Because of police violence and the tear gas and water mixed with chemicals used indiscriminately by the police, many protesting students have ended up in hospital.
As can be seen in the footage, the students were picked up by the emergency service, which accompanied the young people to receive more specialised treatment for the injuries they suffered.
Meanwhile, the student protest has escalated in front of the Ministry of Education and along Rruga e Durrësit, where young people have begun destroying the security cameras installed along the street, as well as burning advertisements and even pulling out traffic lights.
As seen in footage provided by Syri journalists on the ground, who are closely following the student protest, the students can be seen trying to remove the cameras and traffic lights, also as a sign of protest against the violent actions of the police.
Meanwhile, because of the student protest, businesses along Rruga e Durrësit have pulled down their shutters and did not open this Wednesday, as the student action continues along with police reprisals using tear gas and water with chemicals harmful to people.
