SREBRENICA WOMEN CLAIM THERE ARE CAMPS IN SERBIA

TUZLA, Jan 14 (Hina) - There are camps in Serbia where some people are detained who have gone missing since Serbs overran Srebrenica, the former UN safe area in summer 1995, the Tuzla- based association, "Srebrenica Women" said on Tuesday. The association's leader, Mrs. Fatima Huseinovic, said they had sent to the international community exact data about locations of the camps in Serbia, but the association had not received any answer yet. A year and half after the fall of the eastern Bosnian town, the women's association has sent an open letter to the international community, the International War Criminal Tribunal in The Hague, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the world's statesmen, requesting from them to take part and assist in the search of missing persons. Women of Srebrenica voiced dissatisfaction with the current work of the ICRC and blamed it for its failure to cooperate with the missing people's families and for slim results of investigations. The ICRC that is seeking about ten thousand missing men from eastern Bosnia, has recently began to distribute obituary notices to families of the missing persons, which are written on the grounds of results of Bosnian federal and Serb commissions for missing persons. The obituary notices say where the search person was seen for the last time but did not say where he was buried. In the open letter women of Srebrenica said the purpose of such an act was to remove the responsibility of the U.N. for what had happened in Srebrenica on July 11, 1995, but, they claimed, it is not the true and correct information about the destiny of their family's members.
