Brisevo - the biggest war crime against Croats in BiH
The massacre in the village of Brisevo was a war crime committed at the beginning of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 24 and 25, 1992, against Croats in the parish of Stara Rijeka, four kilometers south of Prijedor.
In the village of the "erased" name near Prijedor, 67 Croats of that place were brutally killed. The 1992 massacre in Brisevo, a Croatian village between Prijedor and Sanski Most, was committed by members of the 5th Kozara Brigade and the 6th Krajina Brigade from Sanski Most, one of the most massive Croat casualties in a single day during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Entire families of Briševo were executed: Matanovića 13, Buzuka 10, Ivandića nine, Marijana seven, Mlinar and Komljen five each ...
For example, father Mladen Matanović and two sons were killed in the massacre: 16-year-old Ervin and 18-year-old Johan Matanović.
Surviving witnesses claim that the crimes were horrific and that entire families were killed in them. Before the murder, almost all women were raped, and men were massacred by cutting off their noses, genitals, ears ... and other indescribable forms of torture ...
The youngest victim was 14-year-old Ervin Matanović, and the oldest was 81-year-old Stipo Dimač, and, unfortunately, it can be said that no one outside Briševo has heard of these victims and martyrs.
Today, 29 years later, only one fact hurts almost as much as the massacre of innocent people, and that is the silence of public opinion, especially the Croatian media and official Croatian politics in BiH. In proportion to how much media attention other crimes in BiH receive, especially certain crimes against Bosniaks and Serbs, it is safe to say that Brisevo does not exist as a place of remembrance and reverence.
In order to at least briefly tear this horrible crime from oblivion, we recommend to your attention a 2017 interview with Fran Piplović, co-author of the book Briševački mučenici and a report by Josip Vriček from 2020 entitled Briševački mučenici still waiting for justice.
