Violation of basic human rights in Serbia
May 30 – June 12, 2025
Arrests of students and citizens protesting and showing their dissatisfaction intensified in the previous period. Because of the incident in “Studenjak”, when Miloš Pavlović, the leader of the so-called “students who want to study”, more than 18 people were detained. In contrast to this express, mass arrest, the persons who attacked the young YouTuber in Pionirski Park were not arrested, even though the police were only a few steps away from the scene of the attack. In the previous report, we informed you about the attack on the N1 cameraman by a local official from Kosjerić. That official, Ljubiša Knežević again physically attacked an activist, and the protection under which the officials and sympathizers of the ruling party are placed does not give hope that this official will be punished even for this violent attack.
For more information about these and other cases recorded in the previous period, see the full report below:
