A Serbian opposition leader has been released from detention after suffering what he alleges was a terrifying ordeal in which Belgrade secret services “beat me, tortured, humiliated me and threatened to kill me and my family”.
Nikola Sandulović, the leader of the Serbian Republican party, said he was taken from his home 10 days ago and subjected to violent abuse for more than six hours by the intelligence service. As a result, his lawyers say, he remains paralysed on his left side and is suffering nerve damage.
