Principles
- Through transparency and common work of the society we can decrease violence against the
population from state institutions.
- Accountability to community also means that every policeman is responsible for their actions and
should be hold accountable in case those actions are considered inacceptable in our
neighborhoods.
- Only independent groups can perform work of controlling the police, as we have seen through
years that state institutions are too interconnected to actually start conflict with each other.
- We are not planning to stop on those rights. We see ourselves as part of the struggle against
growth of the repression apparatus and militarization of police forces.
- We do not cooperate with executive powers.
- We want to make police violence public and denormalize violent behavior of the police.
