GRAORAC: WAR CRIME WAS COMMITTED AGAINST INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN LEDIĆI

LEDIĆI, JUNE 3 /SRNA/ - President of the Republican Organization of Families of Captured and Killed Fighters and Missing Civilians Isidora Graorac said today in Ledići that this once Serbian village was only heard of because of evil against Serbs.

"Unfortunately, we heard about the village of Ledići, not for the good, but for the bad, and the war crime that happened here against innocent Serb civilians 34 years ago. What else needs to happen so that those who committed these terrible crimes are brought to justice and adequately punished?" Graorac asked.

She told the journalists that the crimes against the Serbs in Ledići are unimaginable and exceed the limits of common sense, especially when it comes to the abuse of children and the elderly by Muslim fanatics, whose only culprit is that they are Serbs.

Graorac points out that not only Republika Srpska and BiH, but also the whole world should hear about Ledići, because it is an unprecedented crime against innocent civilians of Serbian nationality.

The president of the My Hearth Association from Trnovo Slavko Vasić, whose Muslim neighbors killed his father, mother and grandmother, did not hide his indignation this year either, because no one was held accountable for the crime in Ledići, nor did the perpetrators receive the deserved punishment.

"We live in an absolutely disordered state where there is no law or justice and where Serb victims are absolutely humiliated. The person most responsible for the crimes in Ledići is Edhem Godinjak, but the court acquitted him," Vasić told reporters, stressing that he was speaking on behalf of all the families of the victims.

He asked what kind of people are they who mercilessly torture and kill innocent children, women and the elderly, and added that it is a sad fact that not a single Serb lives in this once Serb village today.

Vasić repeated that he doubts the good intentions of the judicial institutions in BiH, and he does not believe that real reconciliation and coexistence will soon occur in these areas.

"The only thing that left for me is to believe in God's justice," said Vasić.

At the memorial in Ledići, in the federal state of Trnovo, a memorial service was held today for 22 innocent Serb victims, who died 34 years ago at the hands of criminals of the so-called Army of BiH who killed and massacred Serbian civilians, including Milun Tešanović, an innocent child of only 18 months, as well as 15 Serb women.
