Ahmetaj Criticized Balluku

The Tirana Court has released Shkëlzen Sadikaj, a resident of the New Ring Road who was recently arrested during the demolition of 33 illegal constructions in the Astir area.

Even though he was detained following "a resistance by residents to police" who, at 6am on Tuesday, besieged two sides of the road, the Court decided to release Sadikaj after reviewing his file.

His detention is also being considered illegal by some. Meanwhile, 26 residents have been released from jail and are being investigated for their altercations with police. The action ended within 12 hours and is expected to continue into a second phase.

Moreover, the Tirana Prosecution ended their investigation on Klevis Balliu, and acquitted the former Democratic Party MP on charges of assault.

After his acquittal, Balliu appeared to support Astiri residents in the Tirana court and accused the “Prime Minister and police” of violence against citizens.

As a result of clashes, 13 people remain injured, 5 of which were police officers, and the rest being residents.
