Former Bosniak Territorial Defence fighter Izet Arifovic was sentenced to ten years in prison for murdering civilians in the Srebrenica and Bratunac areas in 1992, and Suad Smajlovic jailed for a year and two months for mutilating the corpses.

In closing arguments at the Srebrenica genocide retrial of former Bosnian Serb battalion commander Ostoja Stanisic, the prosecution demanded a long sentence while the defendant insisted he was innocent.

The Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals, MICT has agreed to remove three judges from the appellate procedure in the case of the former Bosnian Serb Army commander Ratko Mladic.

Twenty-five years ago, an NGO began giving bereaved and traumatised Bosnian women a helping hand.

The UN court in The Hague said it plans to hand down the final verdict in December this year in the trial of former Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadzic, who is appealing against his initial conviction for genocide and other wartime crimes.

A protected witness told the court at the landmark trial in Belgrade for the Srebrenica killings how he witnessed the mass shooting of Bosniak men in a hangar in the village of Kravica in 1995. Belgrade Higher Court on Friday heard testimony from a protected witness codenamed ‘302’, a former Bosnian Serb fighter who described how Serb forces killed captured Bosniak men from Srebrenica in the nearby village of Kravica.

Over 30,000 Bosnians gathered at the Srebrenica Memorial Centre to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the genocide and pay their respects as 35 more victims were buried.

Denial of the Srebrenica genocide must end, unprosecuted perpetrators must be tried and schoolchildren must be taught the truth about the massacres in July 1995, says Dunja Mijatovic, the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights.

As the anniversary of Srebrenica approaches, Bosnian journalists recall how the shocking scale of the atrocities slowly became clear in July 1995 as information trickled out and the first eyewitnesses to the massacres spoke to reporters.
