Today, in the lobby of the Palace of Congresses in Tirana, tributes are being held in honor of Judge Astrit Kalaja, who lost his life two days ago after a gun attack inside the premises of the Court of Appeal, while he was on duty.
The tragic event has shocked public opinion and the justice system in the country, reopening debates on security measures in state institutions. The murder of a judge inside a courtroom is considered an unprecedented and alarming event for the constitutional order and the rule of law.
The tribute ceremony will take place from 09:00 to 11:00, with the participation of the highest representatives of justice institutions, state authorities, colleagues, family members and friends of Judge Kalaja, who will bid him farewell today.
