His reasoning was that the young man was sitting on the stairs of a building of paramount importance.<\/p>\n<p>According to the officer\u2019s report, Shehu had been sitting at the entrance of the ministry building and was also carrying a backpack that night. Soon after the incident, Euronews Albania got a hold of the court order that was issued against Shehu, which states that after facing the citizen\u2019s refusal to leave, the officer had informed his superior, at which point the young man was escorted to the police station and according to other officers\u2019 claims, upon his arrival, Shehu had begun to insult and threaten them, while also taking their photo.<\/p>\n<p>The Prosecution charged the young man with \u2018misdemeanor and refusal to follow the orders of a public order officer\u2019. The case was tried as a summary offense and Shehu was initially sentenced to 20 days in jail, which were later converted to 60 hours of community service.<\/p>\n<p>The court judge declared that the officer\u2019s demand to have the young man stand up and leave the premises of a government building was legitimate and that this sentencing won\u2019t only serve to educate the offender but it will also raise awareness amongst the general public in regards to cases of a similar nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/26\/protests-against-mandatory-vaccination-10-arrested-in-tirana\/\">Protests against mandatory vaccination, 10 arrested in Tirana<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/21\/mia-a-ministry-of-propaganda-meant-to-snoop-on-citizens-warns-birn-journalist\/\">MIA, a ministry of propaganda meant to snoop on citizens, warns BIRN journalist<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/10\/08\/spak-issues-international-arrest-warrant-for-adriatik-llalla\/\">SPAK issues international arrest warrant for Adriatik Llalla<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 4, 29-year-old Marsel Shehu, was out walking his dog and the thought of being arrested that night couldn\u2019t have possibly crossed his mind.
