Palestinian Solidarity Convoy Arrives in Srebrenica from France
After arriving in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the convoy’s members visited the town of Srebrenica and the Potocari Memorial and prayed for the repose of the souls of the victims of the genocide that occurred in the town in 1995.
They also declared their solidarity with the Palestinians and condemned the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The coordinator of the Turkish delegation, Hüseyin Durmaz, emphasized that the crimes that occurred throughout history should not be forgotten and told reporters that the purpose of the convoy is to draw attention to the genocide in Gaza.
He noted that more than 500 civil society activists participate in the trip, which aims to reach Palestine through Turkey, Iraq and Jordan.
The convoy is scheduled to enter Turkey after departing from Bosnia and passing through several provinces, then continue its route to Iraq and then Jordan to finally reach Palestine. The trip, which will be carried out with the participation of activists from 10 European countries, is expected to last about 20 days.
The Srebrenica massacre is considered the worst such incident in Europe since World War II; On July 11, 1995, after Serb forces under Ratko Mladić captured the city, Bosnian civilians sought refuge with Dutch UN forces.
However, the Dutch handed them over to Serb forces, who carried out a massacre that claimed the lives of more than 8,000 Bosnian men and boys.
