Lawyer and member of the Start-Change movement, Nikola Tadić, told the "Vremena" portal that he expects that a criminal complaint will be filed against Manojlović, but what type and on what basis is not yet known.
"It will probably be a misdemeanor criminal complaint, but you never know until we get the complaint on paper." "We don't know at the moment which criminal offense the report will refer to," explains Tadić.
"The police are now calculating"
The video of the arrest of Savo Manojlović clearly shows that four members of the police first knocked him to the ground, and then literally carried him off the Old Sava Bridge.
After the arrest, Manojlovic was transferred to the Emergency Center, because he felt bad after the brutal manner of the arrest.
"Savo suffered minor physical injuries in the area of his knees, hands, head and chest." So, almost on the whole body", confirmed his lawyer.
Tadić believes that there are no criminal charges yet, because, as he says, the police are now calculating and thinking about how to reduce the consequences of their negative actions and excessive use of force.
Blockade of the Old Sava Bridge
Everything happened when the cordon of the Gendarmerie, fully equipped, was deployed early in the morning on the Old Sava Bridge. Old Sava bridge near the former bus station. Concrete and concrete barricades were installed, with which both sides of the bridge were completely closed.
The gendarmerie detained Sava Manojlović, a Belgrade councilor from Kreni-promeni, on the bridge and handcuffed him. He resisted and apparently force was used. He sat bound and gagged on the bridge surrounded by gendarmes.
Then they picked him up and took him to the hospital. As they carried him, he could be heard moaning.
In addition to Manojlović, handcuffs were placed on the city councilor of that movement, Aleksandar Jovanović.
