On this day we remember the 675 victims of the massacre at Bijeli Potok. Bosnian Muslim men and boys taken from villages around Zvornik and killed. The oldest was 80, the youngest only 15.

Many victims were buried in mass graves along with the victims of other atrocities, including Srebrenica.

Today, White Armband Day, we remember the victims of Prijedor.

The last episode of our podcast series about Prijedor, season 2 of Untold Killing, looks at the wake of the crimes in Prijedor for the survivors: Each survivors’ release brought them to the start of a lifelong journey. Scattered across the world and Bosnia, they try to come to terms with what they’d lived through.

After months of languishing in the concentration camps with no hope of salvation, everything changes for the detainees in just one day. On the 5th of August 1992, they are visited by foreign journalists whose reporting finally ends their imprisonment: https://t.co/MNeW3DJECt

Episode 2 of Season 2 of our podcast Untold Killing focuses on how Prijedor became so divided that friends and neighbours would stand against each other and non-Serbs would end up in concentration camps. Listen here: https://t.co/wOA36CCyk3

#OTD on 19 May 1993, Boško Brkić and Asmira Ismić, a Serb and a Bosniak, were killed trying to flee Sarajevo. The young couple has become a symbol of a multi-ethnic Sarajevo, and their fate a haunting reminder of the horror of the war in the city.

#OTD in 1992, Serb militia entered the village of Zaklopača, near Vlasenica in eastern Bosnia.
They demanded the Bosniak residents surrender their weapons.
When residents surrendered the few hunting rifles they had and were unarmed, the Serb militia massacred them, killing approximately 60-80 residents including children and elderly people.
