GENOCIDE DENIER JUDGE FLUGGE REMOVED FROM KARADZIC CASE

UPDATE @ 12/12/2012: We welcome Judge Christoph Flugge's acknowledgement that genocide took place in Srebrenica. Dear Judge, thank you for aligning your opinion with the facts. You have our respect!

JUSTICE SERVED. GENOCIDE DENIER REMOVED FROM THE BENCH.

WE WON! As a result of Congress of North American Bosniaks' opposition to Judge Flugge's genocide denial comments, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia has removed this German judge from the Karadzic case on September the 4th!

ICTY finally responded to our E-mail and notified us about the court's decision today - just two days after we launched a new campaign against a highly controversial German judge on record for denying the Srebrenica genocide, Judge Christoph Flugge.

(9 Sept 2009) - UPDATE from ICTY web site:
"I would first like to address some inaccurate reporting regarding the composition of the trial bench in the case of Radovan Karadžić. Following Judge Bonomy’s departure, the bench was recomposed and now includes Judge O-Gon Kwon, presiding, Judge Melville Baird, Judge Howard Morrison and Judge Flavia Lattanzi as Reserve Judge."

SREBRENICA 1992-1995: From 1992-1995 Serbs from heavily militarized villages around Srebrenica had forced approximately 40,000 Bosnian Muslim refugees to live in the Srebrenica ghetto with little or no means of survival. Furthermore, Serbs around Srebrenica had terrorized Srebrenica population by constantly attacking neighbouring Bosnian Muslim villages. In July 1995 the Bosnian Serb army staged a brutal takeover of Srebrenica and its surrounding area, where they proceeded to perpetrate genocide. Bosnian Serb soldiers separated Bosniak families, forcibly expelled 25,000-30,000 Bosniaks, and summarily executed at least 8,372 Bosnian Muslims - boys, men, and elderly.
