Remember Sarajevo Victims
For three and a half years Sarajevo was a city under siege. Its citizens were targeted by snipers and shells and lived their lives under constant threat. IRMCT keeps the memory of the victims of the Sarajevo siege alive and honours the survivors who testified before the ICTY.
Remember Markale Victims, 1994
On 5 February 1994, a mortar shell fired by the Army of Republika Srpska exploded in the busy Markale market in Sarajevo, killing at least 67 people and injuring over 140. This was one of the deadliest crimes committed during the siege of Sarajevo.
During the 42-month-long siege, the Markale market was shelled twice, causing numerous civilian casualties.
Remember Markale Victims, 1995
On 28 August 1995, a shell fired by the Army of Republika Srpska landed in front of the main entrance to the Markale market in Sarajevo, killing 43 people and injuring at least 70 others.
This was the second time that the Markale market was shelled, causing numerous civilian casualties.
