| Hasan Hasanovic |
Next week marks the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica
genocide, which saw the killing of 8000 Bosnian Muslims. Commemorations will
take place around the world to mark this anniversary, a reminder of how quickly
division and prejudice can turn into killing and genocide. The lessons of the past must not be
forgotten.
ATUC is urging all our delegates and affiliates
to join the commemoration organised by Interfaith Scotland in partnership with
Remembering Srebrenica Scotland. This will be an online engagement event on 8
July 2020 at 4 pm on the 25th Anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide. The guest
speaker will be the survivor and acclaimed author, Hasan Hasanovic.
Hasan was 19 when the town of Srebrenica fell to
Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995. He endured a 100 kilometre march through
hostile terrain to escape the massacre that took the lives of around 8000
Muslim men and boys, including his brother and father.

my heart speaks. And now, finally
someone is listening’
