Letter: Plea for peace
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Bruce Young (letter, 20 April) informs us that 200,000 Serbs left their homes and belongings in the Krajina region of Croatia in August 1995 merely because their Serb leaders told them to.
In fact, prosecutors at the Hague War Crimes Tribunal have the names of three Croatian generals who are wanted for the crime of raining shells on the civilian inhabitants of Knin, the main city in Krajina, in August 1995. Such atrocities, and others recorded by human rights agencies, precipitated the Serb flight.
Ethnic cleansing is ethnic cleansing no matter who the perpetrators. Or has the doublethink which Robert Fisk has so outstandingly exposed in The Independent gone so far that any crime can be excused in order to justify the madness of Nato's bombing campaign?
