Serbia

Decades ago in Serbia, over two thousand couples in Serbia lost their newborn babies in mysterious circumstances. They were informed by hospital authorities that the babies had died: but the families were not provided with the bodies and there was no administrative trace of them being buried. The lack of evidence of any deaths indicated the involvement of a criminal gang. Decades on, some of the parents won a case at the European Court of Human Rights, which ruled that there had to be a proper investigation into the events. Seven years on from the judgment, no investigation has taken place.
