21 January protest and the struggle for accountability

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 21 Januari 2011 📍 Albanië

An opposition-organized demonstration against alleged corruption and vote-rigging ended in violent clashes. The Council of Europe records that four demonstrators were shot dead by security officers guarding the Prime Minister’s Office, with many others injured. Remembering this event requires holding both the protest’s party leadership and the state’s lethal force in view; subsequent demands for an impartial investigation made accountability part of the movement’s legacy.
