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).

SARAJEVO TERRORIST DRAGOMIR MILOSEVIC GETS ONLY 29 YEARS, 4 YEARS CUT ON APPEAL

Imagine this: Bosnian Serb General Dragomir Milosevic laughed after the Court gave him a slap on the wrist. The Appeals Chamber, presided by a very biased Judge Fausto Pocar cut Milosevic's sentence by 4 years. Pocar happens to be the same judge who reversed Vidoje Blagojevic's Srebrenica genocide conviction. ↓


Serbs still responsible for the Sarajevo Markale massacre:
Today, the Appeals Chamber reduced Dragomir Milosevic's sentence from 33 to only 29 years. His earlier convictions on counts of terrorism, murder and other inhumane acts - conducted during Sarajevo's terror campaign of sniping and shelling - have been partially upheld. Apparently, he was receiving medical treatment in Belgrade between 6 August and 10 September 1995, so the appellate judges acquitted him for ordering the shelling of the Markale Market on 28 August same year. He laughed. The prosecution's request for life imprisonment was effectively dismissed. Serbian ultra-nationalists will probably use the latest acquittal as an ammunition to continue arguing that the Markale Market massacre was "staged"; however, the Serb Army still remains responsible for this atrocious crime. The Appeals Chamber DID NOT reverse the earlier [Trial Chamber's] finding that the Serb Army was responsible for the Markale Market massacre. The Appeals Chamber simply acquitted Gen Milosevic for ordering the attack, because he was not in Sarajevo at the time of the massacre. Instead, the position of authority on the ground belonged to the Chief of Staff, Čedomir Sladoje (source: Appeals Judgement). ↓
