Summary

The footage you see in "Kosovo and Beyond" details gruesome evidence of Serbian torture and killing of ethnic Albanians. In June 1999, WITNESS' Executive Director Gillian Caldwell and Technology Consultant Eric Leland flew to Albania to train and equip five Kosovar Albanian journalists with digital cameras, who returned to Kosovo to document human rights abuses there. Facing severe risks, these journalists captured evidence of some of the worst violations of human rights in history. Visiting massacre-sites, mass-graves and speaking to survivors and family members of victims, they gathered powerful visual evidence of the range of atrocities committed in Kosovo in violation of international law. Testimonies featured in "Kosovo and Beyond," such as that of Isa Gashi, describe in excruciating detail instances of looting, torture (including burning and mutilation) and killing of civilians
