Terror by Ruçi’s gangs
Saranda: The Secretary for International Relations of the PD, L. Demi, is held hostage and tortured
Terror by Ruçi’s gangs
The Democratic Party denounces this criminal act and considers Nano and his gangs directly responsible for it. All the consequences of this service will weigh on the Socialist ranks
The armed gangs of the Socialist Party, commanded all the way to the criminal takeover of its offices by the skafists from Vlorë, kidnapped on Friday evening the Secretary for International Relations of the Democratic Party, Leonard Demi, who was carrying out his party duties in the city of Saranda, where he had gone on orders from the Democratic Party. These armed bandits, after holding him hostage and physically torturing him for almost two and a half hours, released him at midnight, threatening him with weapons and holding hostage, under armed threat, the chairman of the Democratic Party in Saranda. The next morning, the chief of the police commissariat, known as a skafist, declared that even Ruçi’s own associate, appointed by him at the head of the Saranda police, was enough to play the role of spokesman for these gangs and to claim that no torture and no kidnapping of Mr. Demi had taken place, mocking a man just released by the bandits who could barely stand on his feet. This is the time of terror that has come with the Socialist government and with Ruçi’s orders. This was their rule in Vlorë and this is now spreading throughout the south of the country.
The PD Secretary Leonard Demi, known to the armed gangs of Vlorë since the beginning of the communist terror against its headquarters, was seized on Friday evening at the entrance to the city of Saranda. Reliable sources state that the police commissariat of this city was fully aware that the PD secretary for external relations had come to Saranda. Other sources report that the police commissariat of Delvinë was also aware. At first they kept him locked somewhere in one of the offices of the Ksamil commune and then they tortured him in the police commissariat. Two members of this commissariat took him down to the detention cells and left him there for hours, subjecting him to psychological pressure to make him leave Saranda as soon as possible. Later, amid torture and threats with weapons and vulgar insults, they took him in a private vehicle to Delvinë, on orders from the police commissariat. According to the above sources, there he was questioned by those police leaders of Delvinë and then ordered sent on to Gjirokastër, where apparently wordplay had to be used to erase any notice of this kidnapping and torture against the senior PD official.
All the criminal consequences and the shame of this clique will fall on the Socialist government, on Nano and on its interior minister, Ruçi. All the consequences of this service will weigh on the Socialist ranks.
Socialists cannot escape such crimes inspired directly by them and especially by their interior minister, Ruçi. 'To see the number of Socialist Party MPs who mentioned Leonard Demi at the dinners organized on Friday night with bandits from Saranda and Delvinë and to realize that this crime, this kidnapping and this terrorization, was prepared in advance and organized by Nano’s government. To see that at midnight they order their people in the commissariats to release him, but without allowing any announcement or any contact with the leaders of the Democratic Party, clearly shows the panic that has seized them after their crime,' sources among the leaders of the Democratic Party say.
The Socialist Party stirs up the enemies of Gramoz Ruçi
The answer has long since taken shape. It has been given not only through disregard for the mission of the socialist government and for political opponents, but above all through voices and criticism, statements, protests and denunciations, denunciations with protests. Also striking is a well-known package near Golem Ruçi and the policeman Gramoz Ruçi. But those who know him well know that he is unrestrained, with an unappeased hatred for those he considers enemies.
He is the latest case of the brutality that is characterizing Nano’s government. Shortly after taking office, he went to Saranda where he dismissed and arrested the police leaders for the sole fault of having defended order from the armed gangs. These career officers, Lieutenant Colonel Fiqri Agolli and Lieutenant Colonel Agim Zeqo, were immediately put on leave by order of Ruçi and were later arrested on absurd charges. As it seems, for Gramoz Ruçi the problem is not the organized gangs protected by him. The problem is enemies and political opponents. That means that Ruçi is now pursuing a new policy with the police and with those who do not obey him. This is the only explanation for the recent pogroms and for this terror of gangs in the country.
