Student of the Faculty of Technical Sciences at the University of Novi Sad, Luka Mihajlovi\u0107, who was brutally beaten by members of the Gendarmerie in Belgrade during the Vidovdan protest, has still not fully recovered from the severe injuries he sustained that night. The public remembers that after surgery he was tied to a hospital bed, and four months later it turned out that none of the charges against him held up. The indictment was dismissed due to a lack of evidence and the fact that the witness questioned did not confirm the commission of a crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you remember Luka Mihajlovi\u0107? The student who, after the Vidovdan protest and police actions, ended up bloodied on the asphalt. Beaten, arrested, and handcuffed to a hospital bed. What followed was an acquittal, which his family learned about only by chance \u2013 through a message from a social worker who removed his ankle monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow there\u2019s simply a bitter taste in our mouths because this could have been resolved much earlier, and instead we spent days under stress, wondering whether his detention would be extended. While the reaction to his release from house arrest was joy, literally screams of happiness in the house, at the moment we read in that same document the passing mention that the indictment was dismissed, we were not happy, but angry. I don\u2019t know whether this is laziness or a game of nerves on the part of the prosecution, but it is certainly arrogance,\u201d said Jelena Mihajlovi\u0107, sister of the beaten student, for N1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That arrogance, she says, also left a mark on his body \u2013 in the form of three skull fractures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The use of excessive force is confirmed by footage on social networks. And that it was excessive to tie him to a hospital bed is confirmed by his lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think this kind of treatment was applied even to those who ran over people at pedestrian crossings \u2013 doctors, students \u2013 and were later pardoned. So our problem lies in the fact that people are treated differently depending on whether you are a loyalist or not,\u201d said Bo\u017eo Prelevi\u0107, lawyer of Luka Mihajlovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The indictment fell because there was no evidence, but questions remain \u2013 who is responsible for the brutality and abuse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Ministry of Internal Affairs, yes, those are the officers who brutally beat him, who tortured him psychologically and physically throughout this entire process, then the prosecution, which lacks documents, and then we have judges at the Higher Court who also get reassigned and manipulated in his case,\u201d said Jelena, Luka Mihajlovi\u0107\u2019s sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThose from the police who testified, testified honestly. Based on that, the prosecutor did not want to prolong the process by leaving the case unfinished or seeking new evidence, but instead dismissed the criminal complaint,\u201d stated Prelevi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The criminal complaint has been dismissed, the indictment has fallen, but the family says the case will not be shelved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s fair to mention that at the very beginning of this whole chaos we had the idea to transfer the entire process beyond the borders of Serbia, and I will only say that this idea has not left us yet,\u201d said his sister Jelena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
