Today, like 11th day of every month, Women of Srebrenica held a peaceful protest on the streets of Tuzla, alerting the public to the genocide that occurred in July 1995 in which 8,372 Bosniak (Muslim) men and boys were slaughtered by Serbian soldiers and, in many cases by Serbian civilians, who were terrorizing Srebrenica from April 1992 up until July 1995.
They accused the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Office of the Prosecutor, and the Institute for Missing Persons of delaying exhumations of victim’s remains from mass graves.
“This year, not even one mass grave has been exhumed. Many parents have died and they did not see to bury their children. Most responsible for the delay in exhumations and slow process of identificating victims are the Court and the Prosecutors office of Bosnia-Herzegovina,” said Hajra Ćatić, president of non-governmental association “Women of Srebrenica.”

Hajra Catic lost her husband, Junuz, and son Nino in the genocide. Her husband was seized by Bosnian Serb forces when he accompanied her to the UN base at Potocari. His body was found in a mass grave in 1998 and identified in 2005. He had been shot in the neck. When she went to the ICMP (International Commission on Missing Persons) centre to identify his clothing. "When I saw all the remnants and clothing I felt as if the murder had happened right there and then," she said. Her son was killed when he tried to escape through the forest with other men. Sixteen years on, however, his body has still not been found because the area remains heavily mined.
