Violation of basic human rights in Serbia
December 13 – December 26, 2024
Another challenging year is passing and towards its end the situation in society is still tense. Blockades and repression of high school students, students, and citizens continue. Thugs hit the crowd with cars and beat them, the first misdemeanor charges for participating in the protests are starting to arrive, the media close to the regime are targeting, the security services are eavesdropping…
However, the end of the year also brought hope. Hope was brought by young, smart and brave people who stood up to fight for all of us. For freedom, for equality, for a better tomorrow. They show us that our strength is unity and perseverance, that it is worth fighting for respect for the law and the rule of law, that it is worth fighting against corruption, crime, violence, arrogance, insolence and lack of culture. Their understanding and application of democratic principles at roadblocks gives us hope that future generations of those who will build our society will be better and more successful in creating a fair society and a society of equals. The youth together with the citizens lit up Slavia last week, but their struggle will certainly illuminate the years to come, and we wish you a lot of courage, perseverance and youthful spirit in the next one!
