Today is #WhiteArmbandDay

In 1992, all non-Serbs were forced to mark themselves with white armbands

In just 1 city: 4093 Bosniaks (Bosn Muslims) were killed, ca. 200 Croats, tens of Albanians +Roma Muslims, 2 Ukrainians, 1 Pakistani, 1 Czech, 1 Serb who opposed fascism

Around 50.000 non-Serbs lived in the city of Prijedor. Over 30.000 were taken to concentration camps. They were tortured, raped, starved, killed... Pictures of starving inmates went around the world - but the world kept watching for 4 years. Youngest victim was 2 months old.

Some of the murdered children of Prijedor. Notice how many fields are empty? All pictures of them were destroyed, along with their toys, homes, bodies.

Only trace of their existence is our memories. That's what "Never forget" means. Never forget the genocide in Bosnia!

Today, this city is ruled by Serb fascists who don't allow survivors to build a monument for the murdered children of Prijedor. Instead, there is a monument to their *killers* in the Trnopolje concentration camp.

Let that sink in. This is what we're fighting. Support us.
