Students in the blockade in Serbia have assessed that it says a lot about a person who they consider a hero, after Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić called activists of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, who have been in custody for four months, heroes, on suspicion of beating several students.
"A brief reminder for those who have forgotten why the 'heroes' were arrested: these 'heroes' smashed the girl's jaw. After the 'heroic feat', the prime minister of the country (Miloš Vučević) resigns. It says a lot about a person who he considers a hero," the students wrote on the social network Iks.
Vučić requested that SNS activists, who are accused of beating several Novi Sad students, seriously injuring one of them, be released.
"Freedom to the heroes! Nikola Blagojević, Danilo Rajičević, Stefan Kojović, Nemanja Despotović. Prison to the blockade terrorists," Vučić wrote on Instagram.
The president of the ruling SNS, Miloš Vučević, stated earlier today that he would call on members, supporters and citizens to blockade the court in Novi Sad, so that the four SNS activists would be released, which was also supported by the president of Serbia in a statement to Informer.
Four SNS activists are in custody on suspicion of beating two students in Novi Sad, seriously injuring one of them, after which Vučević resigned as Prime Minister of Serbia on January 28th.
The call from Vučić and Vučević comes after several days of blockade of the Novi Sad court by citizens and students, who were protesting the extension of detention of activists from the Movement of Free Citizens and STAV.
Earlier today, the Court of Appeal replaced the detention of three activists with house arrest, while returning the detention decision for the remaining three activists to the first-instance body for a decision.
