“Where are you going, kid? Stop! Go back!” “As I turned around and may have made one or two steps, a burst of fire was shot at me, and I fell down.” This is how #ICTY witness Adnan Zec remembers what he endured as a 13-year-old boy amidst the massacre in the Bosnian village of Ahmići in April 1993. Today marks 31 years since those crimes were committed by Bosnian Croat forces against Bosnian Muslim civilians. Over 100 civilians were killed, including women, children and the elderly. #RememberAhmićiVictims #Ahmići #ICTY #MIP #IRMCT

The Mechanism Information Programme for Affected Communities #MIP welcomed two representatives of the 90s Museum from Serbia. The one-week study visit aimed to equip them with skills in researching the #ICTY and #IRMCT archival material, crucial for enhancing the upcoming exhibitions at the 90s Museum.

For three and a half years Sarajevo was a city under siege. Its citizens targeted by snipers and shells. #IRMCT keeps the memory of the victims of the #Sarajevo siege alive and honours the survivors who testified before the #ICTY. #RememberSarajevoSiege

“They are only children.” Those were the last words that Shefkate Bogujevci, a 43-year-old woman spoke before members of the Serbian “Scorpions” paramilitary unit opened fire and killed 14 Kosovo Albanian women and children from the Bogujevci, Llugaliu, and Duriqi families in Podujevë, on 28 March 1999. Saranda and Fatos Bogujevci were among the five children who survived the killings. They testified at the trial of Serbian Police General Vlastimir Đorđević, who was convicted and sentenced to 18 years’ imprisonment for this and other crimes committed in Kosovo. #RememberKosovoVictims #IRMCT #ICTY
