- Ali Spahia, spokesperson for the presidium, finally acknowledges the opposition's objections regarding violations of constitutional provisions. - The pressure from the authorities of the Council of Europe and from judicial bodies themselves also played a major role in this withdrawal. - The socialist opposition sincerely welcomed such positive reactions, which open the way to genuine democracy. Yesterday, at the end of the plenary session, an event of major importance took place. It was announced that the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party, through the Presidium spokesperson Ali Spahia, was withdrawing the request for the dismissal of the three members of the Court of Cassation, Mr. Xh. Broci, Mr. Ll. Shaqiri and Mr. Xh. Mici, as a result of the reaction inside and outside the country to this unconstitutional act. That reaction was so strong that the democratic majority was forced to cut short its course and suspend its offensive against independent institutions. This decision by the right-wing majority is positively significant as far as the democratization of parliamentary life is concerned, but the opposition considered it absolutely necessary that such an act should not pass without comment. That is why the podium of the People's Assembly was used by MP Namik Dokle to point out not only the legal basis that rendered the rejected request invalid, but also the political morality of this move. The most general commentary was made by the chairman of the Socialist Parliamentary Group, Servet Pëllumbi. Noting that Albania is doing itself great harm on the international stage by distorting the political climate in the country, he said: "by withdrawing the request for the dismissal of the three judges, it is clearly shown that the PD parliamentary group made a serious mistake. Now that the mistake is being corrected, it is regrettable that everything is being done very late and only after intervention by the authorities of the Council of Europe." Mr. Pëllumbi described this act as "a victory for the opposition and for independent institutions." Along the same line was Mr. Ali Spahia, who stated that the majority was withdrawing the request "in appreciation of the remarks of the Council of Europe, the judicial bodies and the opposition." The very fact that he listed these three sources in that order shows how great the external influence was in putting a stop to the unconstitutional adventure. In the hall of the Assembly, this drew particular attention, because until yesterday official propaganda claimed that the opposition was defending corrupt judges. Now, with this turn, it turns out that the very initiators of the dismissal are admitting that the procedure followed was wrong. For this reason, the socialist deputies welcomed this withdrawal as a positive sign, but they demanded that such cases not be repeated. The discussions pointed out that respect for the independence of the judiciary is a fundamental condition for the functioning of the rule of law. Any attempt to subordinate justice to the interests of the day runs counter to democratic principles and harms Albania's image. That is precisely why both the domestic and international reaction became decisive. The socialist opposition deputies stressed that the withdrawal of the request should not be seen only as a step back by the majority, but as a lesson that everyone should learn: constitutional institutions cannot be used at the whim of those in power. Only in this way can the path to genuine democracy and a normal parliamentary life be opened.

- order and discipline in prisons must be maintained, but care must be taken to ensure that punishments are eased rather than hardened whenever possible, - our country needs a fundamental and professional reform of the system for enforcing criminal sentences, - laws must be in line with international human rights standards, - in cases of deaths in prisons, transparency and a full investigation are required. The Albanian Helsinki Committee expresses concern about conditions in Albanian prisons and calls for immediate measures to improve conditions, the treatment of prisoners, and respect for their rights. The statement says that although state authority must be preserved and order and discipline in prisons are necessary, this does not mean that punitive measures should go beyond the law and humane standards. According to the Committee, the prison system in Albania needs professional reforms, qualified staff and greater public oversight. It also calls on the competent bodies to clarify the cases of deaths and serious incidents that have occurred in penal institutions. The statement also emphasizes the need to harmonize Albanian legislation with international conventions and European practice in the field of human rights.

Durrës The criminal case against Emri Dervishi, who produced the marine Tony Miller, proceeds On Thursday evening around 8:30 p.m. at the port of Durrës, the trial began against the former head of the seaport administration and his employee Emri Dervishi, accused of the criminal offenses of abuse of office and fraud. The hearing was held in the presence of the bench and the prosecutor, while the public showed particular interest in the courtroom. According to the indictment, Dervishi is suspected of having facilitated the unlawful entry of the foreign citizen Tony Miller into Albanian territory by using irregular documents and procedures. The prosecution argued that this incident endangered port security and caused administrative and criminal consequences. The defense rejected these claims, saying that its client had acted under unclear circumstances and without the aim of personal gain. The court decided to adjourn the hearing for further examination of the evidence.
