Clashes have resumed outside the Prime Minister’s Office in Tirana on the 13th day of the student protests against Edi Rama’s government. State Police officers have again begun detaining protesters.

The intervention by officers from the FNSH police unit prompted a reaction from people at the scene, who tried to stop police from taking the protesters away.

During the clashes, police used pepper spray extensively to push back those opposing the officers’ intervention.
