Jani Rustemaj, 27, was arrested at 15.00 on 13 April 2023 close to the “Delijorgji” residential block in Tirana by police officers from Police unit no. 2. He was later pronounced dead in police custody after going into a coma at the "Mother Teresa" University Hospital Center in Tirana due to an alleged methadone overdose. Jani’s death has raised concerns about allegations of police misconduct and violence towards him in the hours preceding his death. The hospital initially attributed Jani's coma to a methadone overdose. However, his family denied these allegations by stating that their son was not a drug addict and had no health issues when the police took him into custody. The family accuse the police of exercising violence and have provided evidence of contusions, broken front teeth, and a broken leg as indications of police brutality, which they noticed and photographed during their visits to the hospital.

Around 250 Romani families (1,200 people) live in the community which has existed since the late 1990’s and has long suffered from a lack of clean water. A project led by a local Roma organisation in 2005 saw water supply delivered to the area, only to be cut off by the municipality some time later. Residents of “Kastriot” have since had to rely on drilling private wells to access ground water. However, river water polluted by urban waste mixes with the well water and in 2014 resulted in an outbreak of Hepatitis A, especially amongst children. Though this made the news and authorities were aware of the health epidemic, no action was taken by state authorities.
