More than three years after violent protests against the then Janša government and anti-COVID measures, during which the police also used water cannon and tear gas, the court handed down its first conviction. It is not officially known what sentence it handed down.

The Ljubljana District Court sentenced four police officers who guarded the protest rallies under the previous government without trial, so it is premature to claim that it convicted them, the Specialized State Prosecutor's Office stressed for STA. At least two will appeal the verdict, so the first judgment is likely to be overturned.
