Police Pressure on FPN Students: When Repression Becomes the Norm
Is this Serbia or some horror police state? Students of the Faculty of Political Sciences (FPN) in Belgrade have been under brutal police pressure in recent days, reminiscent of the worst repression practices. Two female students were called for an informative interview at the Vračar Police Department, where they were detained without any written summons or legal explanation. One of them spent a full four hours being questioned, while information about the reason for detention was completely withheld.
But that’s not all! Another student was called to the Rakovica police station, and the police threatened to come if he did not respond, which students consider a threat rather than a lawful summons. Such police behavior is not an isolated incident but part of a broader pattern of institutional violence and intimidation against students who refuse to back down under pressure.
What’s happening to rights and freedom?
Students clearly say: “No one should be handled with force!” The police are trying to intimidate and break the spirit of young people fighting for their rights and freedoms. Instead of protecting citizens, some police bodies act as if they are above the law, summoning people for questioning without any legal basis and holding them for hours without information.
This situation is alarming and shows how repression has become normalized in our society. FPN students are not silent; they gather in front of police stations, call for support, and declare they will not give up. “We know what you’re trying to do — scare us, break us, force us to retreat. But we won’t!”
Institutional violence or intimidation?
What’s happening is not just pressure but systematic suppression of freedom of expression and the right to protest. Students are targeted because they don’t fit into the regime’s framework. The police use vague and illegal methods to scare and break them. But instead of retreating, students gather more and raise their voices louder.
This situation is a warning to all of us. Will we allow our freedoms to be extinguished under the pretext of order and law? Will we stay silent while young people are harassed and intimidated?
What’s next?
While the regime tries to exhaust and scare students, they don’t give up. They gather in front of police stations, call for solidarity, and refuse to abandon the fight for justice. This is not just a fight of FPN students but a fight for all of us who want freedom and justice in society.
If you think this is an exaggeration, think again. Four hours of questioning without legal explanation, police threats, lack of information to families and the public — this is not democracy, this is repression.
Conclusion
Institutional violence against FPN students is a clear sign that freedom and rights of young people are being suffocated in Serbia. The police should not be a tool of intimidation but a protector of citizens. Students have declared they will not be silent and will fight even harder. And us? Will we be mere spectators or join this call for justice?
