"Baptized" with water: the last photograph of Hajrush Ziberi in Bijeljina

In early April 1992, members of Arkan's Tigers captured Hajrush Ziberi, a young Albanian from Macedonia who was working in Bijeljina. Photojournalist Ron Haviv photographed him with his hand raised, begging for help, and the next day could no longer find him. Ziberi's body was later recovered from the Sava, buried as unknown, and identified through DNA analysis only twelve years after his death.
