A strong message of support has come from the US for the protesters who have been filling the squares for 46 days. During today's rally, one of the protesters publicly read an official statement from the Albanian-American Civic League (AACCL), which stands with the popular resistance.

Before reading the document, the citizen issued a stern warning to the head of government: "Rama, get your pajamas ready, prison awaits you."

He then conveyed the full position of the historic Albanian-American organization:

“For more than 3 decades, the Albanian-American Civic League has remained steadfast in its mission to promote democracy, protect human rights, and advance Albanian interests. LQSHA stands with citizens who defend Albanian interests and against those who harm these interests. We have defended the rule of law, freedom of expression, and citizens’ rights through peaceful and democratic means. LQSHA is following the patriotic and peaceful demonstrations where citizens are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Rama and demanding transparency, freedom, and democratic rights.”
