Due to the inaction of institutions and all other problems faced by all those who work by the law and call for accountability of the institutions and officials, the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy has established the Civil committee for the protection of human rights defenders and whistleblowers.
The Committee will address all issues related to the systemic threat to the safety of human rights defenders, whistleblowers, the work of independent journalists and other non-state actors who are criticizing the work of the Government. The Committee will consist of experts, lawyers, and media representatives who will respond quickly to inquiries.
It will consist of lawyer Rodoljub Sabic, lawyer and president of The Lawyers‘ Committee for Human Rights (YUCOM), Dr. Katarina Golubovic, lawyer Sofija Mandic and journalist Vuk Cvijic.
All citizens who feel threatened due to their activism, reporting corruption and other malversations, or want to inform the public about abuses of the public good should contact the e-mail branitelji.uzbunjivaci@bezbednost.org.
