Srebrenica massacre, slaying of
more than 7,000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) boys and men, perpetrated by Bosnian
Serb forces in Srebrenica, a town in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, in July
1995. In addition to the killings, more than 20,000 civilians were expelled
from the area—a process known as ethnic cleansing. This massacre was the
worst episode of mass murder within Europe since World War II.
