Demonstrators who sat on the street in February 2014 were again acquitted of the charges of not complying with the police order to move away.
This is the second first-instance verdict of Podgorica Basic Court judge Goran Đuković, who started and ended the retrial yesterday.
Marko Milačić, Boban Batrićević, Ninoslav Kaluđerović, Irena Delja, Danilo Mrvaljević, Miro and Milka Radević and Aljoša Turović were arrested while peacefully protesting the bad situation in the country.
This time, the judge stated that he made the decision by applying international documents, that is, the European Convention on Human Rights and Freedoms.
The higher court had previously annulled the verdict, stating that the first-instance court had not sufficiently reasoned the verdict.
Police officers Jovica Rečević, Ivan Stamatović and Darko Knežević claimed at the trial that they had to detain the protesters because they were obstructing traffic.
A group of hooligans with phantom girls, who then raised tensions at a relatively peaceful protest and threw stones at the police and the Government building, is still beyond the reach of the law.
