Nicola Sturgeon

First Minister for Scotland

Srebrenica reminds us of the consequences that can arise when prejudice is not challenged, and discrimination is not addressed. We all have a part to play in creating a better, more tolerant and more peaceful world and we must celebrate the courage shown by so many during themes of conflict throughout the world by resisting hatred or division and speaking out to address injustice.

The theme ‘Acts of Courage’ serves as a fitting reminder of the importance of everyone in society recognising our shared responsibility to ensure that diversity is celebrated and protected. Everyone, regardless of their race, faith or nationality, should feel safe and be safe in their own communities.

“No blacks' graffiti painted on door of 10-year-old's Salford home”. Greater Manchester Police @gmpolice should have taken this seriously but so should all of us. Complacency can too easily slide into complicity https://t.co/Fzb20vTwV7

I hope that everyone celebrating today enjoys a meaningful #MaghaPuja with family and friends. Best wishes to all in the Buddhist community who are reflecting on the Ovādapatimokkha

He told police he “hated Muslims" & attacked the Sikh clerk because he believed “he's Muslim”. Deeply worrying times where current dehumanisation of Muslims by Western media & politicians is making anyone who is a Muslim, or "looks" Muslim, a target https://t.co/zkXr5afA46

Antisemitism is rising sharply across Europe, experts have said, as France reported a 74% increase in the number of offences against Jews last year and Germany said the number of violent antisemitic attacks had surged by more than 60% https://t.co/ey1lJ9TqMh

3. This is a phenomenon that was much wider than our village. There was no food in Srebrenica, and to a great extent, all the refugees survived by returning to their villages at night in big groups, risking everything, for about ten or twenty pounds of wheat, corn, anything.

Emir Suljagić@suljagicemir1

3. To je pojava koja je bila mnogo šira od našeg sela zapravo. U Srebrenici nije bilo hrane i sve izbjeglice su preživljavale u dobroj mjeri tako što su se noću u velikim grupama vraćala u svoja sela, rizikujući sve, za desetak ili dvadeset kila pšenice, kukuruza, bilo čega.

Theme for 2019 – Bridging the Divide: Confronting Hate
February 3, 2019

Every year Remembering Srebrenica selects a theme that both reflects an aspect of the genocide that must be commemorated, but also speaks to communities here in the UK.

Remembering Srebrenica Comment on the desecration of the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial
January 8, 2019

We are absolutely disgusted that a bag of pig entrails was left at the Srebrenica genocide memorial on Orthodox Christmas Eve followed by the singing of fascist songs. This stands in contrast with the true meaning of Christmas, being that of love and unity. This vile, Islamophobic behaviour is not an isolated event, but comes […]
