The case of the 34-year-old woman arrested at Rinas and sent to prison together with her 7-month-old baby has prompted an institutional reaction after information about it was published in the media. According to the version made public by sources close to the case, President of the Republic Bajram Begaj contacted the responsible institutions to seek clarification on the procedures and the possibility of her release.
Presidency reaction after the case was published
According to the reported information, President Begaj sought information from law enforcement authorities immediately after learning of the case involving the 34-year-old woman.
Sources are cited as saying that the head of state requested that the case be reviewed and that it be verified whether there is a legal basis for the mother of three minor children to be released.
Possibility of amnesty also in focus
According to the same sources, information was also requested on whether the 34-year-old qualifies for amnesty.
If such a possibility is not covered by the existing schemes, according to the report, the President has asked the Justice Ministry for an official proposal for personal amnesty, bearing in mind that she is the mother of three minor children, while one of them is reported to be ill.
What is known about the arrest at Rinas
According to the source material, the 34-year-old woman was arrested as soon as she arrived at Rinas.
It further states that she was sent to prison together with her 7-month-old baby after being reported by her father-in-law for domestic violence.
Official clarification on procedures is expected
At this stage, the public information is based on reported sources and not on a full institutional explanation of the procedural reasoning behind the measure and the handling of the baby’s case.
The case raises questions about how institutions have acted in practice in a case involving a mother of three minor children, while it remains to be seen whether there will be a decision on her release or treatment through amnesty.
For the moment, there is no detailed public announcement on the further steps to be taken by the Justice Ministry or other relevant bodies.
