THE CRIME OF LIBOFSHË - AN OPEN WOUND IN THE BODY OF ALBANIAN DEMOCRACY

SOLD ON THE ROAD TO VIOLATING THE LAW - Colonel Hysen Arapi, director of army counterintelligence, and Bashkim Selami, head of the army SHIK, again went for an “inspection” to the Zall-Herr unit - The Minister of Defense’s order for the deployment of the military troops of this unit until 3 June was violated At yesterday’s meeting with the leadership of the PSP, with the leading structures of the PSP in the districts, with representatives of the association of the politically persecuted, the Albanian Helsinki Committee and the Forum for Human Rights and Freedoms, the Chairman of the PSP, Mr. Fatos Nano, declared: “Yesterday, in the session of Parliament, the brother of MP Fatmir Xhindi spoke for several days, before and after the Libofshë massacre, saying that by the weekend blood would be shed there. This blood was warned of before it was shed. In these circumstances it becomes clear that those who organized the massacre knew for what purpose it was being organized, while at the same time declaring that the majority had turned to the prosecutor’s office and law-enforcement bodies to investigate the event in question. What happened in Libofshë is a pure political provocation. Its aim was to create a state of emergency, to strike at the opposition, to frighten the people and to continue down the path of violating the law. We cannot agree to this. Socialists cannot in any way tolerate the violation of the people’s free vote and the dignity of the lawmaker. In this grave situation, it is necessary to urgently identify the organizers and instigators of this tragedy. The law must apply to everyone, regardless of the position and office they hold. Military and intelligence structures cannot be allowed to be used for political purposes and for terror against citizens.” Following the statement, it was announced that in the districts of Fier, Lushnjë and Mallakastër there is a mobilization of PSP structures to follow developments and to demand justice for the victims of Libofshë.
