Politicians have been seen wearing white floral badges at Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons.
Boris Johnson and Liz Truss were among the MPs wearing the badge on their lapels on Wednesday.
The small white flower with a green centre is a sign of remembrance of the Srebrenica genocide which took place in Bosnia in 1995.
Its eleven petals are meant to represent the day the massacre took place, July 11.
Around 8,372 men and boys were murdered and buried in mass graves when Serbian forces led by Ratko Mladić entered the village which had been declared a “Safe Area” by the United Nations.
This year represents the 27th anniversary of the atrocity which targeted Bosniak Muslims.
The flower’s green centre represents hope for justice and recognition of the genocide.
The colours and shape of the flower also represent the burial of the victim, as the casket is draped in green while mourning women dress in white to surround it.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
