"When dozens of angry demonstrators ransacked the presidential office in the Macedonian capital in early April, the windows were shattered and furniture set ablaze.

Zdravko Saveski, a 39-year-old member of the leftist Levica party's presidential committee, insisted that he did not participate in damaging the building or the furniture.

Yet he was charged with participation in a mob and destroying state property and placed under house arrest for more than 50 days during the police investigation.

(...)

A former political science professor and trade unionist-turned-organiser, Saveski is among at least 34 demonstrators who have been dealt charges since mass anti-corruption protests broke out in early April, according to local activists."
