The AHC’s main mission is the observation of respect for
the freedoms and rights of citizens and the reaction to
violations for the purpose of their reinstatement;
sensitising citizens about the protection of their
freedoms and rights; improving legislation and the
practice of law enforcement through opponence and
recommendations in the phases of the drafting of laws as
well as of their enforcement.
In
the city of Durres on January 27 a journalist of the newspaper
"Zeri i Popullit" (of the Socialist Party in power) was
submitted to use of violence. This incident is all the more serious
that the author is a high official of the Durres Municipality,
member of the Council of the Municipality. The motive for such
maltreatment was the remarks made by the journalist to the address
of the Department of the Public Service of the Municipality.
The
AHC joined the protest of the Association of journalists in Durres,
which condemned the violence used against the journalist considering
it not only as an isolated personal case, but also as an attack
against freedom of press.
