As a reminder, the student plenum of the Higher School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in Belgrade announced last night that an incident occurred in front of the institution, which included “a violent attack on a student and the school’s security guard.”
“An unidentified person drew the silhouette of a middle finger on the school façade, clearly intending to provoke students participating in the blockade. The security guard and students quickly intervened to stop the perpetrator, but they were attacked in the process. The individual did not act alone, as they were accompanied by several others who later joined in and actively provoked conflict with our colleagues,” the students’ statement read.
The students called on all faculties, student organizations, and individuals to join them today at 11:52 AM in front of the Higher School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science to show solidarity, unity, and determination in the fight for students’ rights.
