boy falls from Mexico zipline

A 6-year-old boy in Monterrey, Mexico fell from a zipline at Fundidora Park when his seat belt broke. Fortunately, he landed in a lake without any injuries. The zipline company’s operations were suspended after an investigation by the Nuevo Leon State Civil Protection Coordination.

In a similar incident in Chiapas in December 2021, a 30-year-old man died when he collided with a pole due to a brake system malfunction. These incidents emphasize the need for proper safety measures in zipline operations.

Srebrenica Genocide Victims Laid to Rest on 30th Anniversary

Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.

The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.

Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.

Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
