In the case of the sixteen-year-old AC from Nikšić, a participant in the protest against the detention of Bishop Joaniki of Budimlja-Nikšić and eight priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) on May 13 in Nikšić - the police overstepped their authority, and the Nikšić General Hospital did not provide a complete and detailed report of his injuries, he found in to its Ombudsman report.
The gathering of citizens against the detention of Bishop Joaniki of Budimlja-Nikšić and eight priests of the Serbian Orthodox Church on May 13 this year in Nikšić turned into riots.
That evening, the police detained more than 30 citizens, including XNUMX-year-old AC, according to whom the police officers, according to the report of the Protector of Human Rights and Freedoms (Ombudsman), previously exceeded their powers.
"The fact that there was inhumane and humiliating behavior of police officers towards citizens was established not by this or any other party, but by the official state institution, which is the ombudsman institution," said Marko Mitrović, from the Municipal Board (OO) of Democratic Montenegro Nikšić.
The Ombudsperson's report further states that disproportionate force was applied to the minor, which was pointed out by his father after the incident, citing injuries.
"He has an injury to his frontal bone, injuries to his hair and a bruised upper lip," said Mile Cicmil, the minor's father.
However, the acting doctor, a specialist surgeon, did not ascertain all the injuries caused, nor did he describe them, while the same doctor was very detailed in describing the injuries in the case of a police officer who was allegedly injured by a minor, according to the Ombudsman.
The coalition "Peace is our nation" showed the minor's medical report and claimed that the director of the General Hospital, Ilija Ašanin, was behind it.
"Due to blindly serving the DPS, doctors are trampling on the Hippocratic Oath. Instrumentalized health workers do not treat everyone equally, so one approach is for police officers, and the other is for citizens, i.e. minors," said Ksenija Milović from the Demos party.
"We call on the competent prosecutor to react in the light of Article 414 of the Criminal Code. It is a criminal offense - falsification of an official document," said Mitrović.
Ašanin told Television Vijesti in a telephone conversation that he professionally and morally stands behind each of his reports.
Ašanin adds that the young man was also examined by a specialist in neurology, Dr. Boro Perović, and that he stated that the neurological findings were normal.
The Protector of Human Rights and Freedoms finally recommends that the General Hospital in Nikšić accurately and timely documents medical evidence indicating possible abuse, and that the Police Directorate immediately determine the responsibility of all officers who exceeded their authority towards a minor.
