A group of people protested this Thursday in front of SPAK, demanding the reopening of the investigation against Greek MEP Alfred Beleri, in connection with the Peshkëpi massacre, which took place on April 10, 1994 near the border with Greece.
"We are first and foremost Albanians, people who are hurt by our nation. We are people who are interested in justice being served in the country. There are also soldiers here who were in the Peshkëpi massacre in 1994, where two Albanian soldiers were killed. We demand that Fredi Beleri, because he was, because the Greek media published it, he was a participant, he was caught with a gun, today he is an MEP in the European Parliament, we want justice. Because it is a shame to offend our nation first and foremost, the nation that has contributed to Europe, with Skanderbeg, with Mother Teresa. We should not have a man like him representing us because he unintentionally lowers the dignity of our nation, we are hurt, all our compatriots and the soldiers who were part of that massacre that was committed by the Greek state are hurt. The investigations should be reopened. The investigations will be opened thanks to the Americans who perhaps feel a little sorry for us, because what can we expect from Europe, because Europe made him an MEP", said one of the protest participants.
When 30 years have passed since this event, the Albanian authorities have failed to find and punish the perpetrators of the serious crime, in which the guard and the commander of the Peshkëpi unit were killed and four other soldiers were injured.
Beleri was also questioned about this event in May 2019, when the Serious Crimes Prosecution reopened the "Peshkëpi Massacre" file.
The investigations were led at the time by the Serious Crimes Prosecutor, Eugen Beci, and in his presence and in the presence of two Judicial Police officers, Beleri was questioned for three hours, and was then charged with "committing terrorist activities and activities."
The Peshkëpisa Border Post in Gjirokastra faced an attack by Greek aggressors in April 1994, who, after killing the guard, soldier Arsen Gjini, and the unit commander, First Captain Fatmir Shehu, wounded other officers and robbed all the weapons in the retreat. (A2 Televizion)
