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: S. G. Grant (letter, 16 April) is right to point out that the atrocities committed by the Serbs in Bosnia are on a far greater scale than those committed by the Muslims and Croats. However, there is a more fundamental difference between the atrocities committed by the two groups.

The crimes of the Muslims and Croats were committed by individual people, whereas the crimes of the Serbs were an instrument of military policy decided upon at the highest level and executed with the blessing of their rulers. This means that the Bosnian Serb army and 'government' are criminal organisations, whereas the equivalent Muslim and Croat institutions are not.

Yours sincerely,
