Join us on 31 May – White Armband Day
The ‘White Armband Day’ campaign, aims to give a voice to victims of mass atrocities from around the world in their struggle for the truth, dignity and remembrance. We call upon you to wear a white armband on 31 May and place a white sheet on your window for ten minutes in memory of the non-Serb citizens of Prijedor who were subjected to a campaign of extermination in 1992, and all victims throughout the world who are facing denial of their suffering. The actions of the authorities in our city of Prijedor then, in 1992, when this brutal campaign of violence was implemented and now, when the city government denies the crimes that have taken place, is a universal example of the oppression we are fighting in all corners of the world. Be with us and thousands of other victims of mass atrocities on 31 May with a white armband on your hand.

Pridruzite nam se 31. Maja na Svjetski dan bijelih traka
“Kampanja ‘Dan bijelih traka’ nastoji dati glas zrtvama masovnih zlocina sirom svijeta koje se bore za svoje pravo na istinu, dostojanstvo i sjecanje. Pozivamo vas da 31. maja stavite bijelu traku na rukav i bijeli carsaf na prozor na deset minuta i tako iskazete solidarnost sa svima koji se danas suocavaju sa negiranjem njihove patnje i progona. Postupci vlasti u nasem gradu Prijedoru, i 1992. kada je provedena brutalna kampanja zlocina nad gradjanima nesrpske nacoionalnosti, i danas kada vlasti negiraju pocinjene zlocine, planetarni je primjer protiv cega se borimo sirom svijeta. Sa bijelom trakom na ruci 31. maja budite sa nama i svim zrtvama masovnih zlocina sirom svijeta.”

Machen Sie mit am 31. Mai – weltweiter Aktionstag “Weisses Armband”
Die Aktion “Tag des weissen Armbands” möchte den Opfern von Massenverbrechen in der ganzen Welt eine Stimme geben und sie in ihrem Kampf für Wahrheit, Menschenwürde und Erinnerung unterstüzten. Wir laden Sie dazu ein, am 31. Mai ein weisses Armband zu tragen und für zehn Minuten ein weisses Tuch an Ihr Fenster zu hängen: zur Erinnerung an die nicht-serbischen Bürger von Prijedor, gegen die 1992 eine Vernichtungskampagne geführt wurde, und für alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger weltweit, denen die Anerkennung ihres Leids verweigert wird. Damals, 1992, haben die Behörden in unserer Stadt Prijedor eine Kampagne der Gewalt losgetreten, und heute leugnen die städtischen Behörden die damaligen Verbrechen: Prijedor steht als ein universelles Beispiel für Unterdrückung gegen die wir weltweit kämpfen. Am 31. Mai, mit einem weissen Armband, Seien sie mit uns und Tausenden anderer Opfer von Massenverbrechen.

Hey,
I am a professionnal translator (from English to French). I’d be happy to give some of my time to translate the parts of the website that isn’t.
Contrary to what my family name allows you to think, I can only translate from English. Not from Bosnian (I am sorry about that).
Send me a mail!

Amandine, thank you so much for your offer. Only page that isn’t translated in French, Spanish and Arabic is the “About” Page.
If you have time, and inclination to do so, we will add French translation. Thank you
Emire how about translating into German? Let me know.Amra
Hi Amra, thank you for your offer. If you have time we will put it up
Amra, many thanks for the offer. In the meantime we received teh translation, so this will not be needed. However, if you’re interested to help, there are postings on our FB page that we’d love to have in as many languages as possible. Please let us know if you’d have time to help with that. Many thanks.
It seems that Prijedor’s mayor Marko Pavic has done us a great favour with his insulting and harsh statements about the victims’ right to remembrance in Prijedor. He ignited people’s pride and revolt against the police decision to forbid events marking the suffering of citizens of Prijedor in 1992, so much so that the annual visit to Trnopolje had three times as many people than last year. Some 500 people turned up and were standing shoulder to shoulder as one. We were connected not only through the pain suffered in the Tronopolje camp by innocent men, women and children, but through our thirst for dignity and equal rights for all in Prijedor. Today, as part of the commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of Genocide in Prijedor, in Trnopolje camp, where some 23000 people suffered, we have given another chance to the municipal administration led by Pavic to seriously start the reckoning with our dark past and stop discrimination of their own citizens. It is up to them to take this opportunity so that we can build a better Prijedor together, based on healthy atmosphere and acceptance of each other. Prijedor that will not continue to hide the bodies of more than 1000 dissapeared from their families. Prijedor which will give the victims of rape, former camp inmates and victims’ families a minimum of dignity they don’t have today. Prijedor where we will together mourn innocent victims no matter which ethnic group they belong. Prijedor that will not tolerate killers and rapists walking its streets freely. Prijedor that will have the names of 102 children killed in 1992. in a city square memorial, to serve as a reminder not to let something like that ever happen again.
