Journalist Ruždija Šabotić, who started a hunger strike this morning in front of the Novi Pazar General Hospital on the advice of a doctor, ended the strike after his health deteriorated. Sabotic is a person with a disability and a chronic patient.
Members of the security, who was hired by the General Hospital Directorate, prohibited journalists from taking photos and taking statements from Šabotić, explaining that it was a red zone.
In the presence of the police, the editor of the SNews portal, Medina Halilović, verbally assaulted a man and threatened him with death. This happened after Halilović tried to take a couple of photos, at the time when they tried to get Ruždija Šabotić out of the bench in front of the OB Novi Pazar Children’s Department.
Due to the verbal attack and threats, as well as the inert behavior of the police, Medin Halilović submitted a report to the Internal Control Service of the Serbian Ministry of the Interior, the OSCE Mission in Serbia, human rights organizations and journalists’ associations .
Sabotic is one of the activists gathered around the Free Citizens Initiative, who protest every day in front of the management of the General Hospital of Novi Pazar. Sabotic demands that the “exact number” of deaths from coronavirus in Novi Pazar be announced, as well as how the donations received by the hospital in recent months were spent, and that the Superior Prosecutor’s Office initiate an investigation based on information published in this regard.
“I am just asking the institutions of the system to start doing their job,” Sabotic told H1.
According to him, Novi Pazar’s patients received no medication.
“We didn’t have written prescriptions, we had to buy all the therapy,” he says.
