The family Gjoni under diktatorship
The Albanian state, the
Albanian government can be already baptized with the name of Gangs, all
through numerous facts. It is a junta of this so called state, who killes day
by day the dignity of this people, is killing the hopes, innocent people and
the future of this country. About 4000 Albanians have been shot in these last
five years, hundreds of thousands have left Albania, because of violence,
unemployment, illiteracy, tens of thousands of dossiers have been opened by
the communist dictatorship, helped also by the communist spies. There already
a tragedy published through the indipendent and oppository mass-media even in
the international space. The most toushed area of Albania is the North, Shkodra.
The murders, violencies, kidnaps by day and by night, in the center of the
city or in houses, the free movement of the gangs of this state and the
insecurity of the people have become part of the daily life. The democrats
Agostin and Valbona Gjoni have often been so near to be shot, just because
they are democrats, they want a free Albania, without violence and
political discrimination. As well as many other Albanian democats, they lined
up against communism since the beginning of the democratic developments. They
participated in the protest of January 14, 1990 when the bust of Stalin was
pulled down, in that of December 13, 1990, when the bust of Enver was pulled
down, in the protest of April 2, 1991 against the stealth of votes by Ramiz
Alia, where four people, Arben Broci, Bujar Bishanaku, Besnik Ceka, Nazmi
Kryeziu, have been killed, and other 162 wounded. They participated at the
funeral of the deputy Hajdari on September 14, 1998, where they got even the
political punishment by the gangs, led by this communist state. Agostin and
Valbona have suffered the rubber sticks, kicks and beastly thumps, threats of
physical elimination because of the political activity. The democrat Agostin
Gjoni has been also hospitalized because of the tortures. Before he was forced
to leave Albania, he was a businessman who possessed a bakery in the “Daniel
Matlia” quarter of Shkodra, and many poor people had they daily bread
whithout paying. This too did make the communists upset, as they have made of
Albania a poor nation, so that today you find out long lists on the shops,
when you look for statistics, but the owners do not make them known as they
fear the dictators. They wanted to kill even Agostin Gjoni, during the night
while sleeping at home. They had put explosive stuff in his house, but thanks
God who saved them and made possible for them to be not buried but somewhere
on the hard ways of the western world. The communist gangs have marked the
democrats and want them dead, while the criminals are free and you see them
every day with judges, attorneys, deputies.
This is the dark Albanian reality, where the life of the
political opposers has lost value.

Tirana: The political convictions are punished
Not only in the Northern Albania, or in the cities so-called provinces,
but also in the Albanian capital city, in Tirana, the political convictions
are severely punished by the communists. The democrats are the victims of the
violence. The politic of revenge, led by the communist leaders who govern the
country is showed by numerous elements starting with threats, arrests and
illtreatments in the police stations, with the kidnapping of the children,
and the physical elimination. These are the reasons that have forced and are
forcing many democrats to leave their country and go by the ways of the
world.
Kujtim Deliallisi is a subject of the cleanisng politics, the
politics of elimination and the killing of democratic wills.
Kujtim Maliq Deliallisi,
born on December 11, 1960, is one of those Albanians who have the heart and
soul of a patriot. He was lined with the first ones since the beginning of the democratic
movements. He also was one of the first members, and later the chairman of
the DP in the division of the 36-th quarter of Kombinat, where he lived.
During all his political activity, Kujtim Deliallisi is highlighted as an
unyielding activist. His wife was also active in the DP, giving a great
contribution, that costed her the job as a teacher,
so she was moved to Ndroq, and this was motivated only for political convictions.
Kujtim Deliallisi cought the eye of the secret services of
the Albanian state for the activity in the democratic movement and his
participation in the protests and activities of the DP, as well as his
involvement in the various elections, representing the DP. This was a
certainty during his open reactions in his quarter in Kombinat of Tirana,
arguing everything that was against democracy, menacing the democratic
values, and everything sealed with the sing of the power of the traffickers,
the corrupted, the murders, the today’s governors. In meantime, the state
starts the campaign of threats toward him, considering him a very dangerous
person.
The absurdity of the state’s threats go as far as menacing
him to leave the DP and shut up, otherwise his daughter would be kidnaped.
The threats of the people dressed up with immunity are part of the reality.
We can remember many fatal outcomes fo this kind that have been the subject
of many admonishments done to the Albanian Government by the international
part.
Kujtim Deliallisi was forced to leave Albania along with his
two daughters, his wife and his mother, for he has two daughters of 11 and 6
years old, and couldn’t swallow the threats and the political discrimination,
and in the impossibility to find out a normal reality for his family.
The communists on power today have found out the elimination
of the democrats, the threats to make them lay aside the DP, as a way to
rule, giving them the emigration as the only choice in these conditions of
terror, pressure, illtreatments, murders and faked
trials.
There are numerous missing in Kosovo
The eternity of the national
ideals has overwhelmed many Kosovars. Those in graves are remembered with
respect, but also those whose graves are not known that might be somewhere in
pits or woods, or even escaped, their names and activity is remembered.
Kosovo is a country that has written so much of history on the battles with
the Serb beast. The family Gashi from the historical Llapushnik has its part
in the sacred sacrifice for a free Kosovo. It was a good Kosovar family. Agim
Gashi and Haxhije Gashi had grown up their brilliant children Ilir, Mentor, Edmond
and Mirjan. But the life is impossible where there is injustice, where the people is under the pressur of the invader. Agim Gashi has
faced pressure and arguments as a member and activist of the DLK. After an
Odissey, on December 2000, this family turnes back to its village Llapushnik
where started the problems with threats and terror. The children of this
Kosovar are forced to live hidden in other countries. One of the sons, Mentor whose picture we
are going to publish, has left his family on August 1999 and neither his
relatives nor anybody else in Llapushnik knows anything about his destiny.
After the war for the liberation of Kosovo Agim Gashi had pressures even at
his home, to tell where his son was. Ilir Gashi, the other member of the
family Gashi, has also fought with the people who sought after Mentor, and those were
Kosovars too. It is said that he is wanted to be shot for not executing the
orders! There are many problems in Kosovo. There is discorde between parties,
ethnics, territories etc. however Mentor Gashi and many other Kosovars are
missing, and no matter the problems, they are the blood and the life of
Kosovo that is hoped to become a model country under the care of the west.

Why was the democrat Izedin Lani menaced?!
The violence and the
oppression on the democrats has no end. These last
days, according to a secret but certain authority, dark sections of the
state’s security have attempted to find out where is living hidden the
democrat Izedin Muho Lani. He is certainly wanted to be shot as well as many
other innocent democrats. His forerunners had suffered the political persecution
since 1946 and Izedin is on their target, as he is a member of the DP since
1991 and partecipant in all the anticommunist protests, especially after the
usurpation of the democratic power by the communists in 1997. on August 18, 1997 this democrat suffers the political
imprisonment for two months. He was accused to be the organizer of the
barrier raised to the former prime minister Bashkim Fino in Bushat, to forbid
him to enter in Shkodra, while he was going in north Albania. But the state failed for
missing evidence. However he swallowed the beats and bestly tortures along
with the statements of the police-men menacing: “we’ll fleece mercilessly all
of you people of Sali Berisha”. His house was blown up after the elections of
June 24, 2001, already closely-fought by the opposition, and with much
disapproval even by the international organizations. This was done by the
masked people, with political motives, but fortunately there wereno victims.
If we talk about victims, we should say that these last five years have been
shot about 5000 innocent Albanians.

The democrats leave
The communists seem to have
a final goal, make the democrats leave Albania, if are not able to shot
them, so that they might have it easier to sit on the chairs of stealing,
organized crime and trafficking. The wellknown democrat Fatmir Muhamet
Bajraku, after many
violations and pressures to be killed, is forced to leave his country for
since the foundation of the DP he echoed a pure democracy, for human freedom.
The democrat Bajraku risked his life seriously on June 29, 1997 when the
fascist gangs of Fatos Nano pushed down the democratic power. On June 30,
1997, in the evening, around the 2130-2200 the police
arrested and tortured him in his home, in the presence of his wife and
family. For three days he experienced the political prison, where he suffered
violence and threats to be killed if he doesn’t lay aside his right wing
political convictions. The threats went on with anonymous letters under the
door, terrorizing his wife and the children. On February 22, 2002, while
Fatmir was coming back to Shkodra from Tirana, masked police men have beaten
him without any reason and have told him that all the democrats of doctor
Berisha will be shot. On December 12, 1999 along with the democrat Musa
Shega, at about 1930, went like a shot, and this last one was
heavily wounded. Fatmir and Musa had the bar-restaurant “Flamuri” (the flag)
in Shtoj i Ri, that was blown up.

The Gera
family discriminated
The social-communists
“preach” invain on democracy, for the violence, repression and political
discrimination is of the same size, if not larger and then in the Enver
Hoxha’s time. The democrat Dritan Gera, born on July 16, 1976 is an appeal
against the communist dictatorship and an example of political persecution.
He has suffered in these so called years of pluralism, for he comes from an
anticommunist family, expropriated, interned and condemned, discriminated
during the time of Enver Hoxha. He has suffered cruel tortures, for the only
reason of being a democrat. Dritan Gera is noted since younger, in the
beginning of the democratic processes in Albania, in the pulling down of the
bust of Stalin on January 14, 1990, that of Enver Hoxha on December 13, 1990,
to come to that of April 2, 1991, when the students of the secondary schools
of Shkodra were those who started the protests against the dictatorship of
the former president Ramiz Alia, where four people were killed. In the
funeral of Azem Hajdari on September 14, 1998, this democrat, this young
Albanian, as many other youngers who aspire in a free Albania, he was tortured by the
police of the communist state. Later on, dark sections of the state’s
security have provoked him many times threating to shoot him. The violence in
Albania
is normal now, while even the missionaries of religion are robbed, murdered,
and violated. In these circumstances Dritan Gera is forced to leave Albania. The
life of the democrats is menaced and the gangster Albanian state is enlarging
every day the list of crimes.

Another painful departure
The world already knows that
the communist system in Albania
was the most ferocious and inhuman of all the East.
Comparing to the number of the population, Albania
covers the first place in Europe for the
shot, imprisoned, interned, the thrown out and the politically persecuted.
Following the actual political developments, it is obvious every day more
that it is “pridely” keeping the first place in the Est countries, as far as
the poverty, repressions and repeated persecutions is concerned, in
particular toward some people, mainly for the youngers, who hold western
democratic ideas. These acts are done by the state in very fine ways and
methods, so that none knows them better then the one who sufferes them. The
1997 was nothing else but the return of the communism in Albania
through violence and terror. This return made them more vindictive and
abhorrent toward the democracy and the democrat people as well as toward the
persecuted and political imprisoned, in particular toward their children, who
have actively participated in the political processes, especially to those
who have intellectual and organizing abilities. This happened also to the
democrat intellectual
Altin Frano Prendi, who was active in the students group since
the beginning, in the first list leaded by the democrat hero Azem Hajdari.
Altin participated in all the protests from Tirana, then in Shkodra, along
with his younger brother Edi, and his father, for his father had suffered 10
years of political imprisonment under the dictatorship. With the victory of
the democracy, Altin entered the University “Luigj Gurakuqi” of Shkodra where
he was graduated on July 29, 1997. He had a political and cultural activity
at the University too. There he founded along with a group of students and
professors the indipendent student’s organization “Konstud”, that was
approved by the court, and Altin was its’ chairman. Altin was also member of
the Albanian Scautist organization “Besa Scaut” since 1993 giving a great
help inthis organization. He was also member of the Democrat Youth Forum of
the city of Shkodra
as well as member of the Democratic Party in Shkodra. Altin’s father suffered
the communist Calvary since a student, being
imprisoned for 10 years, for political motives. As such he was persecuted and
refused all life long by the inhuman system, that
was experienced by his children too, as soon as they grew. This fact was
another motive why Altin hit the eye of the red demons, who
use the democracy as a mask to cover the acts of violence, and not because
they are democrats. They didn’t forget Altin and his activity against them,
mostly during ’90, ’91 and ’97. They began to use fine methods as “masters”
of the earlier security of the dictatorial state, with pressure, threats and
blackmail through masked and non masked people, by night and by day, on the
road or in certain places. Altin won a competition in Tirana for the Pepsi
Enterprise in Shkodra and later on, with a hard work he became the Director
of Pepsi for the North-East Albania, and
held this position until he left. He left somewhere in the West, leaving
alone his father, mother, the sisters and the brother eh loved so much. He
was hated because he worked somuch, although the payment was not according to
the hard work he was doing. His contribution for the democratic processes in Albania is
enormous. One year and a half ago he married Vetëtima Prendi, graduated in
the University “Luigj Gurakuqi” of Shkodra. There they knew each-other and
collaborated in the Youth Forum, the “Konstud” organization and the
Democratic Party. Altin has constantly been a member of the election’s
commissions and has given a special contribution for the Kosovars in Shkodra,
connecting with foreign organizations to obtain aids for the displaced of the
war in Kosovo.
Altin and his wife Vetëtima have left Albania to save their life by the repression
applied by the red mafia in Albania.

A dream to be continued elsewhere…
Apart being a small country
in the middle of Europe, Albania
appeared to be the country of wonders, this because of some things that only
in Albania
have been seen or heard.
A young girl called Anita Viktor Matija, born on September
28, 1983, from the ancient city of Shkodra,
becomes a victim of a system or a certain group of people known as the agents
of the Albanian Intelligence Service, who serve their charlatan principals
with fanatism. As a niece of Broz and Sokol Matija, who died in internment,
Anita seems to continue their sufferings, although in a so-called democratic
system. She as a young, took hold of the democratic ideas, making an example
to her friends, defending the human dignity trampled on for many and many
years of red dictatorship. She constantly participates in the pro democratic
movements, for she had joined the democratic forums of the Albanian
Democratic Party. But this was not pleasant to the red bosses on power, who
decide to eliminate her through certain segments of the security of state.
One day as she was coming back from a meeting with some relatives, a car
without number plate, with closed curtains attempts to strike her, but thanks
God she escaped this as there were many people around. In this time they warn
her to put aside what she was doing (with this they meant to put aside her
involvement with the Democratic Party, and lend a hand to the Security of
State). But she didn’t even think about this. She kept on condemning the
stealth of the free votes and the human liberties trampled on, until the day,
exactly on January 18, 2002, when she is arrested in a meeting and kept for
three days in the prison cells of the police section. People with uniform
rape her there, for she was young and nice, and the forensic scientist also
confirmed this.
In these conditions, this clever and honest young girl,
coming from a persecuted family, is forced to leave her birthplace and
emigrate somewhere abroad, perhaps even knowing not the real meaning of the
emigration. She wants to save her young life and continue her youth dreams
elsewhere, although this was unwanted to her relatives.
I wish I had touched with these few words, the moral of those
who have the power to say their word, so that they might speak out loud. In
this way may these incidents never happen to their friends of the same age of
Anita, and they might speak out loud their mind, when and where they want.

The wounds of the war in Gjakova
We were in Gjakova, in
commission by the journal “Shqipëria Etnike”. The wounds of the war are still
“alive” in Gjakova. The material damages are cannot be compared with the
human loss. The Serbs had burned up the house of Valentin Murati, as well as to many others from Batush of Gjakova. Edmir, Valentin’s
brother and Xhavit, Valentin’s father had joined up the KLA for the
liberation of Kosovo, but the Serbs held Xhavit Murati, the Kosovar warrior,
as a hostage. He was imprisoned, and still today is missing. Valentin’s
brother run off the war as the KLA despised him as a catholic. Valentin
Murati has had serious problems with the Serbs as well as with the KLA. He
was not engaged in the war, as he was too young. The KLA had considered him a
traitor and wanted him shot, in line with the laws of war. This guy had left
Kosovo to go around the world and save his life, for he is still in danger.
This is how this family from Gjakova was divided. There are many cases like
this, and we are going to make them public in the other editions.
