Concerns Rise Over Treatment of Marija Vasic in Serbian Psychiatric Ward Novi Sad, Serbia – A lawyer has raised serious concerns about the treatment and placement of his client, Marija Vasic, within a Serbian psychiatric ward. Aleksandar Petrovic, Vasic's lawyer, claims she is being held inappropriately and is facing subpar conditions. Petrovic's interview details Vasic's current health struggles, including a blood clot resulting from an improperly administered IV. "She has a blood clot in her vein because the IV was left in for too long," stated Petrovic. He further revealed that Vasic is on a hunger strike. Petrovic also criticized the management of the special prison hospital, questioning their ability to ensure Vasic's safety. He stated that, "It's clear that Marija Vasic does not belong in this psychiatric institution." The case raises questions about the standards of care in Serbian prison healthcare and the potential for human rights violations.
