In a letter to the minister, the IGK reminds the minister that the possible shooting of civilians, especially children, is a level of evil that Canada cannot and must not tolerate.
After the Milan prosecutor’s office launched an investigation into allegations that wealthy individuals from several countries, including Canada, paid for the sniper killing of civilians during the siege of Sarajevo, the Institute for Genocide Research Canada (IGK) has asked Canadian Justice Minister Sean Fraser to investigate allegations of the possible participation of Canadian citizens in the monstrous killing of civilians, especially children, in Sarajevo during the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
IGK wrote to the minister that Miran Župančić made the film “Sarajevo Safari”, and that tourists-snipers in Haris Imamović’s documentary novel, “Vedran and the Firefighters”, are also mentioned by John Jordan, an American firefighter who worked in Sarajevo during the war and who, on 21 and 22 February 2007, at the Hague Tribunal in the trial against Dragomir Milošević, spoke about rich people who came to Sarajevo to have fun killing civilians.
IGK reminds the minister in its letter that the possible shooting of civilians, especially children, is a level of evil that Canada cannot and must not tolerate. “Sarajevo Safari” is a moral abyss that must not remain just news, responsibility and justice for the victims must be sought.
The siege of Sarajevo began on 5 April 1992 and lasted 1,425 days. During the brutal siege of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 11,541 citizens of Sarajevo were killed, including 1,601 children. Estimates say that 300 snipers were stalking Sarajevans every day. Official statistics documented 255 people killed by sniper shots. Of these, 60 were children.
The Sarajevo Safari was an unimaginable kind of manhunt for a normal mind. “Manhunt” is one of the symbols of the evil that Sarajevo suffered during the longest siege in modern history – it is written in the letter to the IGK.
