Stipo Brdarić
Stipo Brdarić was born in 1956 in Torjanci, in Baranja. At the beginning of the war in the 1990s he was in Beli Manastir with his family. His father and mother remained living in Torjanci, a settlement with a majority Croatian population. His father was rated 100% disabled. After the beginning of the attack on Beli Manastir, Stipo Brdarić, together with his family, took shelter at his parents' home in Torjanci. During one visit to Beli Manastir, where he went to check up on his house, he was arrested and imprisoned. After four days of torture he was exchanged and he then went to Hungary with his wife and child, where he underwent treatment. His wife and child stayed in Hungary in refuge, whilst he returned and joined the Croatian Army. His parents, who stayed in Torjanci, were killed after having been heavily tortured. Their bodies were found and exhumed in 1998. He returned to Beli Manastir with his family, following peaceful reintegration in 1998. His attempts to establish culpability for the killing of his parents were unsuccessful. Those responsible remain unpunished.
