The UN Human Rights Committee has told Albania to suspend eviction of four Roma families from their homes in Elbasan, to make space for the reconstruction of a football stadium.
The UN committee called on the government to suspend the eviction of the families until a complaint filed by their lawyers on the merits of the decision to demolish the houses and subsequent compensation claims are heard.
In a letter to the lawyers representing the families on July 4, the committee said the government had been informed of “interim measure of protection” applied to the applicants.
