Albanian court frees protesters detained over Kushner-linked resort demonstrations

Monday, 6 July 2026, 06:24 · 1 min read

A court in Tirana, Albania, has released 19 protesters who were detained during violent demonstrations against a luxury coastal resort linked to Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump. Two of those freed were placed under house arrest, 12 must report periodically to judicial police, and five face no charges — a decision greeted by cheers from dozens of supporters gathered outside the court. The case reflects growing unrest in Albania, where nightly protests that began in May over the resort project have broadened into a wider anti-government movement, with demonstrators demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama and chanting slogans against corruption.
