Although the stipulated 48 hours for the resolution of the appeal against the detention of the former Vice President of the Government of Vojvodina have expired Goran Ješić, court in Novi Sad he did not do that, thereby violating his legal obligation, said Ješić's legal representative, lawyer Vladimir Beljanski.
"It's been 48 hours since we submitted our complaint. "The court violated the obligation to resolve the appeal, and therefore Goran Ješić is in custody illegally," said Beljanski.
He explained that the law provides for an express deadline of 48 hours for the court's action in such a case, because it is a deprivation of the basic human rights to freedom and security, which is why strict control of the court and its urgent action is required in such situations.
Beljanski wondered how it was possible that the court "showed extraordinary speed" in resolving the prosecution's appeal, and now it is not showing the same speed, even though it is obliged to do so by law.
Ješić, I went to the police station
Goran Ješić was arrested during a mass demonstration in Novi Sad, on the evening of November 1, in which more than 20.000 people participated, who demanded the regime's responsibility for the tragedy in which 14 people died and three were seriously injured when an armored vehicle fell on them -concrete canopy of the entrance of the recently reconstructed Railway Station.
Ješić told, and this could be seen on certain televisions that recorded the arrest, that he tried to defend a young man who was attacked by unknown persons in plainclothes, who only later identified themselves as policemen in plainclothes.
The next day, a young man who was defended by Ješič, a student of the Academy of Arts, Relja Stanojević, who is still in custody, was arrested, and the Academy launched a petition for his release.
Goran Ješić is suspected of assaulting an official and spent 48 hours in custody, after which the court decided to release him.
The prosecution appealed the court's decision, and Ješić was remanded in custody on Friday, this time for up to 30 days.
Ješić did not wait for the arrival of the police, but went to the police station himself, from where he was taken to the Klisa prison.
Ješić then said that he did not want to be free, "while the children are in prison."
