Pavilion 22 at the Zabreb Fair, Croatia

From October to December 1991, members of the reserve forces of MUP RH illegally detained civilians in the Zagreb area who were then abused and tortured at Pavilion 22 of the Zagreb Fair. After suffering physical and mental torture, the civilians were taken to Pakračka Poljana where they were killed.

On 12 May 2016, the Zagreb County Court delivered its judgement against Tomislav Merčep, finding him guilty of war crimes against the civilian population and sentencing him to five and a half years in prison.
On 2 February 2017, the Supreme Court partially upheld the appeal of the acting state attorney and increased the first-instance sentence from five and a half to seven years in prison. As stated in the judgement, Tomislav Merčep was the de facto commander of the
MUP RH reserve forces stationed at the Zagreb Fair and Pakračka Poljana and an advisor at the MUP of Croatia. He was found guilty of the unlawful arrests and abuse of 31 civilians brought from Zagreb, Kutina, Ribnjak, Janja Lipa, Bujavica, Međurići, Zbjegovača and Pakračka Poljana, of which 23 were killed.
