Stop Genocide Denial

The power of one - Emir Hodzic, whose brother and father were inmates of the Omarska concentration camp, near Prijedor in north-western Bosnia and Herzegovina, standing silently with a white armband in Prijedor's main square on 23 May 2012. On the same day he was denied a visit to Omarska by the ArcelorMittal guards. The white body bag in front of him symbolizes the crimes committed against women in Prijedor. There was supposed to be an installation with 266 white body bags and red roses representing 266 women and girls killed in 1992. Prijedor mayor Marko Pavic did not allow the installation, saying that any marking of the 20th anniversary of genocide in Prijedor would 'harm the city's reputation'.
