you did not tell the whole truth in your statements.

No, it does not mean that. Eight years ago, when I gave my first statement, I was ashamed and injured. I did not remember certain events. Now I remember more. Mr. Mataruga, I am an attorney. I know the importance of the whole truth. Perhaps you don’t understand our language.

I do understand our language very well. But never mind. You said you stayed one night at a soldier’s parents’ house. He introduced you to his parents using a different name.

Where is your question? I had no choice. He said he would kill me. I had to meet his parents and pretend. He raped me on his childhood bed when the parents went out. Then other soldiers came in and they all raped me.

The gang rape, was it painful?

Yes.

How did this make you feel?

Dead.

Did you ever consider fleeing from the house?

How? There were soldiers everywhere. Every night they told us who they killed. They gave us their bloodstained uniforms to wash. They said no one would survive to tell the truth.

Did you see Mr. Dragić at the Lepa Brena apartments?

Yes, with PW-187.

How often?

Often. One time he had a car accident on the way and his ribs were damaged and I had to bandage him and he said, I wonder if you cast a curse on me. I thought, I would have cursed you with death, not a cracked rib.

Do not talk about made-up things like a curse.

He said the curse, not me.

How did you feel?

I was in a continual state of shock. Waiting to be raped or killed. How would you feel?

Your Honour, she asks questions.

Counsel, we are aware. Go ahead.

So you were living in an apartment with Mr. Dragić and his friends, cooking, washing, in fact keeping house for them. He tells the story differently. He claims he wanted to help you but you would not stop kissing him. That you took advantage of him.
