Thousands of people from Bosnia and abroad have gathered in Srebrenica for the annual ritual of commemorating a 1995 massacre in the eastern town and to bury victims unearthed from mass graves and only recently identified through DNA analysis.

Twenty-eight years after they were murdered in Europe’s only acknowledged genocide since the Holocaust, 27 men and three teenage boys will be laid to rest on Tuesday at a vast cemetery just outside Srebrenica, joining more than 6,600 massacre victims already reburied there.
