A tense situation is being reported during the protest taking place near the Ministry of Education, where a young man showed a wound on his body, saying that protesters are being hit with rubber bullets by the State Police.
“They are shooting us with rubber bullets,” the young man said, as he showed the wound he sustained during the gathering, and this is happening for the first time in these days of unrest taking place in Tirana.
The incident comes at a moment of tension between protesters and law enforcement forces on the fifth day of the student protest. The exact circumstances of the injury, as well as the claim about the use of rubber bullets, remain to be verified independently.
