In the Rector’s Office of the University of Novi Sad, during the events of September 5 in Novi Sad, where students and citizens took refuge from tear gas, the police forcefully entered, suppressing the crowd. People were imprisoned in the amphitheater, identified and searched; some were detained. Almost the entire team of the student media blokada.info was kept in the building.
The Blokada.info editorial team and team were isolated from other students and citizens because they were filming; their equipment was confiscated, and several of them were taken to the police station. They were released after giving a statement to the police.
