Pionirska Street fire: Difference between revisions

 

==Trial==

When Judge Patrick Robinson, presiding, summed up the [[International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia]]'s findings following the trial of Milan and Sredoje Lukić, he observed that: <blockquote>In the all too long, sad and wretched history of man’s inhumanity to man, the Pionirska street and Bikavac fires must rank high. At the close of the twentieth century, a century marked by [[world wars|war and bloodshed on a colossal scale]], these horrific events stand out for the viciousness of the incendiary attack, for the obvious premeditation and calculation that defined it, for the sheer callousness and brutality of herding, trapping and locking the victims in the two houses, thereby rendering them helpless in the ensuing inferno, and for the degree of pain and suffering inflicted on the victims as they were [[burned alive|burnt alive]].<ref name="icty2009"/></blockquote>
