Former Leader of the Scottish Conservative & Unionist Party
Having been to Srebrenica and met both survivors of the massacre and relatives of the victims who died, it is so important that the world knows what happened there.
This genocide wasn’t part of some long-forgotten war in a country far away – it was right here on Europe’s shores in most people’s lifetimes.
We owe it to those who died to remember that event – and to work harder in our own countries to learn lessons and improve community relations.
Don’t forget to sign up if you have not already for this important event. The event will feature three child survivors from the areas of Srebrenica, Prijedor, and Sarajevo discussing their experiences of war and genocide, followed by a Q&A.

The use of dehumanising language, particularly by political leaders, has been identified as one the 10 steps to genocide. This article by @suljagicemir1 explores how it played a crucial role in the build-up to the genocide in Bosnia. https://t.co/IHfQ1alYP0
Mr Lawrence had a fantastic conversation with @SmajoBeso this morning and heard all about the amazing work that Smajo is doing to raise awareness of the Bosnian Genocide in schools in Newcastle. Thank you and congratulations! @SrebrenicaUK
