SREBRENICA, July 25 (FENA) - Commemoration in honor of Hatidža Mehmedović, a Srebrenica mother who lost two sons, husband and a brother in the genocide, who was a symbol of courage and perseverance in the struggle for truth and justice was held today at the Cultural Center in Srebrenica.

The commemoration was held in the presence of numerous citizens of Srebrenica and the entire country, political officials and religious, cultural and other representatives.

Alija Tabaković, Chairman of the Srebrenica Municipal Assembly and the organizer of the commemoration, said on the occasion that Hatidža spread the truth about the genocide in Srebrenica for almost a third of her life, for more than two decades.

Mothers of Srebrenica Munira Subašić and Hajra Ćatić spoke at the commemoration and said that the mothers would continue the struggle for the truth in which Hatidža was persistent until the last day of her life.

Hatidžu Mehmedović, President of the "Mothers of Srebrenica" association was sent off to her final resting place by citizens of Srebrenica and many other citizens of BiH, as well as representatives of the association "Women in Black" from Belgrade.

“We came here today to pay our respect to a brave woman who has turned her great suffering and immense loss into a battle for the truth about genocide. Hatidža has left an indelible mark. We know where the aggression and the destruction came from, and who committed horrible atrocities in this region,” told FENA Staša Zajović from Belgrade’s association "Women in Black".

The funeral prayer was led by Mufti of Tuzla Vahid effendi Fazlović. Hatidža Mehmedović was buried at a local, family cemetery in Bektići near Srebrenica.
