Novi Sad activists protest detention with road blockade

In Novi Sad, the local community has taken to the streets to voice their strong opposition to the detention of activists. The recent 20-minute blockade of a central intersection, a symbolic gesture for each day the two activists have spent in jail, demonstrates the community's unwavering support.

The "Students Win" banner and the chanting of "Pumpaj," a slogan from past student protests, highlight the connection between current grievances and a history of activism. The arrests, which followed searches of homes and offices, have clearly galvanized public opinion against what many perceive as an unjust crackdown.

The decision by the Novi Sad Basic Court to uphold the 30-day detention order has only fueled the determination of the local community assemblies. Their commitment to daily road blockades, with each protest lasting a minute longer than the last, signals a significant escalation of their efforts. This sustained action underscores the deep-seated desire for the release of their fellow activists and a broader call for justice.
