Justice for woman raped during war in Bosnia

It took years for Zehra Murguz to be able to testify about what happened to her and other Muslim women in the "rape camps" run by Serb forces during the war in Bosnia.

Sarajevo —

One of the awful memories that drove her to give evidence was seeing a girl of 12 "with a doll in her arms" dragged into one of them.

Murguz felt she was also speaking "in the name of all the others, of that girl of 12 who will never talk... who was never found".

The horror began for her in the summer of 1992 when Serb forces took the mountain town of Foca and Murguz was taken to the Partizan gym, one of several notorious rape camps the Serbs ran.

For months, dozens of Muslim women and girls were gang-raped and forced into sexual slavery there.

Others were sold or killed.
