AHC ‘s Main Motto- A country where law rules and human rights are observed

 

A shameful and tendentious attack against the human rights activist and defender of rule of law principles in Albania

 

03.06.2008

One of the daily newspapers, for several days now, has been attacking in a tendentious way one of Albania's human rights activists and defender of the principles of the rule of law, Mr. Niazi Jaho. The presented claims are untrue, a distortion of reality, and intentional. Mr. Jaho is a member of the Albanian Helsinki Committee since 1995. A jurist by profession, he has had and has the civil courage to defend human rights and freedoms; he is a researcher and critic of Albanian legislation and issues of constitutionality in Albania.

 

Prevent violence in stadiums 

 

On May 11, 2008, at the stadium of Gjirokastėr, the football match between the teams of Delvinė and Sarandė was held. After the Delvinė team scored a goal, players walked to a net in front of the stadium steps to celebrate with their fans. At that moment, police intervened violently and, as a result, 3 persons were wounded. Two of those are still in hospital.
