25th Anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges that July 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide; understands that the genocide in east Bosnia led to more than 8,000 Bosniaks, mostly boys and men, losing their lives, at least 20,000 women being victims of sexual violence and an estimated 20,000 civilians being expelled in what was the final year of the Bosnian War; notes that the Scottish-based charity, Remembering Srebrenica Scotland, in partnership with Glasgow Life, has been awarded funding by the Scottish Government to host an exhibition at Kelvingrove Museum, which will feature artefacts from the Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo along with personal memorabilia donated by survivors of the genocide, and acknowledges the charity's aim for people to never forget this tragic event and the loss of so many lives.
