Institute Alerts Canadian Leaders to Srebrenica Memorial Center Intimidation

The Institute for Research of Genocide Canada (IGK) sent a letter to Canadian leaders. The letter was about police in Republika Srpska questioning staff from the Srebrenica Memorial Center. Current and former employees were called in for questioning. IGK strongly condemned these actions. They see it as an attempt to intimidate and erase the truth about the genocide.

IGK said such pressure attacks the memory of victims. It also harms institutions preserving the truth about the Srebrenica genocide. It is concerning that focus is on those documenting facts. The priority should be prosecuting war criminals. IGK believes the genocide's truth cannot be silenced by police calls or intimidation.

The Institute urged Canada to protect the Srebrenica Memorial Center. Canada should also monitor any pressure on groups that preserve historical truth. The text emphasizes the need to remember the genocide. Fighting for truth and justice is essential. Support for the Srebrenica Memorial Center is crucial for this.
