Nano’s dark day
Conflict avoided by the Police
A telegram at 9:30 in Tirana caused an alarm — Before the arrest
A significant phrase before the arrest
Bug and growth explosive mix
TIRANA — (...) There is a moment that passes almost unnoticed in the everyday flow of events, but that can become crucial to better understand the last hours of Fatos Nano’s freedom. Shortly before 9:30 he arrives at the Prime Minister’s Office. There are meetings, movements, waiting. Then events accelerate.
In an increasingly tense political climate, rumors, telegrams, orders and counterorders are circulating in Tirana. What stands out is the tension of the day and the way everything heads toward confrontation, but in the end open conflict is avoided.
The Police intervene, guard the building and control the crowd. Fatos Nano is questioned and then, at 2:20 p.m., arrested. The parting from his family members is described as painful and cold.
The photos on the page show the moments before and after the tension. On one side, Nano with his wife and a relative in an official setting; on the other, the crowd, banners and police cordons.
This is Nano’s dark day, told through fragments of the day, testimonies and the movements of the main actors.
