Banja Luka, March 19, 2023 – Transparency International in BiH condemns the attack on activists that took place in front of the TI BiH office on March 18, 2023 during an internal meeting of activists. TI BiH believes that this attack is a direct consequence of messages sent from the highest level of government, labeling and intimidating activists who fight for human rights. Such messages gave impetus to violence by an organized group of hooligans, which led to injuries and endangered the lives of individuals.
TI BiH calls for these, and all other attacks that occurred in the previous period, to be investigated and severely sanctioned as soon as possible, and to provide protection to citizens. We also call on the authorities in Republic of Srpska to stop targeting and inciting the public against activists, journalists and civil society, in order to prevent new attacks and further escalation of violence.
