The Blockmen remain in prison

TIRANE - Those accused of genocide will once again remain in prison. Following a brief court hearing at the Court of Cassation, a large number of former dictatorship officials will ultimately await their trial verdict behind bars. Ramiz Alia, Piro Kondi, Raqi Fllifca, Z. Çoka, D. Bengasi and others arrested after their arrests filed various requests concerning their detention measures with the Court of Cassation. “Brought down” by the Tirana Prosecutor’s Office on charges of committing genocide while they were leading the country, a number of senior officials of the communist regime were to have their detention measures reviewed. Piro Kondi, Raqi Iftica, Z. Çoka, Dilaver Bengasi, and finally the number one of the PPSH after Hoxha’s death, Ramiz Alia, were sent to the Tirana Court by the Prosecutor’s Office after their arrest, for reassessment of their detention measures. This court upheld the measure of detention in prison. Later, some of them appealed to the Court of Appeal, while former President Alia “preferred” to have his arrest case go directly to the Court of Cassation. Za.Kr

At first he could not understand what it was, and only after clearing away the soil did he see that it contained a tooth... a giant tooth. The tooth was about 30 centimetres long and weighed about 5 kilograms. His first idea was that the fossilized tooth belonged, judging by its size and weight, to a giant prehistoric animal that must have died in precisely that area. As he could tell at first glance, the tooth had been remarkably well preserved in the ground for perhaps tens of thousands of years and had no serious damage. For further details—the age of the tooth, the type of animal it belonged to, and the reason it is found in that area—specialists will need to give their opinion. But it should be said that so far, apart from the discoverer and the photographer, no one has seen the object. Priest, then the specialists’ assessment: Mrekulliap...
