Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

World Marks 10th Anniversary of Srebrenica Massacre

HeadlineJul 12, 2005

On Monday, the world community marked the 10th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre when 8,000 Muslim men and boys were slaughtered by Bosnian Serbians. The killing marked Europe’s worst atrocity since World War II. The Muslims were massacred after being taken from what was supposed to be a UN protected 'safe area'. Mark Brown, special envoy of Kofi Annan, read a personal message from the Secretary General. The alleged perpetrators — wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his military commander, Ratko Mladic, have been indicted for genocide by the UN tribunal at The Hague but remain at large somewhere in the former Yugoslavia.
