| Protesters in Scandebeg Square protesting against sexual abuse of minors |
A protest against the sexual abuse of children was held in Tirana today. The organizers of the protest have been triggered by the case of abuse of a 15-year-old girl in Mirdita by five men.
Protesters gathered in Skënderbej Square and have unfolded numerous slogans, such as: "Failed state, raped children", "Exploited bodies, executed bodies, raped bodies. Are we in Auschwitz?” "Do not kill my childhood, educate my son"; "We are with you"; "You are not alone", etc.
