The hunger strikers are asking for our solidarity Let us gather today at 11:00, in front of the Azem Hajdari memorial! Young people have been done an injustice. The young people of today are yesterday’s students. Their resistance is the resistance of every Albanian. They are right. All citizens, regardless of political beliefs, must be present today at 11:00 in front of the Azem Hajdari memorial. The brutal state violence against the hunger strike and the students cannot be ignored. The students of Vlorë and Elbasan are being “ordered” to go home. Kastro Islami had done the same thing in 1991. Kastro Islami is the only Minister of Education

BY BEN BLUSHI Although Fatos Nano’s spokesman, A[?]os Imami, had declared a few days earlier that the use of 120 pedagogy students to organize Azem Hajdari’s funeral ceremony was “like in wartime,” the new minister of education Ethem Ruka has used this tactic on a large scale, involving hundreds of university students to support the government’s initiative on the strike. Should they be locked in a club for 18 days to demonstrate that the university has no heating? Or should they stay for weeks to show the people that the student revolt is not due to the cold? Both forms have been tried this week in Albania. The first, called the “radiators,” were tested by the current government. The second, the jeans students, had been invented by Alia years earlier. Little has been said about the similarities between these two interesting cases of Albanian students. In fact, the government’s “warm students” and Alia’s students dressed in jeans are two different ways of not letting Albanian students become students. To use them as political decoration. Time will show whether the governments that “encourage” the jeans and the radiators will be the winners. But the Albanian student has so far gained only one thing: he has been treated endlessly as a political tool. ON PAGE 3
