Hell in Žabljak: Police Abuse That Led a Man to Death!
Has the police in Žabljak crossed every line? A case shaking Montenegro and the region reveals chilling details of abuse that allegedly led to the suicide of a local man.
What happened? In February this year, B.K., a resident of Žabljak, reported that during his arrest by the police, he sustained injuries to his face. He posted a photo on his Facebook profile showing the injury and named police officer S.Š. as responsible. Just one day after this post, B.K. committed suicide in his family yard.
How did the prosecution respond? The Basic State Prosecutor’s Office in Pljevlja immediately reacted and filed criminal charges against the police officer on suspicion of abuse. The investigation was opened on February 7, and the police officer was suspended. Emergency medical services confirmed the injuries to B.K., which occurred while he was in the police vehicle.
Why does this matter? This case casts a dark shadow over the police work in Žabljak and raises questions about how protected citizens are from abuse of power. Is it possible that those who are supposed to uphold the law are the ones breaking it? And what happens when victims have nowhere to turn?
What do the citizens say? B.K. wrote on Facebook: “This is what Žabljak police do if you want to report something, someone is harassing you.” This message echoes as a warning to all of us – is this the reality we live in?
What’s next? The investigation is ongoing, and the case is under close public scrutiny. The police officer has been suspended, but is that enough? Will justice be served for B.K. and his loved ones?
Conclusion This tragic event is a wake-up call for all of us. Police abuse is not just an individual problem but a systemic issue that can have deadly consequences. While we await the investigation results, a bitter taste of injustice and unanswered questions remain.
What do you think about this case? Is this just the tip of the iceberg? Share your thoughts, maybe together we can spark some change.
