A protest against violence will be held today in Belgrade at 17:00 CET, starting in front of the Philosophy Faculty. Throughout the night Belgraders continued to come and light candles in Republic Square in memory of Brice Taton, the Toulouse football fan who died of injuries sustained after being attacked by a gang of hooligans. Citizens to protest against violence The protest organizers, the Youth Coalition Against Violence, made up of the youth members of a number of the leading political parties and NGOs, expect political and state officials who want to see an end to violence and extremism in the country to join members of the public in the walk. The walk will begin in front of the Philosophy Faculty at 17:00 CET and will end at Kalemegdan, in front of the memorial of thanks to France. The meeting will not contain any political speeches, Nenad Milic from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) told B92. "There'll be a number of NGOs, but its a non-party rally, really. The aim is to show Serbia and the world that what's happening is not the true face of Serbia," he said. A day after Taton passed away, several thousand people in various parts of Serbia continued to pay their respects to the 27-year-old. In Belgrade, members of the public lit candles and left flowers well into the night in Republic Square, in front of the French embassy and in Obilicev Venac where Taton was attacked. A number of state officials and public figures also paid their tributes. 11 people have thus far been arrested over the murder, one of whom is 27 years old, and the other ten between the ages of 18 and 22.
