📅 27 January 2012 📍 Albania

After municipal officials ordered families to leave a riverside settlement without offering adequate alternative housing, 16 Roma families returned to the Artificial Lake area and rebuilt their shelters. Their return was an act of survival and a public claim to remain in the city; authorities had proposed tent accommodation that residents considered unsafe and unsuitable for children.
