Four former officials from North Macedonia’s conservative VMRO-DPMNE party have been released after their convictions for organizing a violent attack on parliament in 2017 were overturned. The court in the capital, Skopje, ruled that a 2018 amnesty law applied to the case.
In April 2017, approximately 200 protesters stormed parliament in protest over the election of an ethnic Albanian speaker and a proposed coalition government. The chaotic incident resulted in injuries to numerous individuals, including lawmakers and journalists.
