Five people alleged to have taken part in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre have now been arrested in Bosnia. According to the Public Prosecution Service, the suspects are “former commanders and members” of the Bosnian Serb army.
The men were arrested on Wednesday during searches at several locations in the east of the country. They are accused of being personally involved ‘in the arrest and murder of approximately seventy victims’. They are also said to have helped the bodies disappear.
8,000 Muslims murdered
In the Bosnian town of Srebrenica, Bosnian Serb units murdered approximately 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the summer of 1995. The massacre is considered the worst war crime in Europe since World War II and has been classified as genocide by international courts.
The UN war crimes tribunal sentenced then Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and his army chief Ratko Mladicunter to life imprisonment, but only for the massacre (see video above).
