context_page_description: Sulejman Hafiz Pačariz was an Islamic cleric and Bosniak commander of the Sandžak Muslim militia from Hisardžik during the Second World War.
  When the Germans took over control over Sandžak in 1943, Pačariz was appointed as the commander of the SS Polizei-Selbstschutz-Regiment Sandschak. Forces under his command were referred to as Pačarizovci. He allegedly led his forces while riding a black horse.
  During the final days of World War II in 1945, Pačariz was captured, put on trial, and was found guilty for massacres of civilians and subsequently was executed as a war criminal as a result.
