Barimo massacre victims
We earlier wrote about the Barimo massacre which occured in August 1992 in Visegrad. Barimo is a village in the Visegrad municipality. In August 1992, Bosnian Serb Army attacked Barimo which was inhabited mostly by elderly people, while the rest were hiding in forests or managed to escape to free territory. At least 26 Bosnian Muslim men, women along with a few children were massacred in their homes or executed and buried in a mass grave on the river banks of the Drina.

God bless you and thank you for revealing the truth about horrendous massacres against Bosniak civilians in and around Visegrad. I will use this information in my upcoming articles and these victims will never get forgotten. I am thinking about publishing a book. We must not forget.

I hope that the moment it’s appropriate to publish the perpetrators’ names they’ll stand revealed in all their sickness and shame.
