Bosnia and Herzegovina: Amnesty International calls for impartial investigation into death of human rights defender

http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGEUR630012007

This is a really awful case, not only was a man killed, but the killers seriously injured his daughter, and it's pretty obvious that why it happened had to do with human rights.

I've been watching their trajectory with great misgivings. I do not like where this is going.

We have rain here, and the weather services always mention some chance of snow or other. The fact is that real snow hasn't been back for a bit, we have had flurries, I know because I've been out and about in them, but no real snow.
Sorting through old stuff as I de-junk the place, and I found many old articles on the war in BiH in old New Yorker magazines, old Newsweek and old Time magazines. These date to long before I had any close ties to anyone from BiH, and long before I knew my family had some Bosnian ancestry. The war upset me back then enough that I kept them through as many as four moves.

Comments:
Well, greetings from Bosnia, now. The war was awful - I know I lived in Sarajevo, before, then and now, but believe me everything after war is moving forward very,very,very slow!
