The family of Martin Cani, the 14-year-old who was killed by his peer at the “Fan Noli” school in the capital, has reacted after the closure of Tik Tok, as one of the measures taken by the government to prevent violence among young people. In a statement distributed to the media, the Cani family accuses that the murder of their son is being used for political purposes. According to the minor’s family, Martini did not have an account on TikTok and was not killed by TikTok. According to them, Martini was killed by his peer, the education system and the health system and the government is seeking to shift attention and avoid its real responsibility.
"The Cani family condemns the use of Martin Cani's murder for political purposes! We, the family of Martin Cani, have followed with deep pain and indignation the way our tragedy is being used for political purposes and to justify the government's decision to close the social network TikTok.
We want to say it clearly and publicly: Martini did not have a TikTok account and Martini was not killed by TikTok! Martini was killed by a knife wielded by a peer. Martini was killed by an education system that lacks safety measures in schools, where educational and law enforcement institutions do not take measures to prevent violence. He was killed because the parents were not notified by the school about Friday's incident, having no way to prevent the tragedy. Martini was killed by a health system where the emergency room sends him to the most distant hospital, due to an absurd protocol, even though the QSUT was only 3 minutes away. Martini was killed because the Trauma Hospital lacks a cardiac surgeon and the specialized Extracorporeal Circulation Machine for heart repair.
The family emphasizes that their son is being killed again due to the lack of justice and the irresponsibility of institutions, as justice for him has not been served. According to them
"Meanwhile, what is killing Martin for the second time is the lack of justice and the irresponsibility of institutions! Justice for Martin has not yet been served, and our family will not stop demanding that this murder not be passed over in silence. We do not accept that Martin's name be used to justify political decisions that have nothing to do with his murder. Instead of taking measures to increase security in schools, to strengthen the education and awareness of young people, to prevent other tragic cases, the government is seeking to shift attention and avoid its real responsibility."
They call on institutions to do justice and not to use Martin's name as an excuse for decisions that do not address the true causes of this tragedy!
"We demand JUSTICE FOR MARTIN! We demand that institutions stop using Martin's murder as an excuse for decisions that do not address the true causes of this tragedy! Martin was a good boy, a footballer with dreams, a child who deserved to live. Let's not kill him a second time with hypocrisy and political manipulation ," the Cani family statement said.
