Sixth protest walk on February 8: Memić family seeks truth about Dženan's murder

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - The family of the murdered young man Dženan Memić will organize the sixth protest walk on February 8, 2018, on the second anniversary of the incident in Velika aleja that led to the young man's death.

The protest walk will start at 12:00 from SCC, along the streets Hiseta, Obala Kulina bana, Radićeva and Maršala Tita. Participants of the protest walk will stay from 12:30 to 13:30 in Radićeva street, in front of the building of the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office.

In the request sent to the Ministry of Transport of the Canton, the father of the murdered young man, Muriz Memić, stated that he is forced to organize the protest walk again due to dissatisfaction with the work of the judicial and police structures of the Sarajevo Canton in the case of his son's murder.

Dženan Memić was in the company of a girl, Alisa Mutap, on the night of February 8, 2016, and under still unexplained circumstances, he sustained injuries from which he died on February 15 at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo. Although Mutap is the only witness from that night, she appeared only once at the trial of Ljubo and Bekrija Seferović, who are being tried for the serious criminal offense against the safety of public traffic and for the criminal offense of failing to provide assistance to a person injured in a traffic accident and the criminal offense of preventing the proving of causing a traffic accident.

Numerous experts who testified gave conflicting statements about the manner in which the young man sustained his injuries. It was established that Memić had a head injury that could have been caused by a blunt object, and not by the impact of a T4 van as claimed by the Cantonal Prosecutor's Office.

Conflicting statements from police officers who first arrived at the scene also create confusion about the exact sequence of events, as well as about Dženan's position, who moved him and why, and when the photograph that was published during the trial was taken.
