The newspaper denounces The Court of First Instance officially closed its doors to the people of the media—in other words, journalists—or, more simply, those whose duty it is to inform Albanian public opinion about everything that happens and does not happen in the justice system in this country. The absurd decision was communicated to the journalists yesterday by a judge named Ardian Kalija. Meanwhile, the President of this Court, Pajtim Hoxha, stated that he had issued no order that would cause Albanian citizens to lose their right to be informed. The newspaper calls on this institution to withdraw immediately from this shameful decision, which is truly unimaginable at the beginning of this century. The newspaper calls on all colleagues in the print and electronic media to denounce this act. We recall that this Court has also barred television cameras for more than 10 days. Justice in this country. The absurd decision was communicated to journalists only of this Court, Pajtim Hoxha, has stated that he did not issue any special order in this regard, thus leaving us to understand that the censorship imposed is entirely arbitrary. The reason for barring the media from the courtrooms where hearings are held was given orally by the President of the Court in two versions that do not appear to have much to do with each other: “There is no room for journalists in the courtrooms; they are small,” and “you cause a disturbance because you come and go from the court whenever you want.” The newspaper strongly condemns the absurd and ridiculous decision of the Court of First Instance, which censors without any… electronic media to denounce this act. We remind you than 10 days. The newspaper draws the attention of the High Council of Justice and urges it to intervene quickly to resolve this matter, which concerns and worries not only the media, but also the people who have to deal with the Court every day. The newspaper reminds the leaders and members of the Court of First Instance that this latest censorship of the media is nothing other than the best way to confirm the dubious dealings that may be concocted in the courtrooms and corridors of this court.
