Hundreds of people protested in Tirana today against sexual assault, following last week’s report by a minor girl who told the police she was raped on multiple occasions by a group of 5 people during the last 4 months in Rreshen, 80km north of the capital.
Members of the public and activists gathered in the city’s main square, calling against sexual assault, and for authorities to increase protection for children and women.
It follows another protest held in Rreshen on Friday in relation to the same case.
Police arrested 5 people last week in Rreshen – Artan Kaçorri (31), Albert Molla (27), Ermal Tarazhi (30), Nike Lleshi (44) and A.GJ (17) – who are suspected of the rape. The court decided for them to await trial in prison.
