The Tirana Prosecutor’s Office has launched an ex officio investigation into the wounding of protester Erjon Vishkulli last Saturday on the boulevard near the Prime Minister’s Office.
Vishkulli, 28, was wounded in the eye by a rubber bullet fired by police forces during the student protest, which saw intense clashes with the police, where once again officers exceeded the limits in their use of force and also committed acts of violence.

According to the Tirana Prosecutor’s Office, disproportionate force was used by the police during the protests. Regarding the case of the 28-year-old’s injury, footage from the security cameras of the Bank of Albania has been obtained and is being reviewed.
One of the incidents involved an injury that now threatens one of the eyes of the young man from Elbasan, who was sent to Italy for specialized treatment after spending several hours at the Trauma Hospital.
