Albanian students clash with police for seventh consecutive day

Student protesters in Tirana, Albania clashed with riot police on Monday for the seventh day in a row. The students are demanding that Prime Minister Edi Rama resign. They also want better conditions at universities and an end to government corruption. During the violence, protesters threw rocks at police, who responded with tear gas. Some demonstrators attacked a police station and other government buildings. Before Monday's clashes, officials reported 295 people had been injured, including 186 police officers. Prime Minister Rama has rejected the protesters' demands. He claimed that outside forces from Europe and the United States had influenced the students. High school and university students have led the demonstrations throughout the week.
