Prosecutors in Milan have opened an investigation into Italians who allegedly paid members of the Bosnian Serb army for trips to Sarajevo so that they could kill citizens during the four-year siege of the city in the 1990s.
The snipers were perhaps the most feared element of life under siege in Sarajevo because they would pick off people on the streets, including children, at random, as if it was a video game or a safari.
Groups of Italians and other nationalities, so-called “sniper tourists”, are alleged to have participated in the massacre after paying large sums of money to soldiers belonging to the army of Radovan Karadžić, the former Bosnian Serb leader who in 2016 was found guilty of genocide and other crimes against humanity, to be transported to the hills surrounding Sarajevo so that they could shoot at the population for pleasure
Welp, that’s enough news for today!
I’m not pro death penalty but if this would be proven to them let’s please put them in some labirynt, make them wait there two days without food and then let them play with 12 angry bulls.
Sounds like you’re pro-punishment and suffering.
That isn’t the death penalty. That’s just a Greek mythology re-enactment.
Thank you. It’s 7am and I already thought about the Roman Empire… and Greeks.
Wow that’s really horrifying. I have no other comment. I’m just floored by that.
I’m not. Nothing is shocking anymore. I would vote for a planet killing asteroid if i could.
I completely believe that this could happen, and is probably happening now somewhere in South Sudan, Gaza, or North Korea.
I imagine it happens in every conflict around the world. War is chaotic, and humans are assholes who will take advantage of anything and everything to do a lot of fucked up stupid shit.
That kind of makes you worse, though.
The wheels of justice are turning very slowly in this case.
I was aware that Eduard Limonov, a prominent Russian writer and national-bolshevik, did something of the sort. He admited Karadžić, deliberately looked to join him and then participated in the bombing of Sarajevo. Interesting to hear that people from elsewhere participated in such stuff too.
