The commander of the Serbian special anti-terror unit has been arrested

Igor Žmirić, commander of Serbia's special anti-terrorism unit, was arrested following allegations of involvement in the mistreatment of protesters during last year's demonstrations. His arrest is part of a larger crackdown on police officials after the Serbian Progressive Party's electoral defeat. A total of nine police officers are under investigation for abuse and torture related to the detention of students, including Nikolina Sinđelić. This wave of arrests follows a series of detentions of state officials in Serbia, raising concerns about accountability within the police force.
