The Instagram account of photojournalist Gavrilo Andrić has been temporarily suspended due to alleged reports that the network received, and the most likely reason is some alleged posts that were presented as a violation of the network’s rules. The reports were sent from fake accounts, and represent an abuse of the channel and reporting mechanism.

The attack took place in similar periods of time as the attacks on the accounts of other portals and photojournalists. In the meantime, after quick notification of the Target and communication with the authorities, the account was restored to function.

Meta was informed about all the incidents, and NUNS informed the competent Special Public Prosecutor’s Office for VTK about these events.
