Criminals investigate their victims

The report of the commission 'Nigela, an apology for the crimes of former Albanian communists. The opposition rejects the results of 'Maka[it?]' The report of the commission 'Nigela, an apology for the crimes of former Albanian communists, the opposition rejects the results of 'Maka[i?]t' Combining the dissonant efforts of the police for some alleged crimes of the dictatorship and the officialization of the mafia. A new backstage operation is being organized, and testimony through abuse and intimidation may become the standard method of action used by the government bands. Sali Berisha denounced yesterday at the press conference what he considered a disgusting game to rehabilitate the dictator’s figures. Referring to the report of the 'Nigela' commission and yesterday’s meeting of the Prosecutor General with some of the interest groups, Berisha said that the Albanian government is trying to hide the communist crime, turn the victims into culprits and close once and for all the file of political persecution. According to him, the commission set up to investigate the crimes of the dictatorship is made up of people who were part of the previous system or its moral and political defenders. This, Berisha said, makes any claim of impartiality absurd and unacceptable. He stressed that the opposition rejects the conclusions presented and will seek a real, independent investigation based on documents and authentic testimony from the victims. ON PAGE 3

Ngjela’s delayed resignation

The lawyer threatens the Socialists: I may speak publicly The lawyer can tell Albanians what his investigation in this case was and which facts were hidden in recent months. The hot nose for the voting of the so-called 'ko-' should keep track of Ngjela’s role and the 'pioçen' that it did to the order. It may be the contribution of the 'ndjogjen' that it did to the order. Ah, the entri t e Mëkareses depends on becoming the 'pioëtinj'.[?] Yesterday’s dismissals of the two senior prosecutors and Ngjela’s delayed resignation were interpreted as an attempt to avoid political responsibility in the case of the investigation into communist crimes. Sources close to the opposition said that this move does not erase the damage caused and that full transparency is still lacking. ON PAGE 10
