Violence against the elderly in Peja, a shocking case! What we know so far

A video has circulated in the media and social networks today, where an elderly woman is raped by two nurses in the nursing home in Peja.

Tiranapost will not post videos with violent content. But the shocking case will be handled professionally.

The authorities in Kosovo have reacted: the Kosovo Police, the Police Station in Pejë, based on the video that has circulated on social media, where a worker in a home for the elderly in Pejë is seen, who is exercising violence against a elderly.

The police immediately went into action and at around 14:10, identified the location and arrested two (2) suspects related to the case. The suspects are being interviewed by the investigators of the Police Station in Peja and further actions will be taken in full coordination with the state prosecutor.

The two nurses were arrested and are in prison.

The Minister of the Interior of Kosovo, Xhelal Sveçla, reacted to this case: We have seen with concern all the footage of the mistreatment of an elderly woman by a group of girls in a care home for the elderly in Peja. I have been informed by the Kosovo Police that so far two of the violators have been arrested and the investigations are continuing. I strongly call for bringing to justice all persons implicated in this inhumane act.
