Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the views of Archbishop Alojzije Stepinac on the victims from Sibinj during the 1935 election campaign. For the events in which 15 Croatian peasants were killed the authorities accused the peasants themselves and the pastor from Podcrkavlje Mihovil Praskić. Archbishop Stepinac had clearly pointed out the underlying cause of everything: the inequality between peoples and the tyranny of the police. He allowed the celebration of the memorial mass service for the killed peasants, which annoyed the authorities. Inspired by the example of Zagreb, memorial mass services were spontaneously celebrated in other places of the Archdiocese as well, for the victims of the crime for which nobody has answered.
