On today’s date in 1992, over 124 Bosniak Muslims were massacred at Hrastova Glavica near Sanski Most. The people, who were massacred and then thrown in a mass grave which would be discovered in 1998, were detainees of the Omarska and Keraterm concentrated camps.
We remember.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to everyone affected by the colossal explosion in Beirut that has caused injury to thousands and killed many others. We stand with you in solidarity.
#PrayForLebanon
The survivors of Srebrenica and all people of Bosnia should be entitled to mourn and grieve in peace. Unfortunately, under Dodik’s regime in Republika Srpska this seems to be impossible. This targeting of the 25th commemoration of the genocide is atrocious and must be condemned.
This is a new low even by their standards: the Bosnian Serb police used a mobile surveillance unit to target dignitaries attending the 25 commemoration of genocide in Potočari. https://t.co/7poebRYpMY
