Genocide in Bosnia – 30th Anniversary

Thirty years ago, in July 1995, against the backdrop of the ongoing war, Bosnian Serb troops and paramilitaries descended on the town of Srebrenica and murdered 8,000 Muslim men, and boys over 12 years old. The genocide at Srebrenica is the largest incidence of mass-murder in Europe since World War Two.
