Serbian Government Faces Allegations of Sonic Weapon Use at Mass Protest

A week has passed since the mass protests in Serbia, but the student struggle against the government of Vucic is not over. The suspicion is that its security forces have used a special weapon. If this is true, this could completely change the situation.

Protesters claim that a heavy sound cannon was used during fifteen minutes of silence last Saturday – held for fifteen victims of a collapsed station roof.

NGOs have already collected more than 3,000 testimonies describing the sonic attack in recent days.

It would have happened Saturday in Belgrade: they tell of a very loud sound, like a plane about to land nearby, the Serbian government denies

Serbian authorities are suspected of using so-called sound cannons to disperse demonstrators in the country's widespread wave of protests. Officially, the allegations are denied, but opposition leaders are calling for an independent investigation.
