On the occasion of marking the 77th anniversary of the decision of the Ustasha High Court by which 55 Sarajevans were brutally tortured and hanged on the night of March 27th-28th, 1945, the Canton Sarajevo (CS), in cooperation with the Association of Antifascists and People’s Liberation War Fighters in Centar Municipality, organized a commemorative program yesterday.
In the Alley of Chestnuts, on Marijin Dvor, on the night of March 27th-28th, 1945, with the aim of intimidating Sarajevans, 55 people were hanged, just a few days before the liberation of Sarajevo in April of the same year. They were hanged by the decision of the Ustasha Supreme Court and the Ustasha colonel, war criminal Maks Luburic.
Paying tribute
Yesterday, at the Monument of Ustasha Terror, honor was paid and flowers were laid to the killed victims.
Students of the High School of Mechanical Engineering also read the names of fellow citizens who were brutally killed.
A minute of silence was held in honor of the victims.
Names of those killed
The president of the Association of Anti-Fascists and Fighters of the People’s Liberation War, Sead Djulic, said that it was necessary to cultivate a culture of remembrance.
”Neo-fascism flourishes around us, we actually live a neo-fascist society, then this is a place where we must be inspired for our battles against new neo-fascists, who do not allow us to live, and who prevent our homeland from growing,” told Djulic.
