The Government Protects Azem’s Killers

Today, 715 days since the murder of the December leader Every day that passes since the murder of Azem Hajdari, a symbol of democracy and pluralism, proves the involvement of Fatos Nano’s government and its para-state in the crime that shook the entire Albanian world. The governments of the former communists, who are free and have not been brought to justice, are the criminals who took the life of the December Leader; they show Albanians that they have been and remain on the side of the murderers, who have names of their own but are not touched by those in power. Democrats and all Albanians who loved and honored Azem Hajdari can in no way tolerate this fact. The government must either apprehend the criminals and bring them to justice, or publicly declare that it itself committed the murder of Azem Hajdari.
