The city of Belgrade is known to many as the cradle of tennis in Serbiaand it is from there that athletes of the stature of Dusan Lajovic, Viktor Troicki and, of course, Novak Djokovic. The concrete thing is that the sports news at the moment has to do with an unfortunate episode that happened at the Crvena Zvezda club and which involved a minor under the age of 14 as a victim.
The images were disseminated through the social networks of the activist against child abuse Igor Juric and in them you can see how a coach beats his daughter on brick dust in front of the watchful eye of some witnesses who only managed to record the situation.
In the video, you can distinguish the 14-year-old tennis player who receives a brutal beating from her father.
The activist shared the video on his Twitter and wrote the following: “I can say I am a little shocked, this is one of the many terrible things we have seen. It is important to see how the institutions will react, because he is a foreign citizen. Hours later, it was learned that the protagonist of the video was a man of Chinese descent.
And in the footage, we see this coach scolding the minor during a break in her training, but the screams quickly turn into blows. First, the man slapped her daughter, who could not hold back her tears. Then the coach threw her to the ground and continued to attack her with numerous kicks.
Subsequently, from the Serbian media Republika, they gathered the testimony of many of the witnesses present and Juric detailed: “The coaches who worked with her say that she is an exceptional girl, and the reason for this violent behavior would have been that one of the coaches, who was working with her at the time, said she wasn’t putting in enough effort and that she did not want to do what was asked of her.
The Serbian activist, who is at the forefront of the complaint filed with the Serbian prosecutor, concluded: “Presumably this was the reason for this raw and brutal violence that took place. These are Chinese citizens, but I cannot tell you how many others live in. Serbia … I know they have visited other tennis clubs. What I do know is that the violent father does not speak Serbian. “
And it was from this complaint that the prosecutors issued a search and arrest warrant against the attacker, who would have been arrested only a few hours later. Currently, Serbian justice has not issued any statement on the matter, but it is expected that the man will continue to be detained.
