Albania recalls January 21st protests in Tirana

It all started around 2: 00 p.m. when protesters walked across the street from “Square. Skenderbej” until before the prime minister's facility, as police had taken steps not to allow any bus to proceed further.

It all left after the scandal with the video Meta é Prifti, where it spoke of concession, and this prompted a protest against this corruption, as the Socialist Party then called it.

The crowd began with calls against then Prime Minister Sali Berisha, while only minutes later, the throwing of stones and hardties began towards the rule forces.

The situation was tense after protesters tried to enter the prime minister's court, while police defended the domestic environment.

For a moment, gunfire began to be heard within the prime minister's territory, and these shots left Iron Deda dead, Ziv Veizni, Faik Myrtaj and Alex Nikajn dead.

He, after preliminary treatment at Tirana Military Hospital, has been sent for further treatment in Turkey, where he died after several days.

Prime Minister Berisha appeared at the press conference, claiming they wanted to make a mockery, while the opposition indicated that the state, through segments of the Republic and State Police, has killed four innocent Albanian citizens and killed a peaceful demonstration, which is the constitutional right of the citizen.

The Socialist Party accused the prime minister and interior minister of ordering the killings. But Berisha did not stop on charges against the SP alone, he lashed out at the Prosecution, SUS and President of the Republic who, according to him, wanted to bring him down violently.

After the marathon hearings, the two suspected men -- the former commander of the Republican Guard, Ndea Prendi and special unit responsible for Agim Llupo -- were acquitted.
