Vienna, 21 March 2018
According to information before the South East Europe Media Organisation (SEEMO) Italian photojournalist, Mauro Donato, who covered the refugee crisis on the ‘Balkan route’, has been arrested in Serbia by the police for allegedly attacking and robbing three migrants.
SEEMO is worried about the arresting of Donato and is asking the Serbian police and courts to work more professional, as it is clear, that Donato was reporting about the refugees and not a criminal. Three alleged victims of the robbery denied that Donato attacked them.
