[world politics news]


Kosovo’s authorities have arrested the main opposition leader,Albin Kurti, the founder and most charismatic figure of the largest opposition party, and another nine of the opposition’s 31 MPs. Five of them, including Kurti, are now in pre-trial detention, for an initial one-month term, and the other five are under house arrest. The arrests are illegal, because under Kosovo’s constitution, MPs cannot be arrested without parliament’s consent.
