Survivor Stories 4
The Courage to Remember: Safet Vukalić
Safet Vukalić was saved from a concentration camp by his mother, who said he was too young to go “with the men”. Safet came to the UK as a refugee and has courageously shared his story.
The Courage to Build Bridges: Zoran Mandlbaum
Zoran Mandlbaum was one of the last people to cross the Mostar bridge before it was destroyed, whilst bringing aid to the Muslims trapped on the East bank of the city.
The Courage to Speak Out: Hasan Nuhanović
Hasan Nuhanović was a translator for the UN when Serb forces took Srebrenica in July 1995. Forced to translate the order to send his family away, he never saw them again. He has dedicated his life to seeking truth and justice.
The Courage to Survive: ‘Mirsada’
At the age of 15, 'Mirsada' was imprisoned in a rape camp as part of the campaign of 'ethnic cleansing' taking place across Bosnia. She has shown incredible courage to survive, raise a family and now tells us her story.
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
