Bosnian refugees evacuated for ethnic cleansing

The transcript describes the plight of 400 men, women, and children who are being ethnically cleansed from their villages by Bosnian Serbs. The British supervise their crossing of the front line, but the Serbs refuse to allow buses to cross, fearing they won't get them back. The people are forced to walk, carrying only what they can, through a mined road. They leave behind their homes, becoming victims of war.

The Serbs warn of further expulsions of Muslims in the coming days.
