After a long court session, held without the presence of the media, Judge Suela Xhani released 8 of the 13 arrested, with 7 of them being ordered to "compulsory appearance" and banned from leaving the country, while another was only ordered to "compulsory appearance".
Another detainee was placed under "house arrest", while 4 others, namely citizens Arben Xhihani, Kujtim Veizi, Serxho Abazi and Renaldo Gjondeda, were given the restrictive measure of "prison arrest".
