Lawyer Claims Serbian Investigation into Military Analyst Violates Human Rights

The investigation into military analyst Aleksandar Radić, who is reportedly being questioned regarding the alleged simulation of a sonic boom device, constitutes a violation of human rights, according to lawyer Vladimir Beljanski. Beljanski expressed concern over the lack of clarity surrounding Radić's legal status, noting that his apartment was searched and electronic devices were confiscated without a clear understanding of whether Radić is a suspect or merely a witness.

In the case of military analyst Aleksandar Radić, whose apartment was searched and electronic devices confiscated, and who is being questioned regarding the alleged simulation of the use of a sonic boom, this is a violation of human rights.

Beljanski criticized the investigative process, stating that the search of Radić's home involved the seizure of personal data alongside potentially relevant information, which he deems improper. He emphasized that such searches are permissible only when there is a suspicion of a committed crime, a basis he feels is missing in Radić's case. The lawyer pointed out the inconsistency in the prosecution's statements, which initially suggested Radić would be interviewed as a citizen, yet later implied proceedings were underway against him.

His apartment was searched and some personal belongings were taken, which, besides some data that could theoretically be of interest to the prosecution, also contains a lot of personal data that is certainly on computers, and that is something that should not function that way.

Furthermore, Beljanski posits that the "sonic boom simulation" narrative is a diversionary tactic by the authorities. He believes the government is using this fabricated story to cover up its own past failures and to intimidate citizens who might report adverse health effects, potentially signaling a slide towards dictatorship. Beljanski stated he has not seen any evidence supporting the simulation claim, suggesting it is a politically motivated fabrication aimed at silencing dissent.

The story about the simulation of a sonic boom came about because the authorities have no other justification for everything they have done so far.
