The government protects Azem’s killers
For 680 days since the killing of the leader of December, the government and justice have not uncovered even one of the perpetrators of this murder. Although the trial for the killing of Azem Hajdari has now turned into a farce, with the three defendants convicted for a non-existent “coup d’état,” as well as with a police operation in which two people were killed, justice continues to remain silent. They are often told that “soon the leader of PD will provide information about who killed Azem Hajdari,” but the question was not who seeks the murderers; where are the government and justice? The latter are dealing with all kinds of criminal fabrications, or the absurd accusations of the former police boss. Moreover, they are trying to exonerate the criminals, or cast doubt on the case. This only adds to the anger of those who view the killing of Azem Hajdari
