 ©Human Rights Watch 1999 The remains of an ethnic Albanian man killed by Serb security forces on April 27 in the village of Meja. Albanians were forcibly expelled from nearly a dozen neighboring villages that morning; when they reached Meja a large group of police and military systematically stripped the convoys of men. The men were later executed near the side of the road. One witness described how she was forced out of her village at 8:00 a.m., arriving in Meja with her family on a tractor two hours later. "There were about forty people on our tractor, and they took twelve men," she said. "They took all of the men." (For further information, see Kosovo Human Rights Flash #34.) |
