The Court of Appeal has changed the security measure for student Klevin Metaj, replacing house arrest with a requirement to report to the relevant authorities once a month. The previous measure had been imposed by the Court of First Instance.
Metaj, the son of News24 journalist Brikena Metaj, was arrested in the first days of the student protests in Tirana against Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The lawyer also announced that a criminal complaint has been filed against State Police officers over their treatment of the student, which he described as degrading and inhumane. The case against the officers will proceed through this complaint.
