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).

DAY 2: MLADIC'S BOSNIAN GENOCIDE TRIAL, HOURS OF OPENING STATEMENTS

On day 2 of Ratko Mladic’s Bosnian genocide trial at the Hague, prosecutors focused on the 1995 Srebrenica genocide. (watch video Part I and II of May 17, 2012).

Unexpectedly, judge suspended Ratko Mladic's genocide and war crimes trial indefinitely Thursday after prosecutors failed to disclose thousands of documents to the former Bosnian Serb military chief's defense team — a ruling that could delay the trial for months. Presiding judge Alphons Orie said he was delaying the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal case due to "significant disclosure errors" by prosecutors, who are obliged to share all evidence with Mladic's lawyers.

Ratko Mladić, former Commander of the Bosnian Serb Army (VRS) Main Staff, stands accused of genocide against Bosniak civilians in eight (8) municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina from May 1992 to late 1995. Watch Opening Statements, DAY 2 ↓
