After the storm of reactions regarding the escorting of a minor to the police station following the opposition protest, the Tirana police declare that the Standards Directorate, which is conducting verifications, has been notified regarding the actions of the police officers.
"At the rally held today, a minor was observed throwing stones and hard objects at the Police services. For this reason, the minor was taken for verification, from which it turned out that he was 14 years old. We emphasize that the minor citizen was not held in shared facilities with detained or escorted adults at any time, but remained in an appropriate environment and was treated with care, in accordance with the principles and legal guarantees for minors. He was released immediately after the arrival of the legal representative," the police announced.
Further, the Tirana Police declares that "regarding the actions of the Police employees during the handling of this case, the Directorate of Professional Standards at the General Directorate of the State Police, as well as the Police Supervision Agency, were immediately notified for a full verification of the case."
