On orders of the party\u2019s president, convicted war criminal Vojislav Seselj, they proceeded to push, hit and verbally abuse the activists; violently forcing them out of the public hall.<\/p>\n<p>The attack took place at the premises of the municipality\u00a0<em>Stari Grad<\/em>\u00a0in Belgrade, which is a public space, yet no staff or security personnel attempted to intervene to prevent the confrontation.<\/p>\n<p>Natasa Kandic is the recipient of the first Civil Rights Defender of the Year Award in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Our Director for Europe, Goran Miletic, commented \u201cit is very concerning that time and again, every discussion on Serbia\u2019s involvement in war crimes during the nineties\u00a0is met with violent abuse and harassment. Events promoting genocide-denial are completely unacceptable in any democratic society, let alone an aspiring EU member state. Not only should public authorities not provide public spaces for such manifestations, but they should take an active position against the promotion of war criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We stand\u00a0in solidarity with our\u00a0partners at this difficult time and call\u00a0upon authorities to immediately prosecute the perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/crd.org\/2020\/02\/06\/attack-against-civil-rights-defender-of-the-year-recipient-natasa-kandic-in-belgrade\/\">CRD<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Civil Rights Defenders strongly condemns the attack on Natasa Kandic and human rights activists at a public event in Belgrade,&#8230; ","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":179755,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[633],"tags":[2194,1747],"class_list":["post-179754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-civil-rights-defenders","tag-natasa-kandic"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
