Submitted by Ibn Batuta: Some 2,000 people started Tuesday a three-day- long walk to Srebrenica in a march to commemorate the 13th anniversary of the massacre in the former eastern Bosnian Muslim enclave during the 1992-95 war in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The “March of Death - Path of Freedom” started from the village of Sapna, near the eastern Bosnian Serb town of Zvornik, and was due to end in the Memorial Centre Potocari on Friday, July 11, the actual day of the anniversary.

The marchers were to attend a funeral on Friday for more than 300 recently identified victims of the massacre.

The group includes people from all over Bosnia-Herzegovina, but also a group of Swiss parliamentarians and some 50 members of different non-governmental organizations from Belgrade, according to the Bosnian media.

The 100-kilometre walk will include the hills and woods of eastern Bosnia, where thousands of Bosnian Muslims were killed while trying to escape the massacre in Srebrenica and reach the free territories in the country’s north.
