Arrest of Radovan Karadzic
Reacting to the arrest of Radovan Karadzic yesterday, Christine Shaw, CEO of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, said:
“The arrest of Radovan Karadzic should be welcomed by all who believe in individual freedom and human rights. Tens of thousands of Bosnian survivors will finally see Karadzic answer to charges of genocide. This arrest should send a message to all who are involved in persecution – that there is no hiding place – justice will catch up with you.
The crimes committed in Bosnia, as well as previous genocides, continue to burn bright as the ultimate reminder of where discrimination and hatred can lead us. I hope Karadzic’s arrest today emboldens us all to stand up against hatred in whatever form we find it in, to build to a fairer and more just society now.”
