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).

FORGOTTEN 1992 KARAKAJ MASSACRE, 700 BOSNIAK CIVILIANS SYSTEMATICALLY KILLED NEAR ZVORNIK

As of  August 4, 2011, Wikipedia still does not
 have a single entry for the 1992 Karakaj Massacre

1992 KARAKAJ MASSACRE: Between the end of May and beginning of June 1992 -- three years before the 1995 Srebrenica massacre -- Serbs systematically slaughtered 700 Bosniak civilians in Karakaj area, near Zvornik. There was only one survivor of this massacre and his name is Fedahija Hasanovic. You may wish to read initial news reporting on the 1992 Karakaj Massacre by Dan Stets of The Spokesman-Review, dated 24 June 1992.

Here is a testimony of Fedahija Hasanovic in Bosnian language: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. (note: this documentary puts the figure of killed at 750)

Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic are not charged for this horrible crime, because they have a right to speedy trial. According to the International Criminal Tribunal at the Hague,

"Mladić’s amended indictment consolidated the first and second indictments and reduced the total number of charges, leaving only the most serious counts which included six counts of violations of the laws or customs of war, seven counts of crimes against humanity and two counts of genocide."

The two counts of genocide that Mladic is charged with broadly cover the Bosnian Genocide in municipalities of Bratunac, Foča, Ključ, Kotor Varoš, Prijedor, Sanski Most, Vlasenica, Zvornik and Srebrenica. To read Mladic's indictment, click here.
