15TH ANNIVERSARY OF LJUTOCKA DOLINA KILLINGS MARKED

BIHAC, Bosnia (September 25,2007) – 15th anniversary of killings of the Orasac, Ripac and the surrounding villages’ civilians was marked in the Duljlci village near the western Bosnian city of Bihac.40 Bosnian civilians were killed in September of 1992 after the genocidal Serbian aggressor had imprisoned and tortured them.

The youngest victim was only 12 years old. The search is in progress for other missing genocide victim. There are some witnesses’ statements that some bodies are buried in the graves not far away from the crime scene.

From 9 June 1992, the Bosnian village of Ripac near Bihac was sealed off by the Serbian aggressor and became a de facto centre of detention for the inhabitants of the village and Bosnian civilians from other areas.

Nobody has been prosecuted for the crime so far.That is what makes the Ljutocka Dolina citizens bitter. They have already organized peaceful protests in front of the Bihac Cantonal Prosecutor’s Office.

Cantonal and municipal representatives have placed flowers on Sunday to commemorate the genocide victims.
