Home Primary Memorial day Messages of Support Prime Minister Boris Johnson

Prime Minister Boris Johnson

25 years ago, when the terrible conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina had been raging for 3 years, Europe witnessed the worst atrocity on its soil since the Second World War. Over 8,000 mainly Muslim men and boys were killed in the genocide at Srebrenica and more than 20,000 women and children were forcibly deported. 

I want to join with you once more in mourning the victims of those terrible events and to stand with the families in their fight for justice. As in so many cases from this conflict, which brought violence and destruction across the Western Balkans, many families still do not know what happened to their loved ones. Many perpetrators have still not been held to account and there are those who would prefer to forget or deny the enormity of what took place. We must not allow that to happen. We owe it to the victims and to future generations to remember Srebrenica and to ensure it never happens again. 

I’m proud of the role Britain has played over the past 25 years in the fight for justice, including the work carried out by British judges, lawyers and prosecutors. We will continue in that work, remaining by your side and working together to eliminate prejudice and discrimination so that we can create a safer and more hopeful future for everyone.

#OTD in 1993, Srdjan Aleksić intervened when he saw fellow Serbian soldiers beating his Bosniak Muslim neighbour, Alen Glavović. Sadly, because he intervened the soldiers then turned on him, leaving him so badly beaten that he fell into a coma. His heroic act saved Alen’s life.

These words by the young poet Amanda Gorman at the #InaugurationDay are a good reminder to us all. It takes bravery to be the light in the darkest of days.

“For there is always light, If only we're brave enough to see it. If only we're brave enough to be it.”
