Today marks 13 years since the event of January 21, 2011, where 4 opposition protesters were killed by the weapons of state employees: Aleks Nika, Ziver Veizi, Hekuran Deda and Faik Myrtaj on the "Dëshmorët e Kombit" Boulevard.
The families of the 4 victims still do not find peace. Eyes and calls are directed to SPAK to put in place the denied justice so that the orderers and enforcers receive the deserved punishment.
Even the European Court of Human Rights, in the decision of November 14, 2023 for Aleks Nika, one of the killed protesters, argues that in the investigation of the events of January 21, 2011, there were numerous shortcomings, which raise doubts that the authorities had tried to deviate or interfere unfairly.
In the meantime, the full decision unanimously taken by the 7 judges has been published, which requires the case to be reopened and to pave the way for the missing investigation for the chain of command and not only.
"The Court concluded that the national authorities failed to seriously and adequately pursue several key lines of inquiry regarding the nature of any orders given by persons in the chain of command during the events, including but not limited to the lethal use of firearms and the possibility that the demonstrators were directly targeted by the armed personnel", it is written on page 19 of the decision.
Unlike the other three victims who were shot near the prime minister's office, Alex Nika was on the other side of the boulevard, when a bullet fatally shot him in the head.
In the 32-page decision, among other things, the court gives an answer to the Guard's claim that they only fired into the air as a warning.
“….It is difficult to imagine that shots in the air at a careful angle could have hit the victim standing at street level in the head, even as a result of a ricochet…. It is unclear why the expertise was not performed at the right time and on the victim's own body and not based on previous reports" , it is written, among other things, on page 28 of the decision.
The court assesses that the investigation has not been effective in that it could lead to the identification and punishment of those responsible for the alleged events and to the determination of the truth.
"...The other path of necessary correction consists of the obligation of the state to carry out an effective investigation that can lead to the identification and punishment of the persons responsible ", is written on page 21 of the decision.
13 years have passed since Rajmonda, Alex's wife, and his two daughters, Amelia and Nertila, who were then only 2 years and 5 months old, now 15 and 13 years old, want to know: Who gave the order and who fired the bullet that took the life of their father, Alex? Their eyes are on SPAK.
Meanwhile, yesterday the Kosovar journalist Flamur Vezaj published footage recorded on January 21, 2011 from the security camera located on the terrace of the prime minister's office.
These images have captured many events since the start of the protests, violence against the police, burnings, breaking the security perimeter, opening the eporta of the prime minister, the killing of the protester Ziver Veizi. And then the murder of Hekuran Deda. While this camera did not record the murder of Faik Myrta and Aleks Nika.
As can be seen in the video, Veizi is in front of the prime minister, unarmed and with his hands in his pockets. Just a few seconds after opening the gate of the prime minister, he was shot directly in the chest.
"From the footage, it appears that the doors were open and the bullet did not ricochet as the ministry's experts said in court as witnesses.
From this angle and from other images published in the media, it is clear that the field of view of the guard, Agim Llupo, has no object before the bullet ricochets. What refutes the version held by the police experts in court to lighten the measure of the defendant's punishment. As can be seen after the shot, people gather around Veiz to help him, but that bullet was deadly.
Agim Llupo pleaded guilty to this murder, but with a ridiculous sentence of 3 years under the charge of manslaughter. Murder that, as you can see from the camera, is not due to carelessness, but direct murder.
The moment of the murder was recorded by the camera at 5:1 minute and 48 seconds that afternoon. Just a few minutes later, Hekuran Deda also fell to the ground from the scaffolding of a national television, after taking a bullet to the head.
During the judicial process, the experts failed to establish who was the author of the murder of Hekuran Deda, even though the prosecution accused Agim Llupo. And so the court stated that in the sentencing decision of Llupo there is no evidence as to who is the author of Deda's murder, returning the file for re-investigation to the Prosecutor's Office, which to this day fails to provide concrete evidence. Due to the lack of evidence, the murder of Aleks Nika also remained without a perpetrator.
Although 14 cartridges fired from the gun of the guard commander Ndrea Prendi were found at the scene, whose stories were then manipulated, changing the needle of the hundreds of cartridges used by the guards that day," Vezaj said.
