Call to Remember Unprosecuted Genocide in Prijedor

The Institute for Research of Genocide Canada (IGK) emphasizes that innocent Bosniak and Croat civilians in Prijedor were killed by the same perpetrators as victims in Srebrenica, Sarajevo, and Zvornik. The IGK calls for remembering the "unprosecuted genocide" in Prijedor. This is not a call for hate or revenge, but for collective awareness and a commitment to never forget the immense suffering, including the tears of Prijedor's mothers. The organization critiques any lack of a collective memory strategy or indifference to the victims' plight.

The struggle for justice and dignity for victims in Prijedor, Kozarac, Sarajevo, Zvornik, and Srebrenica is universal and demands equal respect. Truth and memory are essential, based on facts and legal judgments. The IGK urges international recognition for the unprosecuted genocide in Prijedor, labeling it a "black mark" on the international community's conscience. It warns Prijedor's political establishment that global opposition exists against their inhumane decisions, as people worldwide remember the victims.

The IGK profoundly honors all innocent Bosniak and Croat individuals, including men, women, and children, murdered in Prijedor and the Sana river valley. Their "only crime" was their name, faith, and identity. Remembering is a moral duty, not for hatred, but to uphold truth and seek justice. This remembrance serves as a crucial warning to prevent such crimes from ever recurring. The message is clear: "Never forget Prijedor" and the Sana valley. Truth, justice, and the memory of these innocent victims must endure for future generations.
