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).

SREBRENICA PHOTO STORY: ZELENI JADAR, AREA WHERE MANY CHILDREN WERE SHOT TO DEATH

ZELENI JADAR AREA YIELDS 5TH MASS GRAVE, MORE AWAITING TO BE EXCAVATED

INTRO: Zeleni Jadar is the area where many child victim remains were found. Children were shot to death, dumped into mass graves, and later relocated to secondary mass graves to cover the crime. As reported by the ICMP, children were aged between 7 and 11 years old. What you are about to see is yet another mass grave containing bodies of Srebrenica genocide victims that were summarily executed during Srebrenica massacre...
In a secondary mass grave Pusmulici near Srebrenica, expert team of the Institute for the search of missing persons of Tuzla Canton, revealed 79 human remains and two whole bodies, as it was confirmed by Danica Arapovic Kovac, prosecutor of Tuzla Canton prosecution. She added that this is the case of secondary mass grave but that there are indicators that it could be a tertiary mass grave which shows that bodies of people killed in Srebrenica in July 1995 were relocated twice. This is a fifth mass grave in the region of Zeleni Jadar out of which, three were examined by the Hague Tribunal experts.
