July 11th marked the 13th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, which saw the deaths of over 8,000 Muslim men and boys at the hands of Bosnian Serbs under the control of Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic. This year, 307 recently-identified victims were reburied by their families in the presence of over 40,000 mourners and supporters on the site. Among those who attended the memorial were AP Peace Fellows Shweta Dewan, working with AP partner BOSFAM, and Janet Rabin, working with the Women in Black Network of Serbia, another AP partner in the region.
