Srebrenica massacre survivors denounce hatred 30 years on
Survivors of the Srebrenica massacre have shared their personal stories at NSW state parliament, in the lead-up to the 30th anniversary of the genocide. Approximately 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed, following the town's seizure by Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995. The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia determined the killings constitute genocide.
30 years ago, Serbian units took nearly 400 soldiers from the United Nations Protection Force as hostages. This sealed the fate of the UN protection zones Srebrenica and Žepa. This was followed by the first genocide in Europe after 1945.
On Wednesday evening, Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre spoke at a memorial concert to mark 30 years since the Srebrenica massacre. It means a lot, says the Bosnia and Herzegovina Association in Norway.
