“I have experienced this terror only in January '91” Yesterday in Koplik, Malësia e Madhe This morning, PAD MP Arben Imami and the chairman of the PAD Assembly, Gjergj Zefi, set off for a meeting with voters in Malësia e Madhe, but they were mysteriously stopped at three police checkpoints, which together threatened Shkodër. At the entrance to Koplik, the first checkpoint asked the AD leaders for “identification,” but after Imami replied that “people are free to move about freely in a democracy,” the police justified themselves by citing the “possibility of escorting them.” At the exit of Koplik, the AD leaders encountered the second checkpoint. After stopping MP Imami and Zefi, the police explained that “we have orders to escort you to the head of the police station.” “An MP does not have a police commissioner who summons him,” Imami replied to the Malësia e Madhe police. After managing to continue toward Tamara and Vukaj, according to the planned meetings with voters, near the new church in Hot, 6 police officers with automatic weapons who refused to identify themselves before the MP “surrounded” the AD leaders for a third time. The police, weapons in hand and barrels pointed at the AD leaders’ car, did not allow the MPs to proceed any further. page 3
