An appeal grounded in the source record

The supplied ADCN brief distinguishes visible material, attributed reports and claims that remain unverified. Read it before sending your letter.

The PDF includes images of injuries and police restraint.

What are we asking for?

This appeal concerns the reported force and injuries at the student-led protest in Tirana on 13 October 2026. It asks representatives to seek protection and an independent, incident-specific investigation. The source record also acknowledges violence by some participants; individual acts do not settle what happened to everyone else present.

  • Medical care and legal access for injured and detained people.
  • Preservation of original footage, police orders, custody records and medical documentation.
  • An independent investigation into specific incidents and a public account of the findings.
After you send

Save your sent message. The package suggests following up if there is no acknowledgement after three working days: ask what action was taken and when you can expect a reply. Allow for any response timeframe given by the office.
