Albania fines protesters up to $6,000 if rallies turn violent

Albania's government has approved fines of up to 500,000 leks (about $6,130) for anyone who stays in a crowd committing violence or looting, or who conceals their identity, even if they are not personally violent. Tirana has seen months of protests, first against a luxury hotel project backed by Jared Kushner, then student-led rallies against corruption demanding PM Edi Rama's resignation.
