Today is Srebrenica Memorial Day.
Sunday 11 July 2021 marks the 26th anniversary of the atrocities in Bosnia and Herzegovina where the Bosnian Serb Army marched into Srebrenica and killed more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys.
Communities across South Tyneside are encouraged to light a candle in their own home as part of the Borough’s online tribute to Srebrenica.
Watch South Tyneside Council's virtual commemoration film which pays tribute to the victims of the genocide.
