After an attack on the Court of Appeal, protesters gathered for a few moments at Rinia Park, dispersing briefly. After law enforcement left them alone for a few moments, police advanced with water cannon trucks to disperse the protesters. As seen in footage from “Koha Jonë” journalist Daniel Muçaku, police fired a large amount of tear gas, catching the protesters by surprise.
Police have increased the number of vans and officers involved in crowd control, not allowing people to gather.
The protests began last week, first at the Ministry of Education, and then spread throughout the city, becoming more violent on Martyrs of the Nation Boulevard. Dozens of young people and others have been arrested during these days.
Protesters are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Rama, while the latter accused them on Monday of being inspired by ANTIFA and having no connection to students
