To mark Srebrenica Memorial Day, I honoured those who were murdered during the genocide 23 years ago, by signing the Remembering Srebrenica Book of Pledges, promising to stand up to hatred and intolerance and promote a fair, equal and cohesive society for everyone.

Today marks the 23rd anniversary of the worst atrocity on European soil since World War Two when over 8,000 men and boys were murdered just because of their faith in the Srebrenica genocide. The Srebrenica Memorial Week takes places from 8th – 15th July, with about 2000 memorial events activities taking place across the country arranged by schools, faith groups and community organisations.
