As we are one week away from the commemoration of the tragic event of January 21, where 4 protesters were killed on the boulevard, the memorial plaque of the late Hekuran Deda has been stolen.
It is journalist Artan Hoxha who has published the photos, showing that the bronze plaque is no longer there. On the Boulevard, 4 bronze plaques were placed in honor of the 4 victims, but it seems that someone has taken one of them.

Well, you ain't seen nothing yet...
They stole Hekurani (Deda), in the middle of the boulevard and in front of the guards guarding the prime minister.
In fact, they had also stolen Faiku (Myrto), from the other sidewalk of the boulevard, opposite the prime minister's office. But Faiku, the municipality employees, replaced him in time, although not in the same dimensions as the original commemorative plaque.
In fact, these are commemorative plaques in honor of the 4 "Martyrs of the Homeland" protesters, shot without trial by state weapons during the protest of January 21, 2011.
Ironically, in the nearly century-long history of the "Martyrs of the Nation" boulevard, protesters Ziver Veizi, Hekuran Deda, Faik Myrto, and Aleks Nika are the only Martyrs on that boulevard.
In memory of the 4 "Martyrs", four bronze memorial plaques were placed at the places where they were killed.
In a few days, it will be 14 years since the bloodiest protest in Albania, but Albanian justice has still not delivered justice.
The perpetrators, orderers, organizers, and those who destroyed evidence or obstructed investigations continue to go unpunished.
Meanwhile, the direct beneficiary of that massacre, the man who came to power with the promise that he would do justice at any cost, continues to be in power for three consecutive terms, for 12 consecutive years, but without ever keeping his promise.
Today I walked down the boulevard wondering if the beneficiaries of January 21, 2011, have remembered that the date of the next memorial ceremony is approaching and what they are preparing to justify themselves to the victims' families.
I was actually not disappointed.
They had begun preparing the place where the prime minister would kneel again and place red carnations.
Every time I walk down the boulevard, I'm careful not to step on the bronze memorial plaques, which have no names. Every now and then I look at them to see if anything has happened to them.
In fact, a few years ago, when the municipality built the bike lanes, the bronze plaques of the 4 "Martyrs" of the "Homeland" were shortened and cut so as not to spoil the aesthetics of the municipality's innovative project.
Today at noon, when municipality workers were cleaning the site where the next ceremony will take place, they found that the bronze memorial plaque at the site where Hekuran Deda was killed had been stolen.
It seems incredible that on the country's main boulevard, covered in every corner by cameras, right in front of the main door of the prime minister's office, where the Republican Guard stands guard every day, the commemorative plaque was stolen.
For the municipality employees, this was not any special news, as they told me that the bronze plaques had been stolen before, but they had replaced them.
I don't know if this time, they will manage to redo the Hekuran Deda poster in time. The order was strict. When the prime minister appears on the morning of January 21, 2025, to kneel, the commemorative poster must be there in tatters.
While we expect this prime minister and this government, as the direct beneficiary of January 21, 2011, to keep their promise to punish the perpetrators of the murders of the 4 "Martyrs of the Homeland", they also steal the 4 commemorative plaques in the middle of the boulevard for scrap...
