Austrian writer Peter Handke received the 2019 Nobel Prize in literature. The award is for “a writer’s life work,” and Handke has written novels, travelogues, theatre plays, screenplays and poetry.
The Institute for Research of Genocide Canada (IGC), a Bosnian Canadian organization, have launched a Government of Canada e-petition, Petition 1837, supported by Member of Parliament Brian Masse, to make the denial of the genocide of Bosnians in Srebrenica illegal in Canada.
The City of Windsor has a permanent monument commemorating those who died in the massacre. In 2017, Windsor's Mayor Drew Dilkens also proclaimed July 11th as "Srebrenica Remembrance Day".
In honour of the 23rd Anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide, today Brian Masse M.P. (Windsor West) made the following statement:
Muslim Link received a message from a Bosnian Canadian reminding us that July 11 marks the 21st anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, when over 8,000 Bosnian Muslims, mostly men and boys, were killed in and around the town of Srebrenica during the Bosnian War. In 2004, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia determined that the massacre was a genocide, a ruling that was upheld by the International Court of Justice in 2007.
