- summary
- Five Serbian civil society organizations issued a joint statement demanding the state urgently request a UN fact-finding mission into the March 15, 2025 sonic weapon incident against protesters. They denounced the Belgrade Higher Public Prosecutor's Office for converting the investigation into a political persecution of the victims and those who documented the incident, including the home search and detention of military analyst Aleksandar Radić.

- notes
- This fits the established Serbian doctrine of converting a documented state-suppression incident into evidence of a civic-led conspiracy, suppressing the legitimate investigation while criminalizing the documenters. The new element visible here is the civic counter-move: organized civil society formally demanding an external UN fact-finding mechanism as the only remaining impartial guarantor after domestic justice was captured. | Civic statement / Response document | Civic statement / Response document: https://www.gradjanske.org/zahtevamo-hitno-pozivanje-un-misije-za-utvrdjivanje-cinjenica-o-zvucnom-udaru-na-gradjane-15-marta-2025/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=zahtevamo-hitno-pozivanje-un-misije-za-utvrdjivanje-cinjenica-o-zvucnom-udaru-na-gradjane-15-marta-2025
