Protesters and activists gathered this Sunday morning in front of the Tirana Court, demanding the release of 21 citizens arrested during the protest held a few days ago in front of the Parliament.
The Tirana Court is expected to review the security measures for the arrested today. Citizens have gathered in front of the Tirana Court in solidarity with the arrested, while they await the court's decision on the security measures.
Since the arrests, supporters of the protesters have held several gatherings and have continuously demanded their release, initially protesting in front of Police Station No. 3, where they were detained.
Protesters also expressed their outrage over the arrest of 21 citizens in yesterday's national protest that took place in the capital. After almost 2 hours of speeches, citizens marched as usual through the streets of the capital, but the situation became tense at police station number 3 on "Mine Peza" street, where the arrested protesters are being held.
At around 11:45 PM, a group of citizens, some of whom were masked, attacked the police station with stones and sticks, breaking the windows.
The arrested protesters are charged with 7 criminal offenses, destruction of property, resisting a police officer, assault in the line of duty, disturbing public order and peace, organizing and participating in illegal gatherings and demonstrations, disobeying a lawful police order, and obstructing the movement of vehicles.
