A human rights group is suing a Swiss newspaper for denying there was a Serb genocide of Bosnian Muslims in the town of Srebrenica in 1995, according to the Serbianna website.
Fadila Memisevic -- a member of the Bosnian branch of the Germany-based Society for Threatened Peoples -- said her organization filed suit jointly on April 19, 2010 with the Swiss Association Against Impunity, TRIAL, in Lausanne. Swiss law prohibits genocide denial.
The semi-monthly, La Nation, recently published a series of articles claiming that 2,000 soldiers were killed in the "pseudo-massacre" in Srebrenica.
Bosnian Serb forces overran the Muslim Bosniak town in July 1995 and executed 8,000 men and boys in the worst massacre in Europe since World War II. In 2007, the International Court of Justice ruled the executions were genocide.
