Catalin Ranco Pitu, former head of Romania's Military Prosecutor's Office, linked the sonic weapon employed in the recent Belgrade protests to those used by Nicolae Ceausescu's regime during the 1989 Romanian Revolution. Pitu, who investigated the revolution, noted the use of low-frequency sounds by soldiers to manipulate emotions and maintain control during a pro-Ceausescu rally. He described the chaos induced by sound waves, having witnessed similar scenes in Belgrade, indicating a disturbing continuity in government tactics to suppress dissent.
Pitu noted that sound manipulation during protests has historical roots, highlighting that the Romanian regime used similar tactics to control crowds and suppress dissent in 1989.
The use of sonic weapons at the recent Belgrade protests mirrors tactics employed by Ceausescu's regime in 1989, showcasing the historical cycle of government suppression.
