Letter to High Representative Inzko
Mr. Valentin Inzko
High Representative
The Office of the High Representative
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Dear High Representative Inzko,
We are writing to express our grave concern about the decision taken by the Republika Srpska Ministry of Physical Planning, Civil Engineering and Ecology, for the Višegrad municipality to carry out the destruction of a memorial erected in the Stražište cemetery, the central Muslim cemetery in Višegrad. The memorial was erected on May 25, 2012. On the same day, sixty Bosniak victims of the genocidal aggression were laid to rest in the cemetery, having been exhumed from the nearby river Drina and from Lake Perućac barely two years earlier in the late summer and early autumn of 2010. Many of the victims had been murdered on the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge and thrown into the river in 1992. When repairs on the nearby dam caused the river level to drop, the Bosnian Missing Persons Institute was able to locate the victims’ remains in the riverbed and Lake Perućac.

Dear Professor Kimberly:
As concerned representatives of American, Canadian, and European organizations and as intellectuals, we are requesting that you distance your organization from the comments made in the exclusive interview by Edward S.

Edward S. Herman and other genocide deniers and revisionists of historic facts should not be allowed a platform to continue their hurtful campaign of double killing of the victims of genocide that occurred in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Letter to Dr. Persson
Dear Dr. Persson,
Thank you for your response. As human rights organizations we also believe in freedom of expression however there are times when freedom of expression can deeply offend and impede on the rights of other individuals. Our statement seems to reflect Lone Star’s policy on freedom of speech. According to Lone Star’s policy regarding freedom of speech: II.D.1.09 - Use of College or System Space for Speech Activity indicates that “Any acts that are disruptive to the normal operations of the System or college sites including but not limited to classes and college business, or invades the rights of others will not be permitted.”

Protest Letter to Ban-Ki-moon
Your Excellency,
On behalf of 350,000 Bosnian Americans, and 50,000 Bosnian Canadians we would like to express our disappointment at your attendance of the concert held at the United Nations that was organized by Vuk Jeremic, Foreign Affairs Minister of the Republic of Serbia.

On January 9th, 1992, the Bosnian Serbs led by indicted war criminal Radovan Karadzic forcibly self-proclaimed the so called “Serb Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina”. This event can be historically classified as the official beginning of the aggression against the Republic of Bosnia and genocide against non-Serbs.
