SSP on the Brutal Attack on Peđa Mitrović by SNS Thugs

A group of about ten SNS thugs and criminals attacked around 10 p.m. tonight at the intersection of Knez Miloš and Birčaninova streets, inflicting serious injuries with metal rods on Peđa Mitrović, the Secretary General and MP of the Party of Freedom and Justice. He was struck multiple times with batons on the head and body. Mitrović sustained a head injury, with heavy bleeding stopped by medical workers volunteering at the protest.

This happened after one of the SNS thugs first approached him and demanded that he delete a video he had recorded on his phone. When Peđa Mitrović refused to do so and stated that he was an MP, the man called the other thugs, who then attacked him. He managed to escape by breaking free and running toward Nemanjina Street. The police were not present at the scene, and when they did arrive, they did not in any way attend to the man who was sitting in the street covered in blood. Given that the location is covered by cameras, the authorities can easily obtain the footage and identify the attackers — which, of course, will not happen.

The Party of Freedom and Justice warns that it is only a matter of time before criminals under the protection of the regime inflict fatal injuries on one of the demonstrators. The responsibility for such a tragic outcome lies solely with Aleksandar Vučić and his regime.
