The events of July are one of the darkest chapters in the contemporary history of humanity. The commemoration of this genocide reminds the international community of the need for a commitment to justice, non-violence and a sense of responsibility in defending the oppressed, and calls on the international community, especially the powers that claim to uphold human rights and democracy, to adhere to genuine human values.
Although the rulings of the former International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia ICTY and the mechanism of the remaining cases of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia are important steps towards the administration of justice, Srebrenica remains a wound to the conscience of many, as survivors' mothers and homeless people are suffering.
We share in the grief of the families of the victims of Srebrenica who have worked tirelessly for twenty-six years to seek justice and work day and night, and we are committed to remembrance of the victims of this painful event to prevent it from being forgotten and denied.
I once again pay tribute to the high spirit of the oppressed martyrs of Srebrenica and wish them and their late leader Ali Ezzat Begovic divine mercy and for the government and honorable people of Bosnia and Herzegovina security, progress and pride.
I believe that the will of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to develop relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina in all areas. As a result of his struggle with the Communists, Yugoslavs, and Serbs, as these conflicts were centered around political struggles rejecting the occupation, Ali Ezzat was imprisoned several times.
The Yugoslavs imprisoned him in for three years, which was due to his opposition to the regime of Joseph Broz Tito, a politician of Croatian origin. Also, he and 12 of his colleagues were tried in on charges of promoting Islamic principles that were considered crimes in the eyes of the regime.
Ali Ezzat was also tried for organizing a visit to the Islamic Conference in Iran, and Izetbegovic and those with him were sentenced to fourteen years imprisonment.
Still, in the following May of the year of the ruling, and due to pressure from international organizations that saw the verdict as merely supporting communism, the Bosnian Supreme Court recognized that the accusations did not contain criminal acts and reduced the sentence to twelve years. After five years in prison, his health had suffered severe complications.
Ali Ezzat participated at the beginning of in the founding of the National Action Party, which became one of the largest parties in Bosnia later, and reached the leadership of the party in in May, then called for a referendum among the Bosnians with the aim of independence from Yugoslavia.
Ali Ezzat declared the country's independence in March The world recognized Bosnia and Herzegovina on May 22, , and it became a member of the United Nations. Ali Ezzat was appointed President of the Republic on March 3, , and he officially remained in this position at least until October 5, Because democracy is usually colluding with the stronger side, and because the world recognized Bosnia without protecting its independence, the Serbian forces supported by Yugoslavia attacked Bosnia and Herzegovina, declaring a war of ethnic cleansing throughout the country.
Atrocities were committed against the indigenous population of non-Serbs, especially Muslims, who were murdered. Hundreds of thousands established secret mass graves and raped thousands of Bosnian Muslim women.
From his simple home as a president's house, he was not concerned with appearances and luxury as much as freedom concerned him for the people of Bosnia and from his humble office.
Ali Ezzat kept fighting and planning for war in line with the Bosnian people's struggle to march against the operations of eradication and ethnic cleansing. In , after hundreds of thousands of deaths and much destruction and fear, NATO finally intervened, as its planes launched raids on the Bosnian Serbs until they were forced to withdraw from Sarajevo in September , leaving behind many dark memories that are hard to forget.
Ali Ezzat's books are of an intellectual and political nature based on his vision and understanding of the universality of Islam's message and teachings, in which he called for tolerance and coexistence between different religions and races. Among the most famous of these books include:. Ali Izetbegovic died on October 19, , in a Sarajevo hospital. More than two hundred thousand Bosnians walked his funeral and were buried in the martyrs' cemetery, where the graves of Bosnian soldiers were killed in the Bosnian war between and The cause of death was cardiovascular disease.
