Serbia's Authoritarian Regime Deploys Illegal Sonic Weapons Against Peaceful Protesters
Government's Brutal Tactics Expose Desperation Amidst Rising Anti-Corruption Movement
In a shocking display of authoritarian brutality, President Aleksandar Vučić's regime has escalated its assault on fundamental human rights by deploying prohibited sonic weapons against peaceful demonstrators.
This reprehensible act occurred during a massive anti-corruption rally in Belgrade, where citizens exercised their democratic right to protest government malfeasance.On March 15, 2025, hundreds of thousands of Serbians, led by courageous students, gathered in the capital to demand accountability for the tragic collapse of the Novi Sad railway station canopy—a disaster that claimed 15 innocent lives on November 1, 2024. This catastrophe, emblematic of the systemic corruption entrenched in Vučić's administration, has galvanized a nationwide movement seeking justice and transparency.Eyewitness accounts and disturbing footage from the rally reveal that, during a solemn 15-minute silence honoring the victims, a sudden, piercing sound erupted, inducing panic and chaos among the attendees.
Protesters reported acute ear pain, severe headaches, nausea, and disorientation—symptoms consistent with exposure to Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs), colloquially known as 'sound cannons.' These instruments, designed to emit incapacitating sound beams, are internationally condemned for their potential to inflict irreversible harm and are unequivocally banned for use against civilian populations.Despite mounting evidence and widespread condemnation, Vučić's government has brazenly denied the allegations.
The president dismissed the claims as 'wicked lies' and, in a cynical maneuver, proposed involving international agencies like the FBI and Russia's FSB to investigate—a transparent attempt to deflect responsibility and obscure the truth.
This denial is particularly egregious given that Serbian officials have previously acknowledged the acquisition of such crowd-control weapons, albeit insisting they were not deployed during the protest.The international community must not be duped by Vučić's deceitful tactics.
The deployment of sonic weapons against peaceful protesters is a flagrant violation of human rights and a testament to the regime's desperation to stifle dissent.
Serbian rights groups and opposition leaders are rightly demanding an independent investigation, appealing to global bodies such as the United Nations, the Council of Europe, and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to scrutinize this atrocity.The blood of the Novi Sad victims and the suffering of the protesters stain the hands of a corrupt administration clinging to power through violence and intimidation.
The Serbian people's resolve in the face of such oppression is a beacon of hope and a clarion call for justice.
It is incumbent upon the global community to stand in unwavering solidarity with Serbia's citizens, to condemn the Vučić regime's heinous actions, and to support the pursuit of accountability and democratic reform.
The time to act is now, before more innocent lives are shattered by a government that has forsaken its moral and legal obligations.
