FACTS ABOUT SREBRENICA
In June 2005, during cross-examination of a witness in the case against Slobodan Milošević1 at
the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the court viewed video footage
showing a Serbian paramilitary unit, calling itself the Scorpions, execute six Bosnian Muslim
men and teenagers captured after the fall of Srebrenica in 1995. The images of Serbian
soldiers tormenting and then shooting the Bosnian Muslim prisoners, whose hands were tied
behind their backs and who offered no resistance before being shot, broke through the wall of

Government condemned the killings, and the Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor acted swiftly to
detain a number of suspects allegedly complicit in the murders of these six men.
