For the tragedy of the prisons in Greece The events in the prisons of Athens and Thessaloniki are bringing down the Greek night on Albanian emigrants. Even before the events in Athens and Thessaloniki had ended, the police storm was unleashed on Albanian emigrants. Within 5 days, more than 12,000 emigrants have been gathered in over 40 cities across Greece, and every day around 20 buses bring them to Kapshticë and Kakavijë. On 16 November 1995 alone, a full 1,005 emigrants were brought to our two border points, 370 of them to Kakavijë and another 635 to Kapshticë. This number of returns has been rising on the following days, and the Thessaloniki-Kapshticë route is the one that brings in 500–700 emigrants every day. No explanation, only rubber batons, handcuffs, mistreatment and return to Albania. Most mysterious of all is this return of emigrants, when among them there are also bodies being returned, as on 17.11.1995, when the body of the citizen Vasil Kucuqi, 31, resident of Delvinë, arrived in Kakavijë. No kind of document is taken into account. “You have incited the Albanians in the prisons of Athens and Thessaloniki to revolt, therefore you must leave Greece.” As is known, today there are 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, those of Greece and Albania, for their return, nothing has changed or improved for this category of people. They have been left without lawyers, without appearing in court, although these legal deadlines have long since passed. Thus, instead of these problems being solved, the opposite is happening, this time even with an operation of the “Broom” type from the big ones since 1993. S. R.

Former communist president R. Alia Former Prime Minister Nano Former Interior Minister Ruçi Alia, Nano, Ruçi will 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 brought before the Republic’s General Prosecutor’s Office over the 2 April 1991 massacre. The chairman of the anti-communist association 2 Prilli, E. P[?]rjaku, told ATSH that the association is preparing the materials to file the complaint with the prosecutor’s office, not only against the above-mentioned individuals but also against the investigating team in the case. On 2 April 1991, from the building of the Shkodër Party of Labour committee, live fire was opened against peaceful demonstrators protesting the result of the 31 March 1991 elections, in which four young men from Shkodër were killed and dozens of others injured. “[?] The group of judges and the proceedings carried out for this case have identified the masterminds of the massacre as a mystery [?]”

Yesterday morning, the chairman of the PR, Mr. Sabri Godo, met at the PR headquarters with the delegation of the Republican Party for the Popular Unity of the Albanians of Macedonia, headed by its vice-chairman, Zejnulla Selimi. Also taking part in this meeting were the PR Secretary General, Mr. Cerciz Mingomataj, and the head of Press and Information, Mr. Nertan Alibali. At the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Selimi spoke about the party he represents, its program, and its reach across Macedonia. He then presented 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 has proposed the creation of a Coordinating Council of Albanian parties that would create 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 war against one another, so we have not been pleased by the divisions there.” Mr. Godo then said that “the current cooperation of the Albanian parties with the Macedonian state is not proving fruitful. The Macedonian state rejects even requests from Albanian deputies. The participation of Albanians in the state administration is heading toward zero. Albanian parties do not have their own press. The time in Macedonia is not working for the Albanians.” In conclusion, Chairman Godo stated that the Republican Party seeks contacts, consultations and cooperation with all Albanian political parties in Macedonia, without exception.

In the end, the 34 former senior officials and commanders of the border forces responsible for 36 killings on the Albanian border during 1989-'92 are under indictment. Yesterday, the parliamentary commission on Defense and SHIK, after hearing the Interior Minister, A. Musaraj, again and checking the completion of the documentation by this ministry, deemed it complete and approved sending these documents to the prosecutor’s office for the آغاز of investigations and punitive measures against the 34 accused. 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 newspapers, but could not escape indictment. H. Isai clarified that he had received the order from R. Alia. But on this list there are also 32 other names, who were directly in charge where the killings took place. The most notable thing is that many of these mentioned have enigmatic addresses. Yesterday, the parliamentary commission completed the documents properly and forwarded them to the prosecutor’s office. Thus the punishment for genocide begins to take shape. But in a short time the parliamentary commission is also expecting the materials for the second list, which includes many names from the red nomenklatura who will have the same fate. A.D.
