Letter: In Yugoslavia's civil war all sides are guilty of terrible crimes
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.I FULLY support your paper's efforts to investigate the war crimes committed in Bosnia-Herzegovina ('Bosnia opens war crime files', 18 July) and I believe that all those responsible for these atrocities will be punished after full and due process of the law in well-documented trials.
But what worries me in particular is that the front page of Robert Fisk's story gives an account of the atrocities committed by one side only - the Serbs. I think that there is no need for me to remind you that the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina is a three-way civil war and that all belligerents, including Muslims, are responsible for the most horrible crimes.
I therefore trust that you will not fail to make front-page news of the crimes by Croats and Muslims against Bosnia's Serb civilian population in the next issue of your paper, just as you recorded atrocities inflicted on Bosnian Muslims, unless you find the crimes against Bosnian Serbs deserving less attention than those committed against other ethnic groups in Bosnia.
