Over a year after protests on March 15th, Serbian authorities have reopened the case surrounding a controversial “sound cannon” device used against protestors. This renewed investigation appears to coincide with increased public attention on other, unspecified cases. Critics allege the reopening is a deliberate tactic to divert focus from more pressing issues and potentially quell further dissent. The “sound cannon” case initially sparked outrage due to concerns over its potential to cause harm and its use against peaceful demonstrators. Details regarding the specifics of the reopened investigation remain limited, but it has already drawn criticism from opposition figures and civil society organizations. The timing of the move raises questions about the government’s motives and commitment to transparency. This development signals a potential escalation of tensions between authorities and those demanding accountability.
