The Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has sentenced a former Serb officer to 30 years in jail for the massacre of 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica.

Milorad Trbic, a former assistant commander for security, was found guilty of taking part in the persecution of Bosnian Muslims in the Srebrenica region as well as attempts to cover up traces of the crime.

The court concluded that he was one of the senior Yugoslav officials responsible for the detention, mass execution, and burial of the victims.

The presiding judge, Davorin Jukic said that Trbic had taken part in a "joint criminal enterprise" with other Serb army officers and organized the forcible transfer of Muslims from Srebrenica between July 10 and November 30, 1995.

Some 8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed in the Srebrenica genocide by Serb forces which captured the eastern enclave on July 11, 1995. The massacre is regarded as Europe's worst atrocity following the World War II era.

At the time of the genocide the United Nations had declared Srebrenica a "safe area" and stationed 400 armed Dutch troops in the region.

However the UN peacekeepers from the Netherlands did not intervene to stop the massacre, choosing to stand by and watch. Since then, human rights groups have launched attacks on the UN for its lack of intervention in Srebrenica.

Bosnian Serb leader of the time Radovan Karadzic and his military chief, General Ratko Mladic, are seen as the main perpetrators of the massacre, rape and torture of thousands of women and children, and ethnic cleansing in Srebenica.

After ten years on the run, Radovan Karadzic was finally caught in 2008 and handed over to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) at The Hague. Mladic, however, still remains at large.

Trbic, who also played a key role in the event, oversaw the detention of thousands of Muslims in several schools around Srebrenica, where they were kept in inhuman conditions, Jukic explained.

He then arranged their transportation to killing fields where they were executed in great numbers, the judge added.

He personally shot dead a group of "at least 20 Muslims" in the Grbavci School, and a group of "at least 5 Muslims" in the Rocevici School on two separate occasions.

The judge said that the former officer was involved in the removal of the victims' bodies from the mass graves they were originally buried in and their later transfer to "secondary mass graves" to conceal the crime.

Remains of more than 6,000 Srebrenica victims have been found in mass graves across eastern Bosnia. Up to 3,800 have been identified so far using DNA remains.

Despite finding him guilty of the above charges, Jukic refrained from referring to the crimes as genocide. This upset the victims' families who assumed that he had been acquitted of all such charges.

"The sentence was a reward for him. The court might as well have set him free," Hatidza Mehmedovic, who lost her husband and two sons in the massacre, told Reuters.

Although the court issued a statement clarifying the verdict later on, it failed to appease most of the relatives.

After the Bosnian 1992-95 war, Trbic escaped to the United States where he was detained and convicted for breaking immigration laws. In 2005 he was handed over to the ICTY.

The Hague-based court, which indicted Trbic on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and violations of laws or customs of war, handed him over to the Bosnian war crimes court so that the prosecution could begin in June 2007.

Fourteen years after the Bosnian war, an almost complete list of the victims that has been compiled by the Sarajevo-based Research and Documentation Center (IDC) will soon be released to the public on the internet.

According to data collected by the Sarajevo-based Research and Documentation Centre 98,000 people were killed in the Bosnian war - 57,000 soldiers and 40,000 civilians. Muslims accounted for 66 percent of the dead, Serbs for 25 and Croats for eight. Other sources have reported figures of up to 250 thousand.

There was no genocide in Srebrenica!!!

Srebrenica was a perfectly planned excuse for the NATO troops to start their "humanitarian" mission and invasion in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
About 2000 Muslim soldiers were terrorizing(or so to be precise killing them) the Serbian peasants region (men, women, oldmen, children) in the zone that was suppose to be protected by the UN. Then the Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladic, decided to stop the terror, and he entered into this UN protected zone and killed from 1200 to 2000 Muslim SOLDIERS (not women and children, because there were no women and children there, just soldiers).

Then US and NATO officials collected all the Serbian victims killed by these Muslim Soldiers, and these 1200-2000 Muslim soldiers and said - the genocide was committed in Srebrenica by the Serbian Muslims. This way they justified their intervention in the country.




"One question that anybody who takes up the critical study of the regnant narrative of the "Srebrenica massacre" always faces is 'why?'
As a field of research and inquiry, hasn't the basic outline of the events that befell the Srebrenica 'safe-area' population after the enclave was captured by the Bosnian Serb army on 11 July 1995 been well-established since the sec-ond-half of that year, when Western reporters such as the Christian Science Monitor's David Rohde allegedly stumbled upon a 'decomposing human leg pro-truding from the freshly turned dirt in a landscape that, Rohde claimed, he rec-ognized from 'spy-satellite photos' that had been faxed to him just days before by 'American officials'?
Why then would it occur to someone to challenge what appears to be well-known about the 'Srebrenica massacre ? And why should this task be of in-terest and importance to anyone outside survivors and a relatively small coterie of fanatics?
The critical study of the 'Srebrenica massacre' that Stephen Karganović collects in this volume is important because, taken as a whole, they show that within a very brief period of time — no longer than a handful of weeks — what had originated in self-serving wartime propaganda and whispers about an atroc-ity that symbolized Serb evil, became institutionalized as The Truth, effectively removing the actual event from inquiry, and placing it under seal in a sacrosanct realm of myth where it has flourished ever since.
Initially generated by a nexus between the NATO-bloc powers that had in-tervened on behalf of the Bosnian Muslim and Croat sides in the civil wars that destroyed the unitary Yugoslavia, and Western news media and human rights or-ganizations committed to proving the veracity of this wartime propaganda, the myth of the 'Srebrenica massacre has been re-institutionalized with every Sre-brenica-related judgment at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (e.g., Krstic in August 2001) as well as the International Court of Justice (February 2007).
As this book reminds us, it serves also as a "mass mobilisation vehicle" every year during the 11 July internment ceremony at the Srebrenica-Potocari Memorial and Cemetery for the Victims of the 1995 Genocide, where yet new layers of propaganda are laid upon the propaganda of the earlier years.
It is of course also one of the two most frequently cited symbolic blood-baths in the Western canon (the other being Rwanda 1994) whenever someone invokes the 'Never again imperative of the Nazi holocaust to urge the great powers towards 'humanitarian intervention , the 'responsibility to protect , and most recently 'mass atrocity response operations'.

Because this 'Srebrenica massacre', with its alleged 8,000 victims, con-formed so well to framework of what could be expected from the monster Serbs held responsible for the wars, very few inquiries into the real, if far smaller, massacres and executions carried out against the males of the fleeing 'safe area population have ever been undertaken.
This is why the critical study of the 'Srebrenica massacre undertaken here is vital and stands as a far more honest tribute to these real victims than does the vast literature which it challenges and helps to overturn.
There is a further pertinent question to answer: why has it taken so long for the core facts about Srebrenica, so clearly expressed in this book, to be collected in this way?
The answer comes in two parts. First, the process of international investi-gation and prosecution was very slow and much of the 'evidence supporting the judgements handed down by the ICTY was not revealed in any form until years after the events.
Second, few people have tried to make an independent assessment of what happened. For example, of all the journalists who have ever written or broadcast about Srebrenica, only a handful appear to have made any real efforts to investi-gate the official account. It has, as a result, been solely through the efforts of a loose collaboration of individuals around the world that we now have a thorough analysis of what happened in July 1995.
Predictably, many attacks have been made on these people. They have been repeatedly accused of genocide denial. Serious attempts have been made, in Europe and elsewhere, to criminalise their investigative efforts.
The collaborations which have finally led to the publication of this book have developed almost entirely by chance. In the UK a number of us began to collect reports and broadcasts, building a chronology of events and a back-ground database. We did this separately at first, but by 1995, thanks to the for-mer "Observer" journalist Nora Beloff, a group of us were in touch with one an-other, exchanging information and ideas.
We had become quite an efficient monitoring machine by the time the Bosnian Serb Army took control of Srebrenica in July 1995. We archived hun-dreds of reports. As we went along, we noted many pieces of information which conflicted with the consensus narrative in the media in the UK, the USA and Europe.
We were conscious of Srebrenica s short-term political importance in drawing attention away from the US-backed invasion of Krajina and the final abandon-ment of the international 'neutrality', which led to the ending of the civil wars and the terms imposed at Dayton in November. But we did not yet foresee the full extent to which the 'Srebrenica massacre would become the most complete symbol of Serbian evil in the Balkan conflicts. Our work was therefore much more widely focused until at least 1997, and was further diverted by the Kosovo
war in 1999.
Our network was gradually expanding. Through the internet, people re-searching aspects of the Balkan conflicts eventually became aware of each other and often made contacts that would lead to new partnerships.
One such development was the Srebrenica Research Group1, an interna¬tional collective brought together by Professor Edward Herman in the summer of 2003. This was not only a platform for the free exchange of knowledge, informa¬tion and ideas, but a determined attempt to investigate exactly what had hap-pened on the basis of academic rigour.
The work of the group was exciting and, I think, highly productive. The out-come was in my opinion about the best analysis that could be made on the basis of available information. Our constraint was that we had no resources beyond the lim¬ited amounts of our own time we could devote to Srebrenica research. And we cer-tainly had no means of carrying out our own fundamental investigations.
In September 2008 I was contacted by Stephen Karganović, who had re-cently set up the Srebrenica Historical Project. Based in Holland, this organisa-tion had secured funding to mount conferences and to commission its own inves-tigations and expert analysis of key questions about Srebrenica.
The extent and quality of the work done by the SHP since that time has been remarkable. In a little over two years they have taken on a range of chal-lenges that would daunt the most skilled data crunchers. I believe this work has rewritten the Srebrenica narrative decisively.
The purpose of this Introduction is not to summarise the many revelations published on the pages that follow. It is, rather, to commend this book in the strongest terms. This collection demonstrates that the stories about 'the worst war crime in Europe since the 2nd World War are fictions, unrelated to what took place.
It is vital that the unadorned truth about the Balkan conflicts should be freed from the lies and misrepresentations that have characterised the first draft of this history. Only then can there be some kind of genuine process of truth and reconciliation in the aftermath of the Balkan wars. This work provides a plat-form from which such a process can begin.

Do the Maths !

40,000 population
38,000 Srebrenica residents survived
2000 killed in the fighting

Additionally 3000 Muslim soldiers fought and fled to Muslim held lines near Tuzla.

While it is true, that "hundreds" of Muslim Soldiers was executed by paramilitary units and a mercenary group, and of course deserves condemnation, it is not on the scale of the Myth. Unfortunately, such atrocities do occur in most wars which is why we should oppose the mindless cartoon portrayal and worshipping of War and 'our boys' garbage.


The premise that Serbian forces executed 7,000 to 8,000 people “was never a possibility,” according to former BBC journalist Jonathan Rooper, who has investigated the events that followed the capture of Srebrenica on site and through official records over many years, and whose findings are presented in the upcoming report of the Srebrenica Research Group.  He notes that by the first week of August 1995, 35,632 people had registered with the World Health Organization and Bosnian Government as displaced persons, survivors of Srebrenica, a figure, which was later referred to Amnesty International report and the report of the Dutch government.

 

Rooper notes that at International Committee of the Red Cross and the New York Times reported that about 3000 Muslim soldiers who fought their way across Serb held territory to Muslim lines near Tuzla, were also survivors. The ICRC confirmed that these soldiers were redeployed by the Bosnian Army “without their families being informed.”  The figure of 3000 soldiers who survived was also confirmed by Muslim General Enver Hadzihasanovic who testified at the Hague. These figures make it clear that at least 38,000 Srebrenica residents survived out of a population of 40,000 before the capture of the enclave. Around 2000 Muslims who fled with the 28th division were killed, most by fighting, but also hundreds executed by paramilitary units and a mercenary group.

yes I agree, hundreds of Muslim soldiers were killed by Serbian palamiritary units. Like hundreds of Serbs were killed by Muslim paramilitary units. But those were paramilitary units, not the regular Serbian army of Republika Srpska.
That is the main point. They (new world order folks) are trying to raise  the number of the killed muslims, so that they can claim the genocide happen. And trying to convince the public that all those killings were done by regular Serbian army of Republika Srpska (with Mladic and Karadzic as leaders of it). Only in this way thay can prove their invasion and using Srebrenica apparent genocide as an excuse for invading Bosna and Herzegovina.

Srebrenica was a well planned and scened event by NWO bastards

P.S.

Did you know that EUFOR (European Union soldiers) are using some lakes (Buško, Ramsko, Jablaničko...) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for damping nuclear waste?
This is only one in a row of all the things NWO got by occupying Bosnia and Herzegovina - using it as junk yard for their nuclear waste.
