Protests over shameful indictments: Prosecutors, aren't you ashamed!?

(Patria) - Protests are being held in front of the BiH Prosecutor's Office with the message 'Prosecutors, aren't you ashamed'.

The Foundation Truth for Goražde is organizing the protest rally, and several hundred people are gathered in front of the Prosecutor's Office and the Court of BiH in Sarajevo. Traffic is blocked, and the protests began with the singing of the BiH anthem.

As they stated, the protests are organized against the unjust prosecution of BiH defenders, members of the Army of RBiH and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of RBiH, whose past they aim to relativize and carry out historical revisionism, i.e., to deny the past and facts established and ruled upon by two United Nations courts in The Hague.

"By prosecuting our defenders, they are trying to impose lies that protect the aggressor. At the same time, criminals who kept Sarajevo, Goražde, Žepa, Tuzla, and Bihać under siege and killed civilians, even though they were United Nations protected zones, are not being prosecuted. The goal of the protests is to fight for truth and justice," stated the Foundation "Truth for Goražde".

The last case that overflowed the cup, they note, is the indictment against 13 members of the Army of RBiH who defended Podrinje and Goražde, and who are accused of the most serious crimes, even genocide against Serbs.

"This is a continuation of the systematic persecution of the best sons of our only homeland," they said.

As announced, the gathered participants will send demands to all relevant domestic and international addresses tomorrow, the main goal of which will be to insist on the consistent implementation of the Strategy for the Prosecution of War Crimes (especially Annex B), in order to stop the deliberate undertaking of changing the character of the war, equating the victim and the aggressor, and humiliating the defenders of BiH.

They will also demand the formation of an international commission to investigate the events in Podrinje, as well as in other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to continue the work of the Hague Tribunal, which the BiH Prosecutor's Office wants to erase.

"From the protests in Sarajevo, we will send a letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, informing him about the non-compliance with the UN resolution that initiated the establishment of the Court and Prosecutor's Office of BiH, non-compliance with the Hague legacy, as well as about the fact that the BiH Prosecutor's Office prosecutes defenders from protected zones while not prosecuting those who kept these zones under siege and daily killed civilians and children," stated the Foundation "Truth for Goražde".
