Albanian opposition members set off smoke grenades and flares during a government meeting in Tirana, protesting the government's handling of violent demonstrations that have been ongoing for over 130 days. Lawmakers threw water bottles and documents, held up pictures of injured protesters, and called for Prime Minister Edi Rama to resign. The protests, which have drawn students and young people, have resulted in around 350 injuries and arrests. In response, the government approved a law imposing heavy fines of up to 500,000 lek (about $5,000) on violent protesters.
