US Department: Albanian Government violates Human Rights
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2005. Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
March 8, 2006
Albania is a parliamentary democracy with a population of approximately 3.2 million. Legislative authority is vested in the unicameral People's Assembly (parliament), which elects both the prime minister and the president. The prime minister heads the government, while the presidency is a largely ceremonial position with limited executive power. Parliamentary elections held in July did not fully comply with international standards and were marked by protracted tabulation of results, but were generally considered a step forward in the country's democratic development. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces.
The government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were serious problems in several areas. The following human rights problems were reported:
police beating and abuse of suspects, detainees, and prisoners
poor prison conditions
arbitrary arrest and detention
lengthy pretrial detention
police corruption and impunity
infringement on citizens' privacy rights
politicization of the media
occasional police use of force against protestors
societal killings and an atmosphere of fear in some areas due to traditional blood feuds
societal violence and discrimination against women and children
trafficking in persons
societal discrimination against Roma,
Egyptians, and homosexuals
child labor
