A court lacking competence, acting on the request
of an equally non-competent public prosecutor, has ordered the
30-day detention of Nikola Sandulovic. Due to the severity of his
injuries, strongly suggesting police brutality, Sandulovic could not
appear before the said court to address the grounds for his
detention, as outlined in the motion presented by the non-competent
public prosecutor.
The incident stems from Sandulovic's post on "X"
(formerly Twitter), where he publicly shared placing flowers at the
Adem Jashari Memorial Complex. He claimed to have sought forgiveness
on behalf of Serbs who had no involvement in the deaths of
innocents.
Sandulovic is formally suspected of instigating
National, Racial and Religious Hatred and Intolerance.
There are strong suspicions that Sandulovic was
badly beaten by secret service members before being formally taken
into custody. The severity of his injuries was such that the doctors
at the Belgrade Clinical Center noted that there is no possibility
of transporting him over long distances.
In their motion for the detention of Sandulovic,
the Public Prosecutors‘ Office stated there was a „geniuine
possibility that the suspect was a flight risk“ (bed stricken as he
was!) and that there were „indications that suspect will repeat the
offence“!
The non-competent court justified the detention by
citing the fear that the battered Sandulovic might tweet again and
repeat the alleged offense.
Nikola Sandulovic's case serves as a stark
illustration of the concerning state of our judicial system,
highlighting a disregard for basic rights in criminal proceedings.
It underscores the extent to which the state encroaches upon civil
liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.
