UN forces guilty in Srebrenica massacre: Activist
Press TV has conducted an interview with Massoud Shadjareh, a member of the Islamic Human Rights Commission in London, about newly revealed documents showing that the US, Britain and France were behind the 1995 massacre of Srebrenica Muslims in eastern Bosnia during the Balkans War, regarded as Europe's worst civilian slaughter since World War II.
The following is a rough transcription of the interview.
Press TV: If this is true it obviously shows the deep-rooted animosity or hatred that perhaps has emanated from western countries such as the US and the UK on Muslims?
Shadjareh: This is absolutely the case and many of us at a time of Srebrenica remember very clearly that that was the reality at the time and people of Srebrenica were not just killed by the Serbs, actually those who were guilty were the UN forces.
As a matter of fact we need to also remember that prior to this UN went to Srebrenica asked the Muslims to disarm themselves as a condition of becoming the protectorate of the Srebrenica and disarmed them. So really the guilt goes much beyond that and I think this just proves the case of what really took place and I also want to remind everyone of the book Clinton wrote that in Bosnia Europe did not want to have a Muslim state there and that is why United States did not do anything.
The reality is that the whole issue of Srebrenica has got a tremendous impact on the psyche of not just Muslims in Bosnia but Muslims in Europe because although we were told that never again people are going to be left to Fascists to die in slaughter and commit genocide, Europe actually not only turned its face against the Bosnians and denied them weapons to defend themselves. Again we need to remind ourselves that there was a sanction against Bosnians to defending themselves while they were being slaughtered and raped on a systematic basis.
