As protesters approached the security perimeter, police launched a large-scale operation to disperse them. Police vehicles fired large volumes of high-pressure water at the crowd, while thick clouds of tear gas engulfed the entire “Dëshmorët e Kombit” boulevard.
Video and still cameras captured police officers on the rooftop of the Prime Minister’s Office throwing tear gas canisters down at protesters in the square.
Despite the extensive use of tear gas and water cannons, the situation outside the government building remains chaotic, and protesters are refusing to leave.
