Press release regarding statements of Imran Hosein
The Institute for Research of Genocide, Canada rejects and condemns the views and statements of Sheikh Imran Hosein in his denial of genocide in Srebrenica and the events of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In his statements, Mr. Hosein places blame of what took place in Srebrenica solely on the West and NATO. The views expressed in his video address are in line with the architects and perpetrators of the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina and genocide against Bosniaks.
Imran Hosein (who is trying to gain has sent a shameful and insulting message directly to Bosniaks, denying that Serbs committed genocide against Bosniaks. In the year that marks 20 years since the genocide in Srebrenica, the biggest crime after the Holocaust in Europe, views expressed by Imran Hosein are offensive to all survivors and witnesses of the aggression and genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as all true friends of truth and justice in North America.
The International Criminal Tribunal of the Former Yugoslavia and the International Court of Justice ruled long ago and made final judgments that confirm the genocide in Srebrenica. At the same time US Congress and Senate, the Canadian Parliament and the parliaments of many countries have confirmed with their resolutions political judgment of greatest legal authority in the world. There is a general consensus among experts in the study of genocide that systematic killing of more than 8,372 Bosniaks in Srebrenica is an act of genocide. With his denial of legal, historical, scientific research and all political facts of genocide in Srebrenica, Mr. Hosein is in reality not acting as a Muslim leader or a believer. He is instead, siding with those who have designed and carried out genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Prior to making such statements, Mr. Hosein should have visited the biggest Bosniak execution site in Srebrenica. There, he would have seen countless rows of white headstones that serve as a witness of genocide, which took place. It isn’t necessary for him to visit now, but
everyone else who intends to speak about the genocide should personally go to the Potocari in Srebrenica. Indeed, it is a site of largest genocide and crime since the Second World War in Europe.
