At least 59 people have been arrested by the police while 116 others have been put under investigation after being accused of organizing yesterday’s protest in Tirana after the murder of Klodian Rasha by the police.
The official announcement distributed by the state police states that the participants gathered in front of the Ministry of Interior and then divided into several groups, using violence against some institutions for three hours in a row.
The clashes, police say, injured 5 police officers who suffered severe physical damage. The State Police appeals to parents not to allow minors to participate in rallies, as participation only endangers their physical integrity and complicates the work of the Police in managing the rally.
Police expresses regret for the act committed by the effective Nevaldo Hajdaraj, while adding that the work of the police can not be equated with an individual who has been put in the hands of justice.
“The State Police feels deeply sorry for the intolerable act of its staff that opened fire causing the loss of life of a citizen. The effective is immediately put in the hands of justice and justice must be done to the end. But no one can equate the State Police with an individual who committed a legally punishable act and no one can prevent the State Police from performing its duty of protecting public order, communities and citizens.
The State Police calls on all those who want to protest to keep in mind that in this extraordinary time for human health gatherings of more than 10 people are prohibited by law and also any use of violence is punishable by law. . Also, the State Police brings to the attention of any instigator or perpetrator of violence against the police uniforms, that its staff have the duty to react proportionately and will not hesitate to do so in any case and for any reason “, the police announces”./abcnews.al
