B92 cameraman attacker gets stiffer penalty
Belgrade, February, 10, 2012. (B92) - The Court of Appeals has overturned a penalty for Milan Savatović, who was sentenced for participation in a group that attacked B92 cameraman Boško Branković.
The Court of Appeals in Belgrade upheld the First Municipal Prosecution's appeal and sentenced Savatović to a year in prison. He was originally sentenced to ten months of house arrest.
It was determined that Savatović kicked the B92 cameraman in the right shoulder. The Court of Appeals confirmed sentences to his accomplices Stefan Milićević and Nikola Lazić who were sentenced to six and four months in prison.
Branković was attacked and seriously injured on July 24, 2008 in Belgrade while covering a protest organized in the wake of Hague indictee Radovan Karadžić's arrest. The cameraman suffered a broken knee in the assault.
