**Sonic Weapon Used on Protesters in Belgrade: Prosecutors Open Case**
A significant development has been made in the investigation into the use of a sonic weapon against peaceful protesters in Belgrade. The Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (TOK) has opened a case, following a complaint filed by the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV). This move is a crucial step towards holding those responsible accountable.
According to Aleksandar Olenik, lawyer and deputy leader of the LSV, the case has been assigned to prosecutor Aleksandar Isailovic. The LSV’s legal team demands that Isailovic consolidate all relevant legal cases, take statements from all victims, and conduct an expert assessment of sustained injuries. This comprehensive approach will ensure a thorough investigation into the use of the sonic weapon.
The move to file a criminal complaint was prompted by the need for a united front in demanding accountability. Olenik emphasized that only through collective action can those responsible be held accountable for their actions on March 15, 2025. The filing of the complaint marks an important milestone in seeking justice for the victims of the sonic weapon attack.
**Implications and Analysis**
The opening of this case sends a clear message: the use of sonic weapons against peaceful protesters will not go unchallenged. The Prosecutor’s Office is taking a proactive approach to investigate these allegations, which could have serious consequences for those involved.
The investigation will also shed light on the broader context surrounding the protests and the authorities’ response to them. It will be essential to understand how the sonic weapon was used, who authorized it, and what measures were taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
**A Step Towards Accountability**
The filing of this complaint is a significant step towards ensuring that those responsible for using sonic weapons against peaceful protesters are held accountable. The investigation will undoubtedly spark important discussions about freedom of assembly, police conduct, and the protection of citizens’ rights.
As Olenik noted, only through a united front can we achieve justice in this matter. The prosecution’s decision to open a case demonstrates that the system is capable of responding to allegations of abuse of power and protecting citizens from such tactics.
**The Road Ahead**
The road ahead will be long and complex. The investigation will likely involve testimony from victims, analysis of evidence, and consultations with experts. However, the opening of this case gives hope that those responsible for using sonic weapons against peaceful protesters will face justice.
As we continue to follow this story, it’s essential to remember that accountability is a fundamental right. The citizens of Belgrade and beyond deserve to know the truth about these events and to see perpetrators brought to justice.
