Srebrenica buries dead amid calls for justice

BEREAVED families and survivors came to bury hundreds of victims of the Srebrenica massacre yesterday as world leaders demanded the arrest of the general whose troops killed the 8,000 Muslim males 15 years ago.

Tens of thousands of people, including European leaders, gathered near 775 green-covered coffins on the anniversary of the worst single atrocity on European soil since World War II.

“We recognise that there can be no lasting peace without justice,” US President Barack Obama said in a speech read out at the Potocari graveyard near the town of Srebrenica.
