The Appellate Court in Novi Sad partially accepted the appeal of the defenders of the arrested activists of the Movement of Free Citizens and the group STAV i Marija Vasić, Lad Jovović and Lazar Dinić determined the measure ban on leaving the apartment with electronic monitoring.
They are prohibited from using the telephone and the Internet, as well as accepting other persons into the apartment, and this measure will last until August 20 at the latest, it was stated in the announcement of the Appellate Court in Novi Sad.
Judicial impasse: Release Marija Vasić immediately
When it comes to Mladen Cvijetić, Srđan Đurić and Davor Stefanović, the Court of Appeal annulled the decision of the High Court in Novi Sad and sent the case back to the first-instance court for re-decision, because "sufficiently clear, concrete and complete reasons were not given regarding the existence of conditions for the eventual application of a lenient measure".
Let us remind you that Professor Marija Vasić resides in the Special Prison Hospital in Belgrade, where she was transferred after her health deteriorated due to a hunger and thirst strike.
Marija Vasić is one of the six detained activists ahead of the big protest in Belgrade on March 15. Several pro-regime television stations and websites aired a recording of a conversation between 15 activists from Novi Sad, mostly members of the Free Citizens Movement (PSG), but also some other members of non-governmental organizations and informal student groups, the day before the big protest in Belgrade scheduled for March 12. It was only after the broadcast of this video that the prosecution reacted, even though the video was already contaminated by being broadcast in the media.
