His return might result dangerous to him
Even
after democracy came on March 22, 1992, Edison’s family and him, gave their
contribution in the activities of the anticommunists in Shkodra,
as one of the most anticommunist and persecuted cities of Eastern Europe,
where there have been hundreds and thousands shot, wounded, interned and
ill-treated in the communist jails. This too is proven by the document
released by the Forum for Human Rights Against Police Violence, (Prot. Nr. Extra,
of April 25, 2005). Amongst all, this proves also that Edison, because of his
anticommunist activity, was persecuted by neo-communists, after their return
on power through the armed rebellion in 1997. The same document proves that
Edison’s life is in danger in Albania, because of the communist clique. Edison
has embraced the pure democratic ideals, by becoming a member of the Youth
Forum of the Demo Christian Party (DCP) of Shkodra
in 2002, being active in all the activities of the DCP after that year. This
is also proven by the document with Prot. Nr. Extra of February 15, 2005,
released by the DCP branch of Shkodra, where it is
highlighted the contribution of Edison during the elections’ campaigns, also
as a member of the leadership of the Youth Forum of DCP. This document proves
also that Edison’s life has become impossible in Albania because of the
revenge of the collaborators of the Prime Minister Fatos
Nano. These are all proven by the document of the Nationwide Reconciliation
Mission “Nënë Tereza”, in
Tirana, where it is emphasized that his return might result dangerous for his
life. Besides the great persecution, Edison was also a victim of police
violence, by people in military uniform. The physician proved this on March
23, 2004, giving the respective document. For all
these motives, the return of Edison Çuni in his
birth country is seriously dangerous to him, as a descendant of one of the
most persecuted families in Albania, being so target of the new communists on
power since the armed revolution of 1997. Sokol Pepushaj The last political gambling We, as analysts of occidental Medias have seen
pictures of “brandishing swords”, in Tirana, but mostly in North and South
Albania, as well as finalization of the end moral end through the philosophy of
economical crime to the simple elector. Politics
is doing its last gambling. It seems less than logical when you see the
facades of the walls, windows of bars, and also trees covered by serious and
smiley pictures of those posing, whom every one
knows deeply in his conscience as inappropriate politicians. Many candidates
look like the taskmasters of Enver’s time: starchy,
moving hands and legs to make works on the road finish in a few hours, as
they have to do some other works on other roads! This means to ensure the
extension of the itinerary of transition in Albania as well as the life of
the power of crime. Right in the midst of all this confusion, the Minister of
Justice, Fatmir Xhafaj,
gets an unexpected buffet by the US Department. We hope some of the
businessmen, now candidates, might face justice after July 3. No
political miracle might take place buying votes. The Albanian voter is
learning to take the money of the candidates who give money for votes,
without voting them. July 3 is
near. The electorate understands that every great enthusiasm results in great
loss. To believe that ignorant people might be able for everything, even for
deputies, brings nothing but fume or dirty waters that become pure the day of
elections. Experiences that form a pillow of human society challenge senses
and disorders of the moment for campaigns like this that give a few money
today in order to get much more tomorrow, even your own freedom. However,
what is unacceptable to Albanians is acceptable to politics and politicians. The third
of July is either a fortunate day or a curse day for the existence of the
poor and middle Albanian society. Sokol Pepushaj
Vahid Bajraku,
victim of a violent State
We
brought this problem to show that Vahid Bajraku, likewise many other opponents of the violent
power, won’t be present the day of elections on July 3rd, for he
left Albania to escape death, but also to give a message: to be careful
during the elections, for the party on power chose for candidates many people
who manage dirty business, and even wanted by occidental countries, according
to the leader of opposition, Sali Berisha. Albert Vataj Electricity is the cause of many
incidents in Albania
Zef Nika NIS is back
against the family Lumaj These last
days, when the campaign for parliamentary elections in Albania, is getting
very hot, especially between the Democratic Party and the Socialist Party,
this last one, the SP, is turning back to its most powerful tool, NIS
(National Intelligence Service). Right
yesterday, on June 13, 2005, at about 3 a.m., NIS undertook a new attack
against the anticommunist and powerful families of Malësi e Madhe. The
families Lumaj, Kalaj, Kaçaj and Dakaj were amongst them. The
family Lumaj was surrounded by many agents and when these left, 13 members of
this family were arrested for political motives. This
is not the first time the NIS arrests members of the family Lumaj. Thus,
during the parliamentary elections of June 24, 2001, Gjeto Lumaj was
arrested, while in 2004 was arrested Prelë Lumaj. This
time they arrested again Gjeto Lumaj, the head of this family, who had come
back home for the parliamentary elections of July 3, 2005. He was living
hidden for a long time before his return home. Sokol Pepushaj Albania, a little country of big crimes
On March
31, 1994, Kreshnik Osmani
became member of the Association “2 Prilli”. On
January 11, 1995, he was admitted in the Anticommunist Political Association
“13 Dhjetori 1990”. He was involved in political
activities and meetings in South, more than in North Albania. The South of
Albania, as the area bastion of communist, for Kreshnik
Osmani and others was the area where there were
many meetings with councils of various organizations in Korça,
Pogradec, Vlorë, Memaliaj, Gjirokastër, Tepelenë, in the villages of Dropull,
Patos, Fier, Lushnje and Berat. Those
meetings had two purposes: Firstly, to bring there
patriotic ideals, and secondly, the exchange of experiences with democratic
forces in those cities. These activities were organized separately by those
two associations, but sometimes even together. Shkodra, as the main center of North Albania, center of
culture and anticommunism in Albania, was a victim since 1944, but an unseen
inhuman persecution started after 1997, when the social-communists, still on
power, usurped the power. Kreshnik’s uncle had a successful business from 1992
until 1997. The flour business of this family, centered in Shkodra, was also extended in Durrës
and Fushë Krujë. In March
1997 was destroyed everything. The gangs of Fatos
Nano in Durrës broke and then burned the
storehouses of flour. On March 17, 1997, Kreshnik
leaves Shkodra to go and spare the flour
storehouses in Fushë Krujë,
but there was taken forcedly and sent to the Police Station of Krujë. After 3 hours, one of the officers asked him why
he hadn’t freed the storehouse. After he was set free, the storehouse was
broken and burned even there. He turned back to Shkodra
hiding carefully, for he could be killed on his way home. As a
member of the DP since 1995, he was active in the parliamentary and local
elections. On September 14, 1998, the day of funeral of Azem
Hajdari, he was arrested in front of the National
TV seat, by two police officers, who sent him at the Police Station N.3 in
Tirana, where he was beaten after political interrogation. On
October 20, 1998, he was called at the Police Station of Shkodra,
and during the interrogation was beaten on the head, resulting in fractures
of the back part of it, and heavy wounds at the left part, so then
hospitalized. In 1997,
he entered the University “Luigj Gurakuqi”, and as a student he was distinguished in
propagating democratic ideas. During the parliamentary elections of June 24,
2001, he showed great political maturity, while calling people to rise
against communism. On September 15, 2002, he was sent from the leader of the
DP in Shkodra, to go to Bajram
Curri, for political activities. In Tropoja, he met Azgan Haklaj and other members of the DP council. On his way
back, on September 17, 2002, two police officers stopped Kreshnik
and his friend near Puka and sent them at the
Police Station of Puka. They were separated and
asked about their political activity, then suffered tortures. On September
20, they were both set free. On
October 2002, the democrat Kreshnik Osmani came to know Manjola Ndue Zojza, activist and member
of the DP since 2001. Manjola was born in an
anticommunist family, and many times had problems with the police as a member
of the Students’ Union of the University “Luigj Gurakuqi”. On April 2, 1992, the Students’ Union organized
a memorial meeting to honor the martyrs of April 2, 1991, Bujar
Bishanaku, Nazmi Kryeziu, Besnik Ceka and Arben Broci. Manjola was arrested
that evening, interrogated, beaten and then set free on April 8, 2002. She
was arrested even in Koplik on October 2002, where
she was beaten and suffered psychological pressure. The night
of November 30, 2002, Kreshnik was arrested in the
house of Manjola. At 800 PM they were
arrested, interrogated and tortured, because two days ago, on November 28,
they were present celebrating this anniversary. Kreshnik
was out on December 3, after many tortures, yet he didn’t know what happened
to Manjola, now his fiancée. After a while he knew
she was out the night they were arrested, after 3 hours of tortures, while
the investigator had used pressure on her, not only about her political
activity, but also to make her leave Kreshnik Osmani, as they belonged to different religions.
Religious conflicts led by politics, are a phenomenon in the Albanian
society. However, Kreshnik and Manjola
were in love now. On December 25, 2003, the night of Christmas, they were at
the Church of Arra e Madhe.
Someone had told the boy to leave. The front wheels of the car were daggered
and the front glass was broken. There was a letter: “Do not come at church
anymore …” From April 11 until April 14, 2003, Manjola was kept at the Police Station, with the banal
accusation that the Prime Minister Fatos Nano was
insulted. Kreshnik was called at the Police Station
two days later, on April 16, 2003. After about 6 hours of interrogation, the
investigator said to Kreshnik: “How is it that you
Muslims decided to marry Catholic girls? This coupling is not going to last”.
After that, he commanded the policemen to hit him with rubber sticks. Menaces
were continuous. On August 5, 2003, while coming home from Berdica, a village about 6 km from Shkodra,
Kreshnik and Manjola were
beaten with wooden staff by three guys, who also pierced their bikes. Since
then they had to stay hidden for a while. In the occasion of Easter Day of
2004, they decided to go at the Cathedral Church. On the “3 Heronjtë” Road, they were stopped by two guys holding
guns, who took them in a black Mercedes, and brought them outside the town,
in the village Boks, where they were beaten and
menaced to be killed if seen anymore together, and then they’re left there
unconscious. Having taken consciousness, they didn’t know where they were, as
it had become night. Seeing a light, they’ve walked for 25 minutes until they
reached a house. For their fortune they were sheltered and cured that night
there and the next day they went back home. Finding their life in serious
danger, they decided to go abroad, maybe with the intention of a never return
in Albania, the little country of big crimes. Rifat Ymeri Fear
rules everywhere Albania
looks like a country of fear today. We’re heading for the elections of July 3
with increasing corruption and crime, with violence and revenge of political
background. The activists of the “little” parties in opposition are attacked
the most. Explosive was placed in the early morning of April 10, 2005, at the
house of the member of the Legality Movement Party, Sedat Kraja, in the “Salo
Halili” district. The explosion caused great damages, but fortunately there
were no victims, while his parents were sleeping in their bedroom. They
tell the horror experienced, and according to our investigation the
occurrence had political motives. On April 25, 2004, Sedat Kraja, as a member
of the Legality Movement Party, had been in a protest organized in Tirana by
the Parliament Seat, and was arrested and kept in the prison-cell for almost
one month. Later on, in June 2004, he had left Albania along with his family,
in order to save their lives, after many threats. The period of elections
however is being used to eliminate physically those in opposition to the
power of violence. Sedat Kraja is one of those in opposition who fortunately
left. Vasel Gilaj The ground Property :Another murderer in Malesi e Madhe After the
year 1990 ,as soon as the democratic processes began in Albania ,one of
the most fundamental processes was
that of property .This ,as result of the 45 years of confiscation of the legal
proprietors by the ex-communist regime, becoming everyone “ equal “.But even
nowadays this question has not been solved yet .These kind of problems is
growing deeper and deeper ,especially
the agricultural surfaces ,soils ,particularly in villages and communes
.Cause of this conflict where are
registered thousands of murderers is
the disreputable law 7501 ,which instead to solute the property conflicts
complicate them most. This Law
,almost being criticized by too many
International organisms ,still goes on being in power and the Albanian
Parliament do not have intention to change it .So ,the properties questions ,are stimulating violently the medieval assassinations
phenomena ,of families isolation ,conflicts that are regressing
Albania . A few days
ago ,on June 1 ,was registered another assassination as result of property
conflicts :Gjin Narkaj from Kastrat ,murdered his co native Fran Lulati .The
grave situation happened in Lagja “ Ndrecaj of Bajze ,Commune of Kastrat in M.Madhe .This
was enough to make the vengeance phenomena assume power from
the very beginning as happens usually in these areas ,including the entire family
of Gjin Narkaj ,his brothers ,nephews ,cousins .So ,Nikoll Narkaj born on May
8,1961 ,born in Vukpalaj of Kastrat ,brother of the executor Gjin was obligate to live in total illegality .Menaced on his
life, and of the lives of his familiars he live isolated and in full
illegality .The same bad luck follow
his brother Luigj Narkaj and
his family .The relatives of the victim Fran Lulati as according to the
tradition asks for blood vengeance .So
the murderer of the last days make not
only Gjin Narkaj which killed Fran Lulati ,but even his brothers
isolate themselves and their families ,or to live in illegality ,no
–one knows their addresses. Since that
day and on ,the families Narkaj and Lulati are in opened conflict ,which
started as result of properties and
now aggravated by the blood vengeance conflict .All the males of the family
Narkaj wherever they can meet the
relatives of the family Lulati
should be aimed to be
killed .This is the principal rule of
the Canon of Leke Dukagjini ,unfortunately
more powerful in the rural
zones as that of Dukagjini and
M.Madhe. So ,a
murderer happens and its end it is not known .As in too many other cases even this can extract many innocent lives. Vasel Gilaj |
