Sjećanje na žrtve Ahmića.
Ahmići su selo u centralnoj Bosni i Hercegovini (općina Vitez). Prema popisu iz 1991. godine imali su oko 466 stanovnika, većinom bošnjačke nacionalnosti, a uoči napada u selu su boravile i izbjeglice iz okolnih područja.
U ranim jutarnjim satima 16. aprila 1993. godine, snage HVO-a izvršile su koordiniran napad na Ahmiće i druga mjesta u dolini Lašve. Napad je započeo oko 5:30 granatiranjem, nakon čega su vojnici ušli u selo.
Ubijeno je 116 civila, među kojima žene, djeca i starije osobe, uključujući 11 djece. Civili su ubijani u kućama i tokom pokušaja bijega. Većina bošnjačkih kuća je spaljena, a uništene su i dvije džamije.
Međunarodni sudovi su utvrdili da je napad bio usmjeren protiv civilnog stanovništva i da nije bio vojno opravdan.
Za zločine povezane s Ahmićima osuđeni su, između ostalih: Dario Kordić (25 godina), Tihomir Blaškić (9 godina), Miroslav Bralo (20 godina), Drago Josipović (12 godina) i Vladimir Šantić (18 godina).
In memory of the victims of Ahmići.
Ahmići is a village in central Bosnia and Herzegovina (municipality of Vitez). According to the 1991 census, it had around 466 inhabitants, mostly of Bosniak nationality, and in the period leading up to the attack, the village was also hosting refugees from surrounding areas.
In the early morning hours of April 16, 1993, HVO forces carried out a coordinated attack on Ahmići and other locations in the Lašva Valley. The attack began around 5:30 a.m. with shelling, after which soldiers entered the village.
A total of 116 civilians were killed, including women, children, and the elderly, among them 11 children. Civilians were killed in their homes and while attempting to flee. Most Bosniak houses were burned, and two mosques were destroyed.
International courts determined that the attack was directed against the civilian population and was not militarily justified.
Those convicted for crimes related to Ahmići include, among others: Dario Kordić (25 years), Tihomir Blaškić (9 years), Miroslav Bralo (20 years), Drago Josipović (12 years), and Vladimir Šantić (18 years).
