Više javno tužilaštvo in Beograd has dropped charges against nine students accused of preparing a plot against the Serbian constitution and security. The decision follows a court ruling that secret videos obtained by the BIA are unlawful evidence, leaving the prosecution without sufficient proof to continue the case.
The nine students, including Luka S, Bojo B, Lazar S, Ivana M, Dušan S, Dimitrije S, Dimitrije D, Nikola P, and Luka D, were targeted for months as terrorists and state enemies. Their alleged crimes were presented as proven facts, but the court has now ruled that the evidence used to build the case was illegally obtained.
The students' group has called for accountability for the public targeting and the destruction of their reputations. They emphasize that the law should have protected them from the start, and that the unlawfulness of the evidence is not a political question but a legal one. They demand justice for the nine students and all their colleagues who were wrongly convicted under the previous regime.
