Plans to destroy Bosnia’s Muslims were known to party founders yet dissenters were tortured
Evidence
Vladimir Srebrov was one of the founders, along with Radovan Karadzic, of the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) in Bosnia. In early ¶992 Srebrov became aware of a plan within the Yugoslav army, supported by his colleagues in the party, to destroy the Muslim population of Bosnia as part of a partition of the coun try between Serbia and Croatia. When he attempted to leave Sarajevo to plead with Serb nationalists to abandon the planned killings, he was arrested by Serb militiamen, placed in the Kula prison, and tortured. Srebrov is one of many Serbs who have refused the nationalist program of the Serb governments. — Michael A. Sells, The Bridge Betrayed, 87
