Srebrenica Genocide Trial: 7 Bosnian Serbs Guilty
Posted by srebrenicagenocideinfo from CBC
Seven Bosnian Serbs were convicted of committing genocide in Srebrenica in 1995. Another four people were acquitted as the decision in the two-year trial was handed down in Sarajevo on Tuesday. Three former policemen, Milenko Trifunovic, Brano Dzinic and Aleksandar Radovanovic, were sentenced to 42 years in prison; another three former policemen, Milos Stupar, Slobodan Jakovljevic and Branislav Medan, received 40-year sentences; and one, Petar Mitrovic, was sentenced to 38 years. The seven were convicted of killing of more than 1,000 captured men of Muslim origin, known as Bosniaks, after Bosnian Serb forces conquered the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica.
Women, Children, and Srebrenica Genocide

In order to deny and justify Srebrenica genocide, many apologists question how could Serbs commit genocide by deciding to deport women and children from the U.N. 'protected' Srebrenica enclave? As the International Criminal Tribunal judges ruled, " The decision not to kill the women or children may be explained by the Bosnian Serbs' sensitivity to public opinion. In contrast to the killing of the captured military men, such an action could not easily be kept secret, or disguised as a military operation, and so carried an increased risk of attracting international censure."
