- The Socialist leader managed to be heard in Geneva, Strasbourg, Brussels, Copenhagen, Bonn, Athens, Melbourne, Madrid, opening the doors of European and world diplomacy - Ali Spahia, the only one who objected in Madrid, placed Albania among Togo, Nigeria, Burma, Colombia, Honduras, Burundi, Indonesia! This UPI report, the world Inter-Parliamentary Union, confirmed on Monday in Geneva the start of a collective, pan-European "campaign" for the Nano case. The decision is based on a clear and indisputable conclusion: "the arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Nano constitute an arbitrary case," because the accusations made against the opposition deputy are not connected either to his previous parliamentary activity or to other substantive facts, but to implications raised on a political background. After the Madrid meeting FATOS NANO BREAKS DOWN THE PRISON DOORS!! - The Socialist leader managed to be heard in Geneva, Strasbourg, Brussels, Copenhagen, Bonn, Athens, Mel- bourne, Madrid, opening the doors of Eu- ropean and world diplomacy - Ali Spahia, the only one who objected in Madrid, re- placed Albania among Togo, Nigeria, Burma, Colombia, Honduras, Burundi, Indonesia! This UPI report, the world Inter-Parliamentary Union, con- firmed on Monday in Geneva the start of a collective, pan- European "campaign" for the Nano case. The decision is ba- sed on a clear and indisputable conclusion, "the arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Nano constitute an arbitrary case," be- cause the accusations made against the opposition deputy are not connected either to his previous parlia- mentary activity or to other substantive facts, but to im- plications raised on a political background. The Paris struggle through the UPI has reached a high level of development in the 170th session (March 1995) of the Inter- Parliamentary Council, where the report on the Fatos Nano case was ap- proved despite Albania's opposition. The parliament of the current government, represented by Deputy Ali Spa- hia (from the 4 deputies belonging to Albania in the UPI and of whom only 2 took part in the session), voted a- gainst the resolution, placing Albania among the countries that do not respect parliamentary rights and the immu- nity of deputies. Violence Against Socialists The Presidency of the Albanian Socialist Party denounces the contin- uation of the authorities' violence (today totally controlled by the PD) against citizens who exercise the right of assembly, one of the constitutionally and internationally recogni- zied rights. The Presidency of the Socialist Party condemns the actions of the police on 31 March and 2 April 1995 in Korçë, against Socialists during the election campaign for the local elections of 6 April, not only as arbitrary, anti-legal and anti-constitutional actions, but also as flagrant violence against the opposition's right to carry out political activity. The violence exercised by the police against PS representatives, especially in the districts of Korçë, Maliq and Pogradec, together with the degeneration of the electoral climate and the vo- ting process, makes the anti-democratic and anti-popular face of the Berisha regime even clearer. The Presidency of the Socialist Party informs that it will ad- dress the mission of the Conference on Security and Coope- ration in Europe (CSCE), the mission of the Council of Europe, the delegation of the European Union and the embassies of Western countries accredited in Tirana, as well as the entire public opinion and the independent press, to de- nounce this unscrupulous violence and the violation of the right to assembly and political demonstration. The Presidency of the Socialist Party of Albania considers that police violence is exercised with clear political motives and with direct electoral effect. The taking of measures and the energetic response by all rel- evant international bodies to stop violence against the opposition and to guarantee the minimum conditions for the holding of local elections, will not be de- layed and ineffective in protecting a basic human right, universally recognized, the right to assembly and protest.

In the back-room television deputy? Ruzhdia Hoxha, the proc[e]duralist who is playing out the scenario of replacing old communists with the new generation of anti-Albanians because Dokle is one of the key figures of the PS, has turned into another weapon against parliamentary activity. Sali Berisha is convinced that on 26 May he will win the runoff in the Kavajë district against his rival Naim Dokle, with the brother of his son’s wife at his side. In the back-room television deputy. Berisha's in-law against Naim Dokle Ruzhdia Hoxha, the proc[e]duralist who is playing out the scenario to re- place old communists with the new ge- neration of anti-Albanians because Dokle is one of the key figures of the PS, has turned into another weapon against parliamentary activity. Sali Berisha is convinced that he will win on 26 May the run- off in the Kavajë district, against his rival Naim Dokle, hav- ing at his side the brother of his son’s wife. Luan Mullezi is unkno- wn to the public. Although he is talked about as a dictionary, most of our people barely know him by name. He was a party sec- retary in an agricultural cooperative and was only a little known in Kavajë. He has never stood out as a public figure or as a politician. He was put forward as a candidate against Naim Dokle because he arouses some jealousy in Berisha’s electorate. He has no public career be- fore him, nor danger nor charisma. Bu- t one thing is certain: he is the son- in-law of Berisha’s son’s family. The new friendship between the Mullezi family and Berisha was born during these two years. By temporarily winning their politi- cal rights in the administration, the Mullezis began to appear in the capital as part of the close circle of the Berisha family. This connection has grown stronger with the passing of time, giving Luan Mullezi the chance to become a usable name in ruling circles. (continued on page 5)

At the Tirana Court: After 15 months, the murderer was sentenced to 6 years in prison The 17-year-old, son of Jordan Sula i Ni- velit, who stabbed Elidon Sula, has been inter- rupted. This event took place on 17 June 1993 in Selitë Me- sshëm. As is known, he was automatically taken in a chain of custody on "Zhan D'Ark" boulevard. During an argument with Su- la, the minor stabbed him with a knife. Three days later the victim died. (continued on page 5)

Deputy Sali Çeliku also spoke yesterday, who denounced the people's place he developed and the comrade. In his speech, he said that the Assembly, although it brought together the bloodied members of the family, at least should have appointed at the head of the Media Committee someone and replaced it with another candidate. This did not enter the procedure and did not serve to prevent the decisions of the opposition and the harmful ones. He said that Albanians do not need political obstacles and should preserve the state, not the riots. He asked that the matter of the media committee be re-voted and the hasty decision be withdrawn. He called the decision unacceptable and contrary to the democratic spirit. (continued on page 5)

ANEMIC BUDGET FOR EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND CULTURE From the discussion of Deputy Marko Laveri The chairman and vice-chairman of the committee on science and technology, Deputy Laveri, speaking on behalf of the parliamentary group of the Socialist Party, said that the 1995 budget draft in the face of poverty alleviation is unacceptable. The increase in budget expenditures for education, culture and science was necessary and to some extent justified, given the decline in the level of teaching, the lack of textbooks and laboratory equipment. Schools are being massively abandoned by teachers. The salaries of lecturers and researchers are ridiculous. This serious situation puts the country's development and youth at risk. Cultural values are being destroyed. There is a neglectful policy toward cultural institutions. Theaters, museums and libraries are facing major financial shortages. According to him, a nation that does not invest in education and culture condemns its own future. (continued on page 5)

Without culture It happened on Sunday 26.3.95 that the public technician Ilie Qazimi went to my house and rented a central water and heating tap. After he opened it, he took it and left. But after a few days, with the intervention of the security services, on 31.3.95 he took it again with all the keys, telling me that he would return it soon for free. I took it for two weeks in a row and he did not return it. Ac- cording to the financial police, workers, owners and judges, they are harmful to order. Instead of upholding calm through professional work, he caused a scan- dal in our neighborhood. If the waterworks work is not returned to its previous condition, I will address the state institutions and the private and party press. Ilia Blliu, for an old and married boy. (continued on page 5)

Exploitation of the Shëllon corridor - a commonplace political instrument in the hands of the PD Statement by the Presidency of the PS District Committee of Tepelenë The many efforts of the Chairman of the Tepelenë District and of the police commissioner of Ballsh, Messrs. N[?]azi Mosorrist, Mikel Bashit, Mr. Veloti, Ismail Nëro, etc., with the knowledge of the Chairman of the PD branch, Mr. Sulej- man Më[?]o[?]czi, who, in com- pany with the chairman of the Luzat Commune and the village chief, organized, for electoral purposes, the handing out of a quantity of diesel to the res- idents of this village, in order to solve it with diesel and oven water. This was tried to be manipulated by the staff of the PD candidate for the Luzat commune, as a success of local gov- ernment. The citizens of the area quickly understood this deception and reacted with indignation. This low act and the political pressure exer- cised on the residents to vote for the PD candidate demonstrate the moral degradation of the gov- ernors and the absence of any ethics in the election campaign. The Presidency of the PS District Committee of Tepelenë calls on the residents of this area not to fall prey to these de- ceptions and to vote according to their con- science. (continued on page 5)
