DID YOU KNOW?  -- Three years before the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide, Serbs torched Bosniak villages and killed at least 3,166 Bosniaks around Srebrenica. In 1993, the UN described the besieged situation in Srebrenica as a "slow-motion process of genocide." In July 1995, Serbs forcibly expelled 25,000 Bosniaks, brutally raped many women and girls, and systematically killed 8,000+ men and boys (DNA confirmed).

SERB CRIMES AROUND SREBRENICA: In 1992, three years before the Srebrenica massacre, Serbs committed horrendous crimes against the Bosniak civilians around Srebrenica. The mass killings of Bosnian Muslim civilians particularly defenceless children - around Srebrenica in 1992 was a prelude to the 1995 Srebrenica genocide. According to the Naser Oric trial judgement,

"Between April 1992 and March 1993, Srebrenica town and the villages in the area held by Bosnian Muslims were constantly subjected to Serb military assaults, including artillery attacks, sniper fire, as well as occasional bombing from aircrafts. Each onslaught followed a similar pattern. Serb soldiers and paramilitaries surrounded a Bosnian Muslim village or hamlet, called upon the population to surrender their weapons, and then began with indiscriminate shelling and shooting. In most cases, they then entered the village or hamlet, expelled or killed the population, who offered no significant resistance, and destroyed their homes. During this period, Srebrenica was subjected to indiscriminate shelling from all directions on a daily basis. Potočari in particular was a daily target for Serb artillery and infantry because it was a sensitive point in the defence line around Srebrenica. Other Bosnian Muslim settlements were routinely attacked as well. All this resulted in a great number of refugees and casualties."



SRPSKI ZLOČINI OKO SREBRENICE: 1992 godine, tj. tri godine prije Srebreničkog masakra, Srbi su počinili užasne zločine nad bošnjačkim civilima oko Srebrenice. Masovna ubistva civila Bosanskih muslimana - naročito djece - 1992 godine u okolini Srebrenice su bila uvod u Srebrenički genocid koji se desio 1995 godine. Prema prvostepenoj presudi Naseru Oriću:

"Između aprila 1992. i marta 1993, grad Srebrenica i okolna sela pod kontrolom bosanskih Muslimana bili su neprestano meta srpskih vojnih napada artiljerijom, snajperima, a povremeno i bombardovanjem iz zraka. Svi napadi su vršeni po sličnom obrascu. Srpska vojska i paravojne snage okružili bi selo ili zaselak bosanskih Muslimana, pozvali bi stanovništvo da preda oružje, a tada bi započeli sa granatiranjem i pucnjavom ne birajući ciljeve. U većini slučajeva, ušli bi u selo ili zaselak, protjerali ili poubijali stanovnike, koji nisu pružali značajniji otpor, i uništili njihove domove. U tom razdoblju, Srebrenica je svakodnevno bila izložena nasumičnom granatiranju iz svih pravaca. Naročito su Potočari bili svakodnevna meta srpske artiljerije i pješadije jer su bili važna tačka u odbrambenoj liniji oko Srebrenice. Druga naselja bosanskih Muslimana takođe su neprekidno napadana. Rezultat svega toga bio je veliki broj izbjeglica i stradalih."



СРПСКИ ЗЛОЧИНИ ОКО СРЕБРЕНИЦЕ: 1992 године, тј. три године прије Сребреничког масакра, Срби су починили ужасне злочине над бошњачким цивлима око Сребренице. Масовна убиства цивила Босанских муслимана - нарочито дјеце - 1992 године у околини Сребренице су била увод у Сребренички геноцид који се десио 1995 године. Према првостепеној пресуди Насеру Орићу:

"Између априла 1992. и марта 1993, град Сребреница и околна села под контролом босанских Муслимана били су непрестано мета српских војних напада артиљеријом, снајперима, а повремено и бомбардовањем из зрака. Сви напади су вршени по сличном обрасцу. Српска војска и паравојне снаге окружили би село или заселак босанских Муслимана, позвали би становништво да преда оружје, а тада би започели са гранатирањем и пуцњавом не бирајући циљеве. У већини случајева, ушли би у село или заселак, протјерали или поубијали становнике, који нису пружали значајнији отпор, и уништили њихове домове. У том раздобљу, Сребреница је свакодневно била изложена насумичном гранатирању из свих праваца. Нарочито су Поточари били свакодневна мета српске артиљерије и пјешадије јер су били важна тачка у одбрамбеној линији око Сребренице. Друга насеља босанских Муслимана такође су непрекидно нападана. Резултат свега тога био је велики број избјеглица и страдалих."
