Shocking Injustice in Croatia: Serb Deported for Three Fingers, but Pakistani Rapist Allowed to Stay!
Croatia is facing an absurd situation that will make you question what is happening with justice and the law. While a 22-year-old Serbian citizen is punished and deported for posting a photo on social media showing three fingers, which authorities interpret as a nationalist symbol, at the same time a serious criminal, a Pakistani citizen who was legally convicted of rape, is not deported and has now been arrested again for a new rape!
Case Details Revealing Judicial Chaos
Pakistani citizen Mohamad Sh. was previously sentenced to four years in prison for rape. Although the law clearly states that foreign nationals who have been legally convicted and sentenced to an unconditional prison term longer than one year must be deported, he remained in Croatia. After serving his sentence, he was not deported but continued to live and work in Croatia, where he has now been arrested again for raping a Nepali woman he employed.
On the other hand, a young man from Serbia was immediately found, detained, and charged with a misdemeanor for posting on Instagram while riding a motorcycle and showing three fingers, which the police interpreted as a nationalist symbol. He was also issued a deportation order from Croatia and banned from entering the EU and EEA.
Why Such a Discrepancy?
Lawyer Veljko Miljević explains that deportation is not an automatic process and depends heavily on who initiates the procedure and how it is conducted. In the Pakistani case, the state prosecutor did not request deportation, while in the Serbian case, it was requested immediately. Miljević emphasizes that lawmakers should better regulate this issue and clearly define the criteria for deportation.
The Foreigners Act mandates deportation in cases of serious criminal offenses, but apparently, this is not applied consistently. This case raises serious questions about justice, safety, and equality before the law in Croatia.
Public Reaction and What This Means for Society
This situation has sparked numerous comments and condemnations on social media. People wonder how it is possible that a repeat rapist is not deported, while a young man is punished for a symbol that for many is just a sign of identity.
Such cases undermine trust in the judicial system and send a message that laws are not equal for everyone. Is this just the beginning of a serious problem, or will the authorities finally react and correct the injustice?
Conclusion: Croatian Justice on Trial
While the Serb is judged and deported for three fingers, real criminals remain free and commit new crimes. Such a disproportionate approach to justice is not only unfair but also dangerous for society. Urgent reform and consistent application of laws are needed, regardless of nationality or origin.
