In 2018 I was a member of a delegation of women from Scotland to Srebrenica, with @beyondsrebrenica.bsky.social It was harrowing, but vital to learn more about the genocide & to hear the memories of Bosnian Muslims. #WhiteArmbandDay
Never Forget. Never Again.

Among them:
🔹 102 children
🔹 Countless women imprisoned and raped
🔹 50,000+ forcibly displaced
Today, we wear white armbands to honour the victims of Prijedor, those killed for their ethnicity and faith. We remember their names. We stand against hatred. #WhiteArmbandDay
Summer 1992: British journalists exposed the brutal reality of Bosnia’s concentration camps.

The war was just beginning.

Marking 31 May #WhiteArmbandDay
On 31 May 1992, a radio message across Prijedor in Bosnia instructed all Bosnian Muslims to wear white armbands & hang white sheets from their houses, making them targets for the Serb campaign of ethnic cleansing

On 31 May 1992, Bosniaks in Prijedor were ordered to wear white armbands—marking them for ethnic cleansing.
3,000+ were killed. 102 children among them.
@BeyondSreb stood with MSPs this week to say:
Never forget. Never again.

#WhiteArmbandDay: In May 1992, Serb forces in Prijedor forced Bosniak and Croat civilians to wear white armbands and mark their homes. They were identified, targeted, and sent to camps or killed. This was the beginning of ethnic cleansing. #WeRemember
Big day today at The Scottish Parliament with Beyond Srebrenica marking White Armband Day. Wonderful to speak with the inspirational young people and thankyou to all the MSPs for their support, interest and thoughtful conversation today.
