Hasan Nuhanovic (Zvornik, 2 April 1968) is a Bosniak survivor of the Srebrenica genocide who campaigns "For truth and justice" on behalf of other survivors and relatives of the victims.
Hasan, the former U.N.
interpreter for Dutch peacekeepers who were stationed in Srebrenica in 1995, at the end of the Bosnian war, has been battling the Dutch state in civil court for nine years.
Finally, in July 2011, he won on appeal against the Dutch Government with court stating the Dutchbat are to blame for handing over his family members to forces of Ratko Mladic who is currently being tried in The Hague.
His entire immediate family - mother, father and brother - were murdered by the Bosnian Serb Army and its allies from Serbia proper, when they were handed over to them by Dutch UN soldiers after seeking refuge in the UN protection force base at Potocari following the fall of the town of Srebrenica in July 1995.
Bosnian investigative journalist Dragan Stanimirovic nicknamed him the “Elie Wiesel of Bosnia", in a reference to another activist survivor of genocide.
