Macedonia: Ethnic Tensions in Court and Streets

In 2013, Macedonia saw ethnic tensions simmer amid a mass murder trial, street riots and a hero’s homecoming for a convicted war criminal freed by the Hague Tribunal.

January saw the start of a high-profile murder trial in which six men are facing charges of terrorism, suspected of having committed the gruesome murders of five people near Skopje in April 2012.

The prosecution in the ongoing case, locally known as ‘Monster’, charges six ethnic Albanians of murdering five ethnic Macedonians near Skopje in an attempt to provoke ethnic tensions in the country.

Ethnically-charged riots

In March, the Macedonian capital Skopje was gripped by ethnically-charged riots over the controversial appointment of an ethnic Albanian ex-guerrilla commander, Talat Xhaferi, as defence minister.

Revealed: the real story of Mahsa Amini’s death
Six months on from the tragedy that shook Iran, witnesses describe how a female officer beat the 22-year-old and police then refused to call an ambulance for 45 minutes after she collapsed.

As the morality police van barrelled down the streets of rush-hour Tehran, Mahsa Amini pleaded with the two female officers to let her go.

The 22-year-old had been arrested minutes earlier, as she walked out of Shahid Haghani metro station with her teenage brother and two cousins. Although Amini was dressed in a long coat, with a black scarf covering her hair, officers detained her for wearing “inappropriate” clothing.

eyewitnesses, including women who were detained with Amini, reported that she was severely beaten and that she died as a result of police brutality, which was denied by the Iranian authorities. The assertions of police brutality, in addition to leaked medical scans, led some observers to believe Amini had a cerebral hemorrhage or stroke due to head injuries received after her arrest.

George Floyd's Murder

George Perry Floyd Jr. (October 14, 1973 – May 25, 2020) was an African-American man who was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest made after a store clerk suspected Floyd may have used a counterfeit twenty-dollar bill, on May 25, 2020. Derek Chauvin, one of the four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd's neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds which caused a lack of oxygen. After his murder, protests against police brutality, especially towards black people, quickly spread across the United States and globally. His dying words, "I can't breathe", became a rallying slogan.
