Tensions and clashes were recorded in front of the Prime Minister's Office building during today's protest, where police intervened to disperse citizens using pepper spray. The situation escalated, and two activists, Edison Lika and Dritan Goxhaj, were forcibly escorted away.
According to preliminary information, the officers fined two activists for holding the rally, but they objected, presenting their protest permit to the Prime Minister's Office. After refusing to accept the fine, a large number of officers intervened and escorted them to the police van, located near the building.
This action has brought the reaction of the protesters, who have surrounded the van to prevent the police from leaving with the two activists. The situation has become more tense, where the protesters have physically clashed with the officers in the middle of the boulevard. During the clashes, the police have used pepper spray towards the crowd, in an attempt to disperse them. As a result, dozens of protesters have been injured
