Nano brings back the era of political imprisonments; in Tirana, 14 prisoners of conscience are being tried. The court orders detention for those arrested in Milot, without any evidence Assassination attempt on Hajdari Dozens of police vans surround the court. Nine hours to sign the disgraceful decision. The trial was compromised from the very beginning when the judge in charge of the case was brought prejudged decisions, which were waiting only for his signature. The decisions came from Fehmi Abdiu and the nephew of Bari Omari brought the half-finished rulings Ai KAZAZI, Florent KALDHOPULLI, 6 days Grimis BALILI, house arrest Çezen KOKALARI, five days Sali HAXHIPALI, 10 days Fatmir PTULA, 15 days Shaqir ALIA, 15 days Arif GJONI, 15 days Edmond BUSHI, 10 days Lirëzim MUSHAJTI, 6 days Dem DOLLAPI, Arni MUSTAFA RAJ, Flora SHAHINI, house arrest Julian BIBA, 10 days The prisoners in Durrës prison After the imposition of detention measures against five MPs and journalist Ilir Frangu, the prosecution has requested house arrest for former Minister of Culture Edi Martini and an arrest warrant for former Minister of Public Order Ahmet Prençi.
