Alleged arbitrary arrest, detention and prosecution of a large number of individuals in 30/07/2015
the context of peaceful protests in the city of Skopje between 5 and 13 May 2015.
According to the information received, on 5 May 2015, 42 people were arrested and
detained for their presumed role in peaceful protests denouncing police brutality and
the lack of accountability for the killing of a protestor on 6 June 2011, which occurred
in the context of the post-2011 parliamentary election celebrations, in Skopje.
Information further suggests that out of these 42 people, 12 were placed in pre-trial
detention and face criminal charges and that an additional four individuals were
arrested and placed in pre-trial detention under the same charges on 13 May 2015.
Allegedly, the pre-trial detention of these individuals is used to prevent them from
taking part in the ongoing peaceful demonstrations.
