Legal Chaos in Serbia: Šabić Exposes a Prosecutor’s Office Controlled by the Government!
Have you ever heard of such a legal mess that even lawyers are left speechless? Welcome to Serbia 2024, where criminal charges against protesters are so unprecedented that even Pinochet’s dictatorship would be jealous!
What’s going on?
Rodoljub Šabić, former Commissioner for Information of Public Importance and a lawyer, doesn’t hold back. He claims that the criminal charges against five arrested protesters, plus a house arrest measure for a sixth, are complete legal nonsense. There are no video proofs, no lawful wiretaps, only evidence taken from the tabloid Informer. Yes, you read that right — the prosecutor’s office relies on tabloids as if they were the holy gospel of justice!
Prosecutor’s Office Under Government Control?
Šabić slams the system: “The prosecutor’s office is unbearably subordinated to the executive branch and is leading us towards a reign of terror.” The higher court ordered detention for five suspects for “preparing acts against the constitutional order and security of Serbia,” while the sixth was given a ban on leaving the apartment. All denied guilt, but apparently, that doesn’t matter.
Protests and Government Fear
All this is happening ahead of the announced student protest on March 15, which the government clearly fears. Šabić says the government is doing everything to prevent the protest from being successful and to once again question its legitimacy. But here’s the craziest part: the prosecutor’s office claims that thousands of people at the protest were “armed with firearms and Molotov cocktails.” Where’s the evidence? There is none! Just empty claims that sound like a bad political thriller.
Legal Absurdities and Media Manipulation
Lawyer Šabić points out that the criminal complaint is based on a TV show, not real evidence. No audio recordings, no video footage, just “statements” and tabloid reports. Is this justice or a show for the public?
Why Does This Matter?
Because this is not just about five arrested people and one student under house arrest. It’s about a system where justice is used as a tool of the government, where freedom of expression is crushed, and citizens are intimidated. This is not just a legal problem; it’s a problem of democracy and human rights in Serbia.
Conclusion
If you think justice is blind, think again. In Serbia 2024, justice seems to wear rose-colored glasses put on by the government. And you? Do you believe in justice or have you already lost hope? Share your thoughts, maybe together we can find a way out of this legal maze.
And hey, if you have a hilarious comment or conspiracy theory about all this, drop it below — no judgment, just laughs (or tears) together.
