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.
On the way
