Some well-known public figures have joined the organised protest in Pristina on Wednesday, where justice is being sought for Arlinda Zekian and institutional responsibility for failing to protect her.

In the footage circulated by protests in Zajr Pajazitı Square, there is singer Nora Istrefi, hairmaker Kaci Loshi and actress Arjola Demiri, who have come out to express solidarity in a case that has sparked numerous reactions in society.

Norra Istreff had also announced in advance through social networks that it would be part of the protest, seeking justice for Arlinda and protection for every woman. She had stressed that women deserve to live safely, without fear and return to their homes without taking risks.

The protest was organised following the assassination of Arlinda Zekiaj in Pec, who, according to reports, was killed with ax by her brother-in-law.

Protesters are seeking accountability from state institutions, as, according to organisers, the victim had repeatedly sought protection, but had failed to get it.

From the square, Zahir Pajazitiı, protesters are expected to march towards the country’s institutions, including the Ministry of Justice, the Kosovo Prosecutorial Council, the Kosovo Judiciary Council, the Kosovo Police and Government.

Through this protest, it is required that Arlinda Zekiaj’s murder be not left without responsibility and that institutions take concrete measures to prevent violence against women and ensure their safety. /Telegraphy/
