More than 100,000 people have joined Belgrade, culminating in a series of protests since the accident that occurred at Novi Sad station on November 1, which killed 15 people, when the recently renewed building coverage has collapsed, there have been successive demonstrations in the country
The Government of Serbia denied that security forces used a Military Solian weapon to reach and disperse protesters against corruption and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in the capital.
On Sunday, Vucic asked the judicial authorities to respond to the allegation of “that sound guns were used during the protests,” said state station RTS.
“I am asking (…) from the Ministry of Justice and the Public Prosecution Service to react, be to process those who used [armas sónicas]and we know they didn’t, but let’s check it out, ”said the president.
“That there is a process, but then they should also sue those who made public such a notorious lie,” added the head of state.
Opposition leaders and Serbian Human Rights Defense Groups claimed that acoustic, widely prohibited weapons that issue a beam directed to temporarily disable people were used during Saturday’s protest.
These groups promised to submit actions at the European Court of Human Rights and in national courts against those who ordered the attack.
More than 100,000 people have joined Belgrade, culminating in a series of protests since the accident occurred at Novo Sad Station, on November 1, which killed 15 people, when the recently renewed building’s concrete coverage has collapsed, there have been successive demonstrations in the country.
Saturday’s protest filled the streets of the center of the capital and, according to police, at the peak of the protest will have been about 107,000 people, although the ‘media’ independent Serbs said the number was higher.
Following isolated incidents between protesters and the police, several college students – who have led protests in the last four months – declared the end of the demonstration because they considered that security conditions were not guaranteed.
Protest videos show people standing for 15 minutes of silence through the November disaster, when suddenly a Sibulant sound was heard that immediately triggered panic and a brief stampede.
Military experts say that those who are exposed to a Sónica weapon feel severe ear pains, disorientation and panic. Prolonged exposure can cause eardrum ruptures and irreversible auditory damage.
Daily demonstrations have become more tense since the government accused protesters of being paid by foreign agencies and preparing violent actions or even a revolution.
The United Nations has appealed to the Serbian authorities so that they did not unduly interfere with the demonstrations and respect the full exercise of the rights to freedom of peaceful meeting and freedom of expression.
