Mehri Niknam MBE

Executive Director, Joseph Interfaith Foundation (2005-2019)

“Although the experience of visiting Srebrenica shook me to the core and made me weep in sorrow, it also emboldened my resolve to do my utmost to bring its lessons to the attention of young people. We must learn to confront religious and historical prejudices which lead to this unspeakable massacre, so that it never happens again.”

Watching the #BAFTA tonight? Look out for the superb ‘Quo Vadis, Aida?’ directed by Jasmila Zbanic, available on @PrimeVideo. It tells the story of the #Srebrenica genocide through the perspective of a UN interpreter @RemSrebScot @SrebrenicaUK #BAFTAs https://t.co/EVOshJ1ixK

"It was natural to be with those who were attacked, who did not have weapons," Divjak told AFP in 2017, rejecting the "good Serb" label.
"The idea of a multi-ethnic Bosnian army had won me over," he added.

Another sad loss this week. What an impressive man Dragi Jovo was.

In Bratunac this morning, a town near Srebrenica where numerous Bosniak-Muslims were ethnically cleansed and murdered, a sign wishing a happy birthday to Ratko Mladic, the convicted genocidal war criminal, was hung up. Genocide glorification continues.
