The murderer of Srebrenica is also responsible for concentration camps, mass rape and other war crimes!

Tilman Zülch, President of the International Society for Threatened People (STP), comments on the arrest of the internationally sought war criminal Ratko Mladic in Serbia this Tuesday as follows:

"The arrested Ratko Mladic is the last of the three figures who are mainly responsible for the genocide against Bosnian Muslims. His name will be connected to the mass-execution of 8372 boys and men in the East Bosnian area of Srebrenica-Drina for all time. Together with Radovan Karadzic and Slobodan Milosevic, Mladic is also to be held responsible for the setup of concentration and internment camps such as Omarska, Manjaca, Keraterm, Trnopolje, Susica, Luka Brcko and Foca – where thousands of prisoners were killed – and for the systematic rape that up to 20.000 Bosnian women had to suffer from. Furthermore, there were systematic arrests and murders of academic and administrative elites, the expulsion of around 2.2 million Bosnians and their dispersion across four continents, the four-year bombing in so-called "UN protection-zones” (Tuzla, Gorazde, Srebrenica, Zepa, Bihac and Sarajevo), costing 11.000 lives – including 1.500 children. He is also responsible for massacres and mass executions in numerous towns and villages of northern, western and eastern Bosnia and for the systematic destruction of more than 1.000 mosques and Islamic shrines.

The International Society for Threatened Peoples (STP) points out that the former German Federal Government Kohl / Kinkel, political parties, churches and trade unions have always testified and condemned these crimes – but, during the war in Bosnia, they mostly remained silent about the genocide against the Bosnian Muslims (and members of other involved Bosnian nationalities) and opposed to any military intervention to stop the genocide. At the same time, the governments of Major and Mitterand in Great Britain and France openly supported and encouraged the Serbian aggression. We are especially ashamed about the fact that up to 100.000 mostly well-integrated

Bosnian refugees, who could not return to their Serb-occupied homes, were expelled by the German Interior Ministers and were granted accommodation by Canada, the U.S. and Australia."
