AWARD HONORED WORK: Human Rights Abuses In Bosnia
In a potent series of stories, Gutman recounts the rape and pillage of Bosnia by Serb militants. Following the trail of blood, torture and sexual assault to remote villages, his stories document the barbarous process known as “ethnic cleansing.” Gutman found massive evidence of shelling of civilians, wanton murder of Muslim non-combatants, including many women and children, Nazi-style concentration camps and the systematic expulsion of more than one million Muslims.
