“Initially, violence has dominated by conflict- has descended from conflict. This has been a violence that had begun for several weeks and houses that were clearly burned were Serb houses or houses that formerly had Serbs”, he said, the “Justice Vow betroth “.
When asked who was doing these acts of violence, Duncan said it was hard to say because he has not seen armed troops do so.
It's hard to say because I haven't seen armed troops do that, just regular unarmed people. (it was like a kind of retribution) to get revenge when you know what happened. I got reports from NGOs and other organizations too, and you see it with your own eyes. You can imagine why people do this. It's beyond trust and honor. These usually happen at the end of a” war, he said.
The Witness underlined that the violence exercised was originally by Serbs, who Albanians were taking revenge.
“Expiation for the atrocities they have suffered. The atrocities Serbs have committed against Kosovo Albanians. The violence was initially exercised by Serbs and the violence I saw there was being done by Kosovo Albanians”, he said.
Duncan pointed out that these people were ordinary people, and this violent violence was not organized. While denying that he saw any KLA soldiers participate in such actions.
In addition, a statement by Wesley Clark, issued on August 14, 1999, was read to the witness, who said there is no evidence that after the violence they are the KLA. In addition, he had said their leader has been very cooperative with them and has called for a break of violence.
Duncan said Clark has himself been instructed in this statement and that his views are similar in this regard. /Periscope/
