31.05. 1992. Radio Prijedor broadcasts the following:
“Citizens of Serb nationality, join your army and police in the pursuit of extermism. Others; Muslims & Croat must place white flags on their homes and put on white armbands. Or you will suffer severe consequences”
“Citizens of Serb nationality, join your army and police in the pursuit of extermism. Others; Muslims & Croat must place white flags on their homes and put on white armbands. Or you will suffer severe consequences”
Thus started the genocidal campaign of ethnic cleansing in Prijedor. As people were marked to identify themselves as “non-Serb” they were murdered or sent off to concentration camps where they suffered torture, starvation and constant beatings. #WhiteArmBandDay
