Following Gjesti's arrest, many artists have reacted on their social media profiles. Many of them have expressed support for the famous singer, calling for his release and forgiveness.
One of them is his colleague, Yll Limani, with whom he also shares a music label.
In a long post on social media, Limani said that Gjesti has been subjected to many injustices in recent months.
Yll Limani's full post:
"Gesti has been subjected to many injustices in recent months. Art is not measured by obstacles, pressure, or injustice."
Art is something you can't stop. When an artist faces injustice, it's not just his or her struggle: it's something that affects all of us who believe in the freedom of creation.
We know Gesti for his talent, his spirit, and his dedication to art.
Things that no artist should have to go through just because they create and express themselves through art.
These are things that no one can take away.
"True art always finds a way."
This reaction comes as a strong public support, highlighting the solidarity within the artistic community towards artists facing difficult situations.
