Blushi: Meta's criminal kidnapping, incomparable even to Navalny's in Russia
The Secretary General of the PL, Tedi Blushi, has reacted regarding the political and unprecedented arrest of the leader of the PL, Ilir Meta.
'The criminal kidnapping of Meta, incomparable even to that of Navalny in Russia. We demand an international investigation,' Blushi stressed in a statement to the media.
Statement by the Secretary General of the PL, Tedi Blushi:
The Freedom Party condemns with the greatest determination the state political terrorist act of the Narco-Government, which misuses the justice institutions as a weapon against its political opponents, continuing to keep its leader, President Ilir Meta, in extreme isolation, without facts and without criminal evidence, with repressive measures that increase every day.
Today, in Albania, a candidate country for membership in the European family, under the eyes of the EU and with the shameful silence of part of the judiciary, a savage scenario is being repeated against the opposition, aiming to install a functional autocracy.
The farcical criminal process against the President of the Freedom Party was sealed with his criminal kidnapping, on October 21, 2024, in broad daylight, by masked and heavily armed paramilitary forces, without any legal identification or court decision, and without any arrest warrant.
This was not an arrest – this was a purely political and unprecedented kidnapping in a country that claims to be a democracy and a candidate for membership in the European Union.
The treatment of the former President of the Republic, dragged away, raped in public and held in degrading conditions, represents one of the most flagrant violations of human dignity and the fundamental principles of the rule of law in Albania.
There is no longer any doubt: the criminal kidnapping of Ilir Meta is politically motivated, criminally orchestrated by a regime that is trying to eliminate the opposition and silence any critical voice before and after the parliamentary elections of May 11, 2025.
Unfortunately, the way this operation was executed has crossed every imaginable limit.
Not even authoritarian regimes have allowed themselves such acts. Not even Vladimir Putin's regime has arrested Alexei Navalny in this way, in such a brutal, barbaric and vile manner.
On the contrary, as you can easily see, Putin's authoritarian regime was apparently careful to arrest Navalny with regular, identified police forces, who presented him with a restraining order, allowed him the right to speak to the media and meet his wife, and escorted him away without violence, without being dragged away, in other words, formally with regular procedures.
Ndryshe nga rasti Navalny, autoritetet shqiptare nuk kanë bërë asnjë përpjekje formale për të justifikuar masat ekstreme të përdorura, nuk kanë vërtetuar asnjë rrezik të pretenduar nga z. Meta, nuk kanë respektuar as të drejtat procedurale minimale, nuk kanë komunikuar vendim gjykate, nuk kanë dhënë asnjë sqarim ligjor, nuk i kanë dhënë të drejtën të kontaktojë avokatin.
Çdo element i këtij “operacioni” është shkelje e hapur e nenit 25 të Kushtetutës dhe nenit 3 dhe 5 të Konventës Evropiane për të Drejtat e Njeriut.
Ndërkohë për çështjen Navalnyy etj. kundër Rusisë, GJEDNJ u shpreh: “…se Gjykatat vendase nuk kishin bërë asnjë përpjekje, për të verifikuar masën e rrezikut, që përbënin aplikuesit, nëse ishte e nevojshme, për t’i ndaluar ata; Edhe nëse prezumohet, që aplikuesit nuk i ishin bindur urdhrit për ndalim, nuk kishte arsye për t’i arrestuar ata. Masat shtrënguese të marra kishin një potencial serioz, për të penguar mbështetësit opozitarë, në marrjen pjesë, në përgjithësi, në debatin e hapur politik. Efekti pengues i këtyre sanksioneve ishte fuqizuar më tej, nga fakti që ato kishin, si objektiv figura të njohura publike, heqja e lirisë së të cilëve, kishte tërhequr vëmendje të gjerë të mediave. Kështu, ndërhyrja nuk ishte e nevojshme, në një shoqëri demokratike. Ka shkelje të nenit 5 të KEDNJ, edhe në lidhje me shoqërimin e panevojshëm, në rajonin e policisë dhe mungesën e shkaqeve, për ndalimin e tyre”.
Imagjinoni se çfarë damke të zezë do t’i vendosë Shqipërisë, Gjykata e Strasburgut lidhur me rrëmbimin terrorist dhe trajtimin çnjerëzor që Narkopolicia e Edi Ramës i bëri Presidentit të Partisë së Lirisë.
Skandaloz dhe kriminal është gjithashtu fakti se asnjë masë, qoftë edhe më miminale disiplinore nuk u ndërmorr ndaj kapuçonëve maskëzinj që rrëmbyen Presidentin e Partisë së Lirisë, të cilët përkundrazi u graduan siç ishte rasti i Vilson Balës, që u “gradua” drejtor i Policisë së Durrësit.
Më kriminale është edhe fakti që drejtësia me regji nuk nisi asnjë hetim për rrëmbimin e Presidentit Meta edhe pse Narkodrejtori i Policisë së Shtetit, Ilir Proda ka mashtruar publikisht duke pretenduar se Presidentit të Partisë së Lirisë në momentin e ndalimit iu komunikua urdhër-arresti, ç’ka është fund e krye një mashtrim dhe falsifikim, sepse kjo ka ndodhur në ambientet e Drejtorisë së Tiranës disa orë pasi rrëmbimi i Z. Meta ishte bërë fakt.
SPAK dhe afërmendsh gjykatat e kapura dhe të vendosura nën shantazhin e përgjimeve nga Altin Dumani, mbyllën sytë dhe askush sot nuk mban përgjegjësi ligjore për këtë akt kaq të rëndë.
Pra rrëmbimi kriminal, hetimi kriminal dhe izolimi kriminal i Presidentit Meta nuk është asgjë tjetër veçse një akt terrori shtetëror politik i një qeverie të kapur, që përdor institucionet e drejtësisë si armë kundër kundërshtarëve të saj, si përpjekje për ta
Është një përpjekje e dëshpëruar për të imponuar heshtjen përmes frikës. Është një sinjal i qartë se pushteti në Shqipëri ka kaluar nga demokracia formale në autokraci funksionale.
The arrest warrant for Ilir Meta has not been issued.
The Freedom Party firmly demands:
Urgent intervention by the Constitutional Court to ascertain the flagrant violations of the fundamental rights of citizen Ilir Meta and to restore legality in the country by ending the absurd, criminal and political measure of imprisonment for the President of the Freedom Party;
An independent international investigation into the criminal manner of the arrest and those responsible for this political kidnapping;
Immediate reaction from international institutions, especially the Council of Europe and the European Union, to this dangerous precedent for democracy in Albania.
We will not be silent. We will not be afraid. We will not stop.
This is a battle for democracy, for human dignity, for the freedom of all Albanians and for the European future of Albania, and on their behalf we will continue to dismantle all political accusations of this criminal and political process, in Tirana and in Strasbourg.
