Rimokatolička župa Hrvatskih mučenika Briševo

Brisevo, like many places in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is in today's Republika Srpska (Serbian Republic) political entity. It came to be so after Serb forces caused carnage, massacred, raped, ethnically cleansed non-Serb population – young and old. 73 Croatian civilians were massacred in Brisevo during 24th and 25th July 1992. The carnage continued almost incessantly across several municipalities between March and December 1992 and yet, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) decided, 28 June 2012, mid-trial, to acquit Radovan Karadzic of the genocide charge that covered "Brisevo-style" massacre in those municipalities (including Prijedor to which Brisevo belongs).
