# Students in blockade

A student movement that organised the blockades and silent vigils at which drivers struck protesters with their cars. It called the announced pardon of a driver a brutal trampling of the rule of law. The authorities called them terrorists and participants in a colour revolution, which UN experts described as a coordinated smear campaign. The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office suspects participants in one of their meetings of preparing a simulation of the use of a sound cannon, which the students reject. In April 2025, they blockaded the public broadcaster RTS until a new call for applications to the REM Council was issued.
