The European Court of Human Rights has asked the Republic of Serbia to answer questions about allegations that sonic weapons were used against protesters in Belgrade. This happened on March 15, 2025.
Serbia must respond by March 31, 2025. The court wants to know if it’s true that prohibited means were used against demonstrators. It also wants to know the legal basis for any alleged deployment of such devices and what safeguards are in place to prevent arbitrary use of force.
**Allegations Made Against Serbian Authorities**
Several civil society organizations have lodged an application with the European Court of Human Rights on behalf of 47 citizens of Serbia. They claim that peaceful protesters were violently interrupted by a sonic or similar device during a commemoration for victims of the Novi Sad Railway Station tragedy.
The organizations say they have evidence that shows physical injuries, severe distress, panic, and a stampede among those assembled. They also claim that over 4,000 citizens contacted them with firsthand accounts of various health issues, physical injuries, and psychological symptoms.

The European Court has instructed the applicant organizations to submit additional information by March 31, 2025.
