The European Commission concerned about the strikers From the free meeting of the strikers with the delegation of the European Troika The condition of the former persecuted strikers is worsening. Today the escalation of protests begins The government's silence will radicalize the protests Determined to their demands, the strikers are close to deciding to sever all contact with the outside world, just like the eight islands of Tirana ON PAGE 2

On the 22nd day of the hunger strike, the doctor’s daughter-in-law in the third building for solving the crisis In the name of the persecuted, as we said yesterday, in the name of freedom and human rights, I, the honored doctor of theirs, am in his defense. Daci Hope in the European Commission and the monarchy has been a reflection, not a challenge or a hope, and often a matter of individual enthusiasm. Relying on this personal element, their liberation and survival beyond the normal, especially in a post-communist Europe that has developed, is being viewed with suspicion. After two days of the hunger strike being carried out by the politically persecuted in protest in front of the OSCE office, there has been no official contact and no official promise whatsoever to restore the rights of these categories. The stalling policy of the government officials has dragged on abnormally and there have been continuous tendencies to smother the protest. The most significant example is the institutional entirety of the European Commission and its representative in Tirana, who has contented himself with the position of the Albanian officials, without making any effort to see up close the grave health conditions of the strikers and the real reasons for their drama. After 22 days of the strike, we do not think there is a need for much investigation to understand the deep social wound of the former persecuted in Albania. This indifference of foreigners is apparently becoming increasingly clear and is favoring a dangerous precedent for the neglect of human rights in Albania. The passivity of the European Commission representatives in this regard is not only incomprehensible but also unacceptable. This institutional hatred toward the victims of communism means that it has not yet been understood that the issue of the former persecuted is not a social problem, but a true test of Albanian democracy. If the international community continues to remain silent, it will bear part of the moral responsibility for the consequences that the escalation of this protest may bring. The next European Commission delegation and the OSCE mission must understand that their silence can no longer be interpreted as neutrality, but as a lack of will to defend the values they themselves claim to represent.

No scheme will go unpunished, millions of dollars will be lost; so far the grabbers of the money, while Albanians have not seen a single cent ON PAGE 3
