Albania: Lawyers to protest at the Supreme Judicial Council in Tirana from 11:00 July 14

Event

Lawyers in Albania plan to stage a protest in Tirana against a proposed judicial reform, July 14. Participants will gather outside the Supreme Judicial Council from 11:00; attendance will likely be in the hundreds.

Additional police will likely deploy to monitor and facilitate the action. The protest itself and related security measures, including possible road closures and movement restrictions, could prompt localized transport disruptions in the surrounding area. The action is likely to pass off peacefully, though isolated clashes cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security services and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Check for disruptions and allow extra time for travel in the affected area.
