The internal control department of the Sarajevo Canton Police Directorate has received a complaint regarding the actions of the officers who detained activist Nidzara Ahmetasevic on Saturday and initiated an internal investigation into the matter.

Ahmetasevic was released from custody on Saturday afternoon after she was detained that morning in Sarajevo for disturbing public order and “disobeying the orders of an officer.”

The circumstances that led to the detention can be seen in a video posted on social media. It shows her arguing with police officers.

Ahmetasevic can be heard asking one of the officers to wear his mask because of the pandemic several times in the video.

“Put handcuffs on this fool, let’s take her to Jagomir,” one of the officers can be heard saying as she is being detained, referring to a psychiatric hospital in the city.

According to the KS Interior Ministry, Ahmetasevic was detained after she disturbed public order and peace, insulted police officers and obstructed their work “for no reason.”

The Ministry resolutely rejected allegations that Ahmetasevic was detained because of her activism, saying the officers only acted in line with the Law on Misdemeanors and the powers of police officers prescribed by the Law on Police Officers in Sarajevo Canton.

Police also said that the journalist and activist “publicly belittled” the officer.
