SERBIAN officials denied that its security forces had used a military-grade sonic weapon to disperse and scare protesters at a huge anti-government rally in the capital on Saturday.
Opposition officials and Serbian rights groups claimed the widely banned acoustic weapon that emits a targeted beam to temporarily incapacitate people was used during the protest.
They say they will file charges with the European Court of Human Rights and domestic courts against those who ordered the attack.
