Serbia protesters claim police used ‘acoustic weapons’

Belgrade authorities have rejected the “blatant lies” amplified by a Soros and USAID-backed NGO

Serbian authorities have called for an investigation and prosecution of those responsible for spreading misinformation after opposition leaders and a foreign-funded NGO accused security forces of using sound cannons against protesters in Belgrade.

More than 80,000 people took part in an anti-government protest on Saturday, described as one of the largest in Serbia’s recent history.

Multiple video clips from the rally showed protesters reacting to a sudden whooshing sound, triggering a brief stampede as the crowd moved away from the center of the road. However, the demonstrators soon returned, visibly puzzled but seemingly unharmed.

The opposition Freedom and Justice Party (SSP) accused security forces of deploying a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), a crowd-control sound cannon that emits high-frequency sounds exceeding 160 decibels and can cause pain and disorientation.
