Dveri Movement leader Bosko Obradovic, who has been on a hunger strike on the stairs in front of the Serbian National Assembly building in Belgrade for four days, sent on May 14 a request to the Ministry of the Interior to be allowed to receive visits from close family members and political associates.
In his letter, Obradovic wrote that as an MP and the leader of the Dveri parliamentary party, he has been on a hunger strike since May 10, and that the strike is a personal act of rebellion and a “legitimate means of political struggle.”
He pointed out that his closest political associates are forbidden from visiting him, adding that the police did not allow his own brother to see him on May 13.
"Based on which act did the Ministry of the Interior on May 13 assume authority over who visits and stays inside the Parliament building, which is in the National Assembly’s General Secretariat’s jurisdiction", Obradovic asked.
Dveri leader added that even convicts are allowed visitors according to the Law on the Execution of Criminal Sanctions. “As an MP and an individual on a hunger strike, with all the spiritual and physical consequences of this act, I am denied this [visits]. I demand from competent bodies of the Serbian Ministry of the Interior to be allowed to meet with the closest family members and political associates and officials of the Dveri movement,” Obradovic wrote in his request.
