After the commemorative walk, part of the crowd walked to the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education, where the dean burst in with the police and masked men that day and kicked out the blocking students from the faculty building. The citizens gathered in front of the DIF, where the police were also present, who at one point suddenly started suppressing the citizens, and then started chasing the citizens who were returning home after the protest. The shameful and unjustified behavior of the police happened on the day when it was marked 10 months after the tragedy that started a wave of civil and student protests against corruption.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to DIF, incidents were also recorded in front of the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad. The dean, accompanied by the police, entered the faculty building and forbade the blocked students to enter. The following evening, the police threw tear gas at the gathered students and citizens.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attacks on journalists in Serbia have been at a record level in the last two months, according to a statement from Reporters Without Borders. In the observed period, the &#8220;arrest&#8221; of journalists by private security was also recorded because they tried to ask a question to the director of United Group, and related to the attempts of the top authorities of Serbia to stifle free media in Serbia in agreement with private actors. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about these and other cases recorded in the previous period, see the full report below:<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-89e8dd2b-fd0c-42f1-a33b-42dddf1a9290\" href=\"https:\/\/gradjanske.vuksha.com\/en\/?ttf_download=1455\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"file-download__link fl-pdf\">CASES OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN SERBIA AUGUST 22 &#8211; SEPTEMBER 4, 2025   <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/gradjanske.vuksha.com\/en\/?ttf_download=1455\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button file-download__link fl-pdf\" download=\"\" aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-89e8dd2b-fd0c-42f1-a33b-42dddf1a9290\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belgrade, September 4, 2025 Violation of basic human rights in SerbiaAugust 22 &#8211; September 4, 2025 Ten months after the fall of the canopy, Novi Sad was the site of an unnecessary police intervention directed against peacefully gathered citizens.
