Albania: Activists to demonstrate in Tirana April 11
Activists to protest at Tirana City Hall in Tirana, Albania, from 11:00 April 11. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest at Tirana City Hall from 11:00 April 11. The purpose of the demonstration is to call upon the mayor of Tirana to resign following a series of arrests targeting city officials accused of corruption. The demonstration follows a related protest on April 5 that appeared to draw several hundred participants.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement offices cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near Tirana City Hall through at least the late afternoon on April 11. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
