In the first session of the foundation, lawyer Kujtim Cakrani reiterates before the court the request to remove Ilir Meta from the glass cage.
Lawyer Kujtim Cakrani argued in high tones with the judge of the hearing.
Cakrani: This mosque and the cabin here have no legal basis, I know the answer that the request will be rejected, but for our shame in 2026 he is kept in isolation, only ISIS shamed people like this more publicly. Shame on the new justice system. The President of the Republic does not pose a threat to the court. There is a decision in France but they refer to terrorism. Stand up for human dignity, get out of the cage, bring him to the lawyer Mr. Meta. The minimum thing.
Special Judge Etleva Deda responded by saying that despite Meta's placement in a glass cage, he is guaranteed all rights.
Judge Etleva Deda : The law guarantees the presence, the right to speak, the defense, the opportunity to consult with the defense in confidential conditions, even in a glass booth. The booth meets all the conditions for the above, the defendant is guaranteed all the rights provided for in the law.
Cakrani: Only ISIS humiliated people like this. This kind of treatment is to the shame of everyone, to the shame of the new justice system. I know you will reject it, but I want you to argue how. I cannot talk to the president as long as I am separated by glass. We are not equal like this. Just as I have a well-founded request, I also want your decision to be well-founded. In halls like this, Nexhmie Hoxha and Ramiz Alia were tried as criminals. And yet they were not like that. They were treated with more dignity.
Former President Ilir Meta appeared in the glass cage in the GJKKO courtroom, as he greeted the public with two fingers up.
In this process, Meta and Kryemadhi are facing charges of "corruption", "money laundering" and "concealing and failing to declare assets".
Ashtu e pafshim gjithe qeverine!
