The NGO is looking for a sharp reaction from the authorities to the violent intrusion into the migrant center in Obrenovac
The Initiative for Economic and Social Rights A 11 condemned the violent intrusion into the car of citizen F.R. to the Reception Center for Migrants in Obrenovac, as well as “the propaganda way in which he decided to share his unconstitutional and illegal acts with the general public.”
The initiative called on the authorities to respond to the event, but also to react to “other individuals and groups that publicly incite and spread national and religious hatred and intolerance.”
“The response of the competent judicial authorities to this incident must be the sharpest possible, considering that the legal features of several criminal acts have been realized here, and above all the criminal act of inciting national, racial and religious hatred and intolerance,” the initiative said.
They stated that in addition to inciting national, racial and religious hatred and intolerance, for which a prison sentence of up to eight years was threatened, the young man also committed the crime of causing general danger because he committed the crime in the presence of a large number of people.
“Since the employees of the Commissariat for Refugees have the status of an official, while the employees of the Ministry of Defense have the status of a military person, in the behavior of F.R. the legal features of an attack on an official and an attack on a military person have also been acquired”, they stated in the initiative A 11.
They also assessed that the incident was “just one in a series that took place in the past few months, and which occurred as a consequence of the increasingly prevalent anti-refugee discourse advocated not only by various formal and informal associations but also by individual parliamentary parties.”
A video appeared on social networks in which a young man from Obrenovac, in a car, breaks in and drives through the Reception Center for Migrants, which is provided by the Serbian Army in that city.
H1 television reported that it was about F.R. (20), who first broke through the wire fence of the Reception Center for Migrants by car at around 7 pm on May 6, and then flew through the main entrance next to a group of people, who got out of the way at the last moment.
The young man stopped the car only at the military security, which called the police, who arrested him.
F.R. broadcast the event live on his Facebook profile, all the while delivering racist messages about migrants. No one was injured in the incident, and according to H1, it is expected that the Higher Prosecutor’s Office will characterize the case and what punishment it will request for the arrested person.
The Commissariat for Refugees and Migration of Serbia today condemned the intrusion into the Reception Center in Obrenovac and stated in a statement that “fortunately no one was killed.”
