A commemoration this June marks the anniversary of the horrific “Living Bonfires” event in Višegrad, Bosnia, during which civilians – predominantly women and children – were deliberately burned alive. The UDIK organization specifically highlighted Bikavac and Pionirska Street as locations of extreme brutality. On June 14th, approximately seventy Bosniak civilians, largely originating from the village of Koritnik, were systematically set on fire. This event represents one of the most egregious crimes committed against Bosniaks during the war. The anniversary serves as a stark reminder of the widespread suffering inflicted upon civilians. Details of the atrocity were reported by Sarajevo Times. The event underscores the need for continued remembrance and accountability for wartime crimes.
