Serbian authorities are facing growing scrutiny over allegations that security forces deployed a 'sonic weapon' to disperse protesters at a massive anti-government rally in Belgrade.
Human rights groups and opposition figures claim that a long-distance acoustic device may have been used, potentially causing panic and a small-scale stampede. The government has strongly denied these accusations, insisting that no such weapon was employed. The protest, one of the largest in Serbian history, was driven by public outrage over corruption and governance issues.
Calls for an independent investigation into the incident are mounting as concerns over police tactics intensify.
