1982, a Roman Catholic nun from Croatia came to stay with the nuns as their guest. She wanted to see the ancient altar screen and some ancient holy books preserved in the convent. One day, while returning to the monastery from a visit to two of her acquaintances, also Catholic nuns, she was stopped by three young Albanians who raped her, beat her up and robbed her. She obtained a medical certificate from a Ugandan doctor, Dr. Sirijaza, who was practising there. However, no action was taken against the thugs who were from the village of Rakovac. The police chief inspector there declared that, in his opinion "the rape of a nun is not a rape at all". He merely took the gold chain and cross which the thugs had taken from the nun and returned them to her.
