Punishment of the genocide begins to take shape

In the end, 34 former high-ranking officials and commanders of the border units, involved in 36 killings on the Albanian border during 1989-92, are under indictment. Punishment of the genocide begins to take shape In the end, 34 former high-ranking officials and commanders of the border units, involved in 36 killings on the Albanian border during 1989-92, are under indictment. Yesterday, after hearing again from Interior Minister A. Musaraj and checking the completion of the documentation provided by this ministry, the parliamentary Committee on Defence and SHIK deemed it complete and approved sending these documents to the prosecutor’s office so that investigations and punitive measures against the 34 accused can begin. As has been made known, the list begins with Ramiz Alia and Hekuran Isai, who had a full two weeks to shed “light” on these crimes through interviews in the press, but could not escape indictment. H. Isai clarified that he had received the order from R. Alia. But the list also includes 32 other names, all of whom were directly in charge at the places where the killings took place. Most notably, many of those mentioned have enigmatic addresses. Yesterday, the parliamentary committee regularized the documents and forwarded them to the prosecutor’s office. Thus, the punishment of the genocide begins to take shape. The parliamentary committee is also expecting shortly the materials for the second list, which includes many names from the red nomenklatura who will face the same fate. A.D.

Emigrants are punished

Events in the prisons of Athens and Thessaloniki bring down the Greek night on Albanian emigrants. Over the tragedy in the prisons of Greece Emigrants are punished Events in the prisons of Athens and Thessaloniki bring down the Greek night on Albanian emigrants. Even before the events in Athens and Thessaloniki were over, the police sweep was launched against Albanian emigrants. Within 5 days, more than 12,000 emigrants were gathered in over 40 cities in Greece, and every day around 20 buses bring them to Kapshticë and Kakavijë. Only on 16 November 1995, a total of 1,005 emigrants were brought to our two border crossings, 370 to Kakavijë and another 635 to Kapshticë. This number of returns has continued to rise in the following days, and the Thessaloniki-Kapshticë route is the one that brings 500-700 emigrants every day. No explanation, only rubber batons, handcuffs, mistreatment and return to Albania. What remains most mysterious is this return of emigrants, when among them there are also returns of corpses, as on 17.11.1995, when the body of the citizen Vasil Kucuqi, 31, residing in Delvinë, also arrived in Kakavijë. No kind of document is taken into account. “You encouraged the Albanians in the prisons of Athens and Thessaloniki to revolt, so you must leave Greece.” As is known, there are today more than 2,000 Albanians in Greek prisons, 98 of whom are adolescents. Although in July 1995 a convention was signed between the two Ministries of Justice, of Greece and Albania, for their return, nothing has still changed or improved for this category of people. They have been left without lawyers, without going to court, even though these legal deadlines have long expired. Thus, instead of these problems being solved, the opposite happens, this time even with a “Sweep” type operation by the authorities, as since 1993. S. R.

Alia, Nano, Ruçi to be sued over the 2 April massacre

Former communist president R. Alia Former Prime Minister Nano Former Interior Minister Ruçi Alia, Nano, Ruçi to be sued over the 2 April massacre Former communist president Ramiz Alia, former prime minister Fatos Nano and former Interior Minister Gramoz Ruçi will be sued before the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic over the massacre of 2 April 1991. The chairman of the anti-communist association 2 Prilli, E. P[?]rjaku, told ATSH that the association is preparing the materials to file a complaint with the prosecutor’s office, not only against the above-mentioned individuals but also against the investigating group in the case. On 2 April 1991, shots were fired from the building of the Labour Party committee in Shkodra at peaceful demonstrators protesting the result of the 31 March 1991 elections, in which four young men from Shkodra were killed and dozens of others were wounded. “The group at that time set up judges and carried out proceedings for this case has described the masterminds of the massacre as a mystery[?]”

Meeting at PR headquarters

Yesterday morning, the chairman of PR, Mr. Sabri Godo, met at PR headquarters with a delegation from the Republican Party for Popular Unity of the Albanians of Macedonia, led by its vice-chairman, Zejnulla Selimi. Meeting at PR headquarters Yesterday morning, the chairman of PR, Mr. Sabri Godo, met at PR headquarters with a delegation from the Republican Party for Popular Unity of the Albanians of Macedonia, led by its vice-chairman, Zejnulla Selimi. Also taking part in the meeting were the PR Secretary General, Mr. Cerciz Mingomataj, and the Head of Press and Information, Mr. Nertan Alibali. At the start of the meeting, Mr. Selimi spoke about the party he represents, its program, and its presence across the areas of Macedonia. He then outlined the difficulties encountered in cooperation among Albanian parties. “In Macedonia there are six Albanian political parties,” said Mr. Selimi, “but there is no coordination among them. If we do not work united, we will not achieve a solution to the Albanian problem.” He informed Mr. Godo that the Republican Party for Popular Unity had proposed the creation of a Coordinating Council of Albanian parties, which would establish a strong basis for cooperation. In his remarks, after welcoming the guests, Mr. Godo stressed that the Albanian parties in Macedonia must be united on the national issue. “Pluralism should not lead to fighting one another, so we have not been pleased by the divisions there.” Mr. Godo then said that “the current cooperation of Albanian parties with the Macedonian state is not proving fruitful. The Macedonian state is rejecting even the requests of Albanian deputies. The participation of Albanians in the state administration is heading toward zero. Albanian parties do not have their own press. Time in Macedonia is not working for the Albanians.” In conclusion, Chairman Godo declared that the Republican Party seeks contacts, consultations, and cooperation with all Albanian political parties in Macedonia, without exception.
