SREBRENICA, Bosnia (December 7,2007) - American actress and UNICEF Ambassador Mia Farrow visited yesterday the Genocide Memorial in the eastern Bosnian town of Srebrenica, where she placed flowers and met with the genocide survivors.

“We are passing trough the countries that experienced genocide and mass crimes and we feel compassion for them. In this way, we want to inform the public about the committed genocides worldwide, and by lighting the fire, we are expressing solidarity with the victims in order to point at the terrible events in Darfur and to remind the world about everything that is happening when we turn our heads away. Also, we are trying to call upon the International Community, especially the Government of China, the host of the next Olympic Games, to use their influence and ensure security for the civilians in Darfur before the beginning of the Games”, Farrow emphasized.

The Bosnian President Željko Komšić received the “Dream for Darfur” Organization representatives, led by UNICEF ambassador Mia Farrow.

She informed President Komšić about the activities of the “Dream for Darfur” Organization over the last couple of years.

Farrow stressed out that by coming to Bosnia, she and the other members of the Organization, wish to honor all the genocide and the mass crimes victims in Bosnia and the rest of the world. She expressed an expectation that the people that experienced the suffering and the genocide not so long ago, could best understand the suffering and the pain of the people in Darfur.

She announced that their Organization will organize an action for the genocide victims today, December 7, 2007. In front of the Eternal Fire monument in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo , they will light a symbolic Olympic baton.

President Komšić, comparing everything that Bosnia had gone trough, expressed a deep understanding for the pain and the suffering of everybody, particularly the innocent ones – killed and starved children.
