Scuffles erupt on third day of Albania protests

New street clashes between demonstrators and police erupted in Albania's capital on Friday.
That was the third day of violent protests after a man was shot dead by police who were enforcing a coronavirus curfew.

The protests, which have triggered political tension between the Socialist government and main opposition party, follow the death of Klodian Rasha in Tirana during curfew hours early Tuesday.

Police say he ignored officers’ calls to stop, and ran away. Earlier on Friday, a Tirana court decided that police officer Nevaldo Hajdaraj would stay under arrest while he is investigated for homicide in excess of necessary self-defense.

Prime Minister has apologized for the inexplicable and completely unreasonable shooting, and his interior minister resigned on Thursday. But that failed to dampen the protests.
