The chairmen of 37 districts are ready for any surprise on 26 May Yesterday, PS leaders gave the final instructions throughout Albania The PS leadership has gathered all PS chairmen in the districts, regarding the election procedures and the measures socialists should take to prevent possible manipulation by the PD. The district chairmen once again learned all the details of the voting forms and the vote-counting results. The PS election office showed the district leaders in concrete terms one of the procedures for opening a polling station, the ballot box, securing the voting booth, registering voters, and even filling out the main record. It is understood that these chairmen will gather all their members at the polling stations and explain to them all the possible tricks the authorities are expected to use to manipulate the vote. page 3

If things were done in Albania as in democratic states, Berisha, Meksi and other high-ranking officials would have to spend a long time in court Former head of Cassation writes from America Albanians, to their own detriment, continue to be afraid as in the days of dictatorship; afraid of the wicked, afraid of the rulers, afraid of SHIK, afraid of acquaintances, afraid of strangers, afraid of cars without license plates, afraid of cars with state license plates, afraid even of a friend, afraid... afraid even of themselves. People, for your own good, get rid of fear on 26 May and throughout your life. Do not enter the path of the faithless and do not walk on the road of evil people, because they cannot sleep unless they have done harm, their sleep disappears if they have not brought someone down. page 9

His son: “They may have killed my mother in her cell” Yesterday, from the cemetery of the village of Gajush in Lezha to Kombinat in Tirana Eight years after her death, the grave of the wife of former prime minister Mehmet Shehu is found. About 70 km from the capital, an unmarked grave, only with the prisoner's number, together with the dead in the Zejmen camp Only three hours after his mother's reburial, Bashkim Shehu tells “KJ”... After I was released from prison in March 1991, only two months later I began the search, which was interrupted only a few days later. An order signed 40 years ago by the Minister of the Interior (perhaps also by my father) did not allow the remains of those who died in prison to be returned. After 22 March 1992, during the time of the PD government, I asked for a meeting with the Minister of the Interior, Kopliku, who ordered one of his staff to inspect the archive and find the burial record. The document I managed to get hold of was official and accurate, so I had no reason to hurry. Meanwhile, I carried out searches to find my father's burial place, which was even more difficult. Since I could not trace it and concluded that I had gone abroad for some time. A few months ago I returned and resumed the searches. After I traced my father's grave, three weeks ago I went to Lezha and verified the place where the casket was cut. Only yesterday did I manage to make concrete the searches of several years, with the great hope of very soon finding my father's remains as well................. page 5

Again “Koha Jonë” without a phone Director Hekuran Cenku cuts the phones It has been more than 8 days since the newsroom of “Koha Jonë” has been working without a phone, after the director of Tirana Telecom, Hekuran Cenku, as well as SHIK of Tirana, ordered the interruption of the telephone signal for both numbers 28781 and 28796. Under these conditions the newsroom has been and is forced to work in abnormal conditions, without the possibility of obtaining full information from all districts.
