Witness O: a seventeen-year-old who survived an execution among the bodies of murdered men
After the fall of Srebrenica on 11 July 1995, seventeen-year-old Witness O surrendered on 13 July together with several thousand men, after protection under the Geneva Conventions had been promised over a loudspeaker. At dawn on 15 July he was shot at a mass execution site, but survived among the bodies and, together with another survivor, reached ARBiH-held territory. He gave his testimony before the ICTY on 13 April 2000 in the trial of Radislav Krstić.
