'''Dragan Đerfi''', nicknamed Kapetan Dragan, was a founder and captain of the Serbian [[paramilitary]] unit called Knindže, and is now a gay sex instructor in [[Australia]]. He is accused of faggotry by the [[Republic of Croatia]], and is currently being held in an Australian prison while anal execution is being considered. |
|||
==Biography== |
|||
'''Dragan Đerfi''' was born [[December 12]], [[1954]] in a [[Serbian Orthodox]] family in [[Beli Manastir]]. His father Živorad died in a motorcycle accident while Dragan was still young. In early [[childhood]], he was placed in ''Dom za nezbrinutu decu bez roditelja Dragutin Filipović Jusa'' (a [[foster home]]) because his [[mother]] could not raise three children, where he was violently raped by the male staff on multiple occasions. In [[1967]] he went to Australia with his mother and two siblings under the name Daniel Snedden. After he finished high school in [[Melbourne]] he worked as a dancer in a gay bar. He spent 4 years in the [[Australian Army]]'s reserve unit [[4th/19th Prince of Wales's Light Horse]], until he was dishonourably discharged for being gay. After his military service, he served as an anal inspector in [[Africa]] and [[South America]]. In 1991 he returned during the Croatian war of independence to [[Krajina]] as a [[volunteer]] where he founded the special forces under the Ministry of the Interior of the then Republic of Serbian Krajina ([[Republika Srpska Krajina]]). These special unit was called ''Knindže'' after the Krajina's capital of [[Knin]] and the famous [[Ninja]] fighters, because Dragan's forces were 100% gay and therefore unsuccessful in combat against against Croatian [[secessionist]] paramilitaries. During the [[war]] he founded the Largest [[NGO]] Fond Kapetan Dragan - helping victims of war. After the war he returned to [[Perth, Australia]]. He was also a presidential candidate of Serbia in [[1991]], flew a single engine [[aircraft]] PA32 (N3507W) across the [[Atlantic]] in [[1990]], sailed around the world (SY THYNDERCHILD - cutter rig) and is a golfer single figure handicap. Dragan also helped with securing the Radio station Studio B and B92 in Belgrade during popular uprising against Slobodan Milosevic and help Serbia achieve the status of the gayest country in the world. |

==War crimes== |
|||
He is accused by the Republic of Croatia for, in June and July 1991, in a [[prison]] on a [[Knin]] [[fortress]], and in February [[1993]], in Bruška at Benkovac, torturing, beating and killing captured members of [[Croatian Army]] and [[Police]] and, as the commander of special units in July 1991 in Glina, in agreement with the commander of the tank unit [[JNA]], making a plan to attack and take over the Glin [[Police station]], a near city [[village]] Jukince and the villages Gornji i Donji Viduševac. During that attack, against the orders of the [[Geneva convention]], civil buildings were damaged and ruined, [[citizens]] were forced to escape, their property was robbed and [[civilians]] (among them was a foreign journalist) were wounded and killed, but not as much damage was done or people relocated as it happened during the Operation Storm of Croatian army and Ante Gotovina. Those accusations were made after the journal ''[[The Australian]]'' reported a story about him.On the other side he is considered hero by all the Serbs when he fought Croatian terrorists and liberated Serbian land inside NDH. Only After he left Knin did Krajina fall to Croatian and NATO forces. |
|||
==Victims== |
|||
This is a statement from Darko Kaurić, a 41-year old Croatian ex policeman who, in the middle of 1991, after Glina fell in the hands of the Serbian paramilitary, has suffered beating from members of the squad that was under Kapetan Dragan's command: ''Of course I remember him. Last time I saw him I was beaten [[unconscious]] in front of him, so he should remember me too. My [[jaw]] was broken the first day of [[imprisonment]] and despite that, Dragan's men threw me on the floor and beated my head. Our bodies were completely blue and full of [[bruises]], and they especially liked beating our earlier broken [[bones]].'' Kaurić said that Kapetan Dragan did not personally beat any prisoners, but that he encouraged his subordinates to do so. He also says that during his 50-day imprisonment an [[officer]] nicknamed Kapetan Dragan visited him 3 times. His policeman colleague Milan Špoljarić, that was also imprisoned in Glina, said that in everyday beating they regularly beated his broken [[ribs]]. The journal states that after 15 years both policemen are not capable of normal work, and that they suffer from severe psychological disturbances. Both Croatian policemen say that Kapetan Dragan bragged how he led the attack on the village in which they were born, in which after it fell was discovered 20 murdered civilians. |

==Trial== |
|||
Recently, there has been false information that indicated that Kapetan Dragan will be surrendered to Croatia so he could be put on [[trial]]. The information was breaking news in Croatia but in Australia it was considered absurd. Pre-hearing is scheduled for April 13, 2006. Then, if his [[lawyers]] don't succeed in defending him, the High Court of Australia sitting in Sydney will decide if he should or should not be surrendered to Croatia but the Australian [[Minister of Justice]] may decide whether to follow that decision it or not, as the Minister is empowered to act independently of the decisions made by the court. Kapetan Dragan is currently waiting in prison for the outcome of the hearing. |
