BY TEOFIK KËKO An unprecedented event, still unwritten in our press: "today the young will die," as our officials at the top of public order put it An unprecedented event, still unwritten in our press: “today the young will die,” as our officials at the top of public order put it, has taken place in our country. More than two hours of notice and passive waiting by law-and-order bodies in the face of an announced protest by the youth forum of the united opposition. An official notice at 14:30 that I repeat here strangely as such. “At all entry and exit points of Tirana, buses from the districts have been blocked by the police, since groups of arrivals from the districts claim they intend to force their way into Tirana.” The police's official comment is that they “aim at dynamite, bombs, and torches.” Even so, in implementation of the order of the minister of public order or his subordinates, the police do not move. They call on the opposition with megaphones to cancel the protest. The people wait and will come unarmed to the protest square, and every announced deadline has expired. They are taken hostage and hostage themselves do not lead to any process. The blocking of roads and the encirclement by armed police push citizens toward the final meeting point. The police redeployment from the entry and exit points, where the situation has become much more tense, is announced from the start as prohibited, but unfortunately the terror is carried out. The scenario of this tragedy named 12 September will remain unwritten. The opposition is shaken, not the only one, but the first, as rarely before, by this event. The party leader condemns this crime in a loud voice. So comes the conviction with this act. There are no more reactions. Even today's prime minister puts into motion those who ordered the execution of a protest with weapons. Where is the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Or the General Prosecutor's Office? Where is the Parliament? Where did the Parliament's inquisitors go, if they truly care about the country and democracy?! What is happening? Where is public opinion and where is the state's stance toward such barbarity? Page 3
