Bogdan Jovičić, a FTN student who went on a hunger strike, was transferred to the Special Prison Hospital, the Administration for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions told Vreme. They emphasize that Jovicic is not on strike for the seventh but the fifth day
Student Bogdan Jovicic which seventh day is on hunger strike he was transferred late Wednesday afternoon to the Special Prison Hospital, the Administration for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions confirmed for "Vreme", but emphasized that "the information that this person has been on hunger strike for seven days is not correct because he started refusing food prepared in the institution on Friday, September 12, which means that today is the fifth day he has not taken food."
"Given this fact, his health condition and all vital parameters are monitored daily by the medical staff," states the Administration for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions.
It is added that the Administration, respecting the legal regulations that regulate the protection of patients' health data, is not able to make available to the public the information from Jovicic's health record.
"All persons who have the approval of the competent court in Novi Sad will be able to visit BJ during their stay in the Special Prison Hospital in Belgrade," announced the Administration for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions.
Students in the blockade of the Faculty of Technical Sciences (FTN) in Novi Sad previously announced that Jovičić had been transferred to the prison hospital.
In the meantime, information appeared that Jovicic was transported to the prison hospital of the Central Prison in Belgrade, but this information was denied to "Vreme" by the Administration for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions.
As they state, he is in the district prison in Novi Sad all the time, he has not been transferred anywhere, and whether he will be transferred to the special prison hospital of CZ in Belgrade, they say that he probably will.
"The person is all the time in the prison unit of the District Prison in Novi Sad," say the Administration for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions.
Students in the blockade previously announced that Bogdan Jovičić was transferred to the CZ hospital in Belgrade and called for an urgent gathering in front of that institution.

After a medical examination, Bogdan was informed this morning that he will be transferred to a prison hospital in Belgrade, his lawyer Srđan Kovačević told the Nova portal.
"I visited him this morning around 11.30:XNUMX and that's when he was told to get ready because he will be transferred to Belgrade. He was told that after a medical examination. Bogdan stands by the words he wrote in the letter, that he will fight to the end regardless of everything, and he told me that he is very glad that Serbia stood by him and that he is getting support for his fight, which is not only for him, but for all political prisoners and students," Srđan Kovačević, Bogdan's lawyer, told Nova.

In the call to the protest, the students announced that they demand the release of Bogdan Jovicic, a student who has been on hunger strike for seven days, from the competent institutions. They said that they will continue the protests until their demands are met.
As a fourth demand, the students ask for the withdrawal of the controversial changes to the Criminal Code. They warn that the changes to Articles 290, 178a and 343a would further limit civil liberties and introduce new forms of criminal liability which, they claim, pose a threat to protest participants and freedom of expression.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
The four independent members of REM are an example of perseverance and civic responsibility. Rodoljub Šabić even, upon leaving the premises of REM, after the sentencing of the Informer, experienced that the Essenes insulted him, hit him with their hands and feet. But that too will soon be over
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
