Swedish Ambassador to Tirana Elsa Hastad has expressed her support to journalists and media reporters, and the concern for the detentions of journalists Xhoi Malësia and Qamil Xhani.

“Sweden stands up for every journalist’s right to do their job free from violence and harrasment, every day of the year! We are worried to learn that Xhoi Malësia and Qamil Xhani were stopped from reporting while covering the protest”, she tweeted.

Police arrested the editor-in-chief of Koha Jonë Qamil Xhani near the editing house while he was photographing the arrest of several youths, and the Ora News journalist Xhoi Malësia.

After these incidents, President Ilir Meta required from the Prosecution Office to investigate the violence against the journalists.
