Part of situation: Montenegrin prison detainees hunger strike (2 clusters)

Spuž Prison detainees announce hunger strike and trial boycott

Spuž Investigation Prison hunger strike Sky communications ANOM Montenegrin judiciary

Detainees at the Spuž Investigation Prison in Montenegro have announced they will begin a hunger strike and boycott court proceedings starting September 1. The group, represented by lawyer Nikola Tomković, claims the action is a response to the denial of fundamental human rights, including the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence.

Key demands include the consistent use of alternative detention measures to prevent pretrial detention from functioning as a de facto prison sentence. Additionally, the detainees are calling for the appointment of independent digital telecommunications experts to handle evidence related to Sky and ANOM communication platforms, citing European Court of Justice standards.

The detainees also demand access to original, complete digital evidence and judicial documents currently held by authorities in France, the Netherlands, and the United States. Furthermore, they seek official confirmation regarding whether French authorities formally notified Montenegro of secret surveillance measures conducted on Montenegrin citizens, as required by French and EU law.
