VJT seeks information: students suspected of planning a sound-cannon simulation on March 15
N1 reports the VJT statement: during a pre-investigation into the death of student M. Ž. and a pyrotechnics-related fire, prosecutors found documents of a student working group and asked police to identify participants in a January 22, 2025 meeting. The statement refers to checking a possible plan to simulate a "sound cannon" at the March 15 protest; this is a credibility check, not a court finding.
Kurir: VJT says the sound-cannon "lie" was planned a month before March 15
Kurir presents the VJT statement as breaking news and says the "sound cannon lie" was allegedly planned a month before March 15. The article relays prosecutors' claims that a KRBG meeting on January 22, 2025 discussed a "sound cannon," a "strong response from Brussels," and the Chinese practice of moving off the road when such a device appears; VJT claims participants and unidentified persons then allegedly took steps to simulate use of the device and create panic. The outlet frames a procedural check as confirmation of the political version that the affair was staged.
