A forensic technician (Alison Anderson MBE) has searched, removed from the bodies, photographed, washed and hangs out to dry, clothing from victims, who were massacred near Srebrenica, Bosnia Herzegovina in July 1995. The clothing may be used as evidence against Serbian perpetrators.
A Bosnian slipper, a Dutch football shirt (size 'Youth') a pair of youths trousers, a blindfold and a small child’s shoe, represent the variety of clothing recovered from the victims.
The Dutch UN 'Peacekeepers' were accused of 'hanging out to dry' the Bosnian muslims who were in a UN protected 'safe' area by handing them over to Ratco Mladic, the Serb General, who then ordered the deaths of over seven thousand men and boys who were then thrown into mass graves.
Mladic was arrested and charged with war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in 2011. He was then taken to the International War Crimes Tribunal where he is currently on trial.
