ON THE WIDESPREAD REPRESSION AND HARASSMENT PERPETRATED BY THE
SERBIAN POLICE AND OTHER AUTHORITIES IN KOSOVA FROM 21 APRIL UNTIL
28 APRIL, 1996.
After the Albanian student Armend Selim Daci (1976) was
murdered by the Serb Zlatko Jovanovic on 21 April in Prishtina, 5
killings of Serbs and two bomb explosions followed; in one of these
bomb explosions, an Albanian child was deprived of life, and three
more children were wounded. All these incidents happened "in yet
unknown circumstances", although the media and some Serbian
political parties hurried to blame "the Albanian separatists" and
do not hesitate to call them "terrorists".
On Monday, 22 April around 9 p.m., unknown persons killed in
the cafe "^akor" in De^an with machine-guns the waitress Stana
Radusinovic (48), the guests Blagoje Okulic from the village of
Boleq, and Gjorgje Dragic (39) from Pan^eva, and badly wounded
Branko Bibic, all three of them employees of "Unikop" in Prishtina.
Almost at the same time, near Mitrovica in a police car, Dragana
Neshic (19), a waitress from Prishtina, was killed, the driver
Slobodan Dudic (38), an employee of SIA in Suhareka, was slightly
wounded. At the same time in Shtime, the policeman Milenko Vucic
(24) from the village of Brusi (Serbia), was killed, while nearby
the railway station of Peja, the policemen Safet Kocan (26) from
Peja, and Zoran Dashic (26) from the village of Gorazhdec of Peja
were killed.
On Saturday, 27 April 1996 around 3 a.m., a heavy explosion
happened in the pit of the constructing enterprise owned by Ekrem
Kryeziu from the village of Dushanova near Prizren, on the Prizren
-Gjakova road. Immediately afterwards, the police blocked this
section of the road. From 5 o'clock in the morning, a the siren of
a police car woke up the inhabitants of this village, creating
panic and fear, in particular to the children. For this incident as
well, the Serbian daily newspaper "Jedinstvo" of Prishtina, without
waiting for any official statement, tries to blame it on "Albanian
separatists", admitting that the explosion was aimed at the home of
Slavko Shqekiq whose son is the commander of the local police
station of Prizren.
At the same day, on 27 April, the night of the muslim feast
Kurban Bajram, in the center of Prishitina next to Radio-TV of
Prishtina, which since 1990 is in the hands of the Serbs and
Montenegrins, a big fire broke out and affected 6 private handy-
craft shops of Albanians.
On Saturday evening in the village of Zllopek, district of
Peja, Avdyl and Xhavit Daci's home with all the furniture burnt
down in mysterious circumstances.
On Sunday, 28 April around 6 p.m., four Albanian children were
badly wounded in a bomb explosion in the village of Lum&madh
(Vushtrri), nearby the Prishtina - Mitrovica road. Nexhat Rifat
Hetemi (1984), a 6th grade pupil of the "Migjeni" primary school of
the village of Stanovc i Ep&rm, died on the way to the hospital;
badly wounded were Arsim Sahit Hetemi (8), Fatmir Sahit Hetemi
(13), and Xhavit Ahmet Hetemi (15). The children were putting
cattle to pasture on a meadow near the street, while somebody threw
from a car the explosive, supposed to be a garnet which spread a
very bad smell after the explosion.

Albanian soccer authorities said on
Thursday they planned to modernize three stadiums to allow domestic
clubs to participate in all European competitions.
Soccer association official Gjergj Thaka said stadiums in Tirana,
Durresi and Kavaja would be revamped.
UEFA had asked Albania to modernize one ground for European matches.
Qemal Stafa, the main national stadium in the capital, is already
being renovated for World Cup qualifying matches starting in October.
Thaka said financing the work was a problem as Albanian soccer clubs
could not afford big outlays. Scores of Albanian players have joined
foreign clubs in recent years, dissatisfied with domestic salaries of
$100-$300 a month.

Raport mbi shkeljen e t& drejtave dhe lirive t& njeriut n&
Kosov& gjat& muajit prill 1996
Intensiteti i dhun&s dhe terrorit shtet&ror serb kund&r popullat&s
shqiptare n& Kosov& po vazhdon n& m&nyr&n m& t& eg&r dhe m& brutale. Nj&
val& e till& represioni vazhdoi edhe gjat& prillit 1996. Viktima t& k&tij
represioni ishin Armend Selim Daci (1976), t& cil&n vrau serbi Zllatko
Jovanoviq, m& 21 prill, n& Prishtin&. Pas k&tij akti, pasuan edhe pes&
vrasje dhe pes& plagosje t& qytetar&ve serb&, dy shp&rthime bombash, nga
t& cilat humbi jet&n nj& f&mij& shqiptar e tre t& tjer& u plagos&n. T&
gjitha k&to ngjarje q& ndodh&n n& "rrethana ende t& pasqaruara",
megjith&se mjetet e informimit n& gjuh&n serbe, si edhe m& par&, u ngut&n
t'ua mveshin "terrorist&ve shqiptar&". N& nd&rkoh& policia serbe lidhur
me k&to ngjarje b&ri shum& bastisje, arrestime, e keqtrajtime t&
shqiptar&ve n& shum& komuna: n& De^an, n& Shtime, n& Vushtrri, n&
Suharek&, n& Mitrovic&, n& Pej& n& Gllovc etj. Sipas informatave t&
mbledhura deri m& tash, pas vrasjes s& policit Milenko Vu^i^, m&
23.04.1996, n& Komun&n e Shtimes jan& arrestuar 97 shqiptar& dhe jan&
bastisur mbi 30 sht&pi, jan& d&moluar lokalet e orendit& sht&piake, shum&
persona jan& keqtrajtuar fizikisht n& prani t& an&tar&ve t& familjes dhe
jan& marr& n& polici, jan& shar& e provokuar grat& e jan& tmerruar
f&mij&t. N& shum& raste polic&t jan& k&rc&nuar se "t& gjith& do t'i
d&bojn& n& Shqip&ri", dhe se ata dhe krimineli i njohur Arkan s& shpejti
do t& filloj& edhe "likuidimin fizik t& shqiptar&ve". Nj& num&r i madh i
nx&n&sve dhe i kalimtar&ve t& rastit jan& marr& n& rrug&, autobus a
sht&pi dhe jan& rrahur brutalisht. Bashk&pun&tor&t tan& n& terren i
d&rgojn& informatat me v&rejtje se numri i t& keqtrajtuarve &sht& shum&
m& i madh&, por shum& nga t& keqtrajtuarit kan& frik& t'i lajm&rojn&
rastet e tyre.
Gjat& muajit prill 1996, n& t& gjitha format e dhun&s nga policia dhe
organet e tjera shtet&rore t& Serbis& n& Kosov&, sipas t& dh&nave me t&
cilat i ka KMDLNJ, u keqtrajtuan n& m&nyra t& ndryshme 711 shqiptar&, n&
mesin e t& cil&ve 14 gra e 20 f&mij&.
- arbitrarisht u arrestuan 202;
- penalisht u d&nuan 7 individ&;
- p&r kund&rvajtje u d&nuan 5 veta;
- u bastis&n 102 familje;
- P&r arm& u keqtrajtuan 287 persona;
- fizikisht u torturuan 197 individ&;
- psikikisht u keqtrajtuan 393 persona;
- n& polici u thirr&n, kryesisht p&r arm&, 287 persona;

- n& t& ashtuquajtura "biseda informative" u mor&n 40 veta;
- keqtrajtimeve policore iu n&nshtruan 21 veprimtar& t& partive
politike dhe t& asociacioneve t& tjera.
N& t& nj&jt&n periudh& u sh&nuan 9 raste t& nd&rhyrjes s& policis&
n& institucionet arsimore dhe u keqtrajtuan 22 veprimtar& arsimor& dhe 5
student&.
Gjat& muajit prill 1996, nga banesat e tyre u nxor&n 2 familje
shqiptare, n& t& cilat u vendos&n familje serbe.
Tash nj& muaj mbi 1000 shit&s shqiptar&, t& Tregut t& Pem&ve dhe
Perimeve n& Prishtin&, po b&jn& grev& p&r shkak t& taksave t& larta.
Organet udh&heq&se t& tregut i shtuan taksat mujore nga 320 n& 800 dinar&
p&r nj& tezg&, n& koh&n kur k&to taksa n& Beograd jan& 50-60 e n& Novi-
Sad 86 dinar&.
Vlen t& theksohet se n& Komun&n e Mitrovic&s inspeksioni serb i
tregut, pas shum& kontrollimeve, b&ri 108 padi p&r kund&rvajtje dhe 4
padi p&r delikt ekonomik, gjobiti 124 firma me shum&n e p&rgjithshme
73.000 dinar&, konfiskoi mall me vler& rreth 59 mij& dinar& dhe mbylli
p&rkoh&sisht 37 objekte private.
M& 10 prill, autoritetet serb& filluen t& barten gjith& dokumentacionin
e Bank&s s& Bashkuar dhe e d&rguan n& Fabrik&n e Letr&s n& Lipjan. N&
k&t& bank& kan& qen& ruajtur dokumente me r&nd&si t& zhvillimit ekonomik
e financiar t& Kosov&s n& periudh&n e kaluar 50-vje^are.
Po n& t& nj&jt&n periudh&, Sindikata e Pavarur e Veprimtarive Komunale
Banesore t& Kosov&s b&n me dije se po b&n& shkeljen n& m&nyr& flagrante
planet urbanistike n& Kosov&. Po nd&rtohen lokale, banesa e sht&pi p&r
kolon&, po u jepen troje me q&llim p&rfitimi material ose falas p&r
kolon& serbo-malazez, n& parqe t& qyteteve, n& sip&rfaqe t& gjelbruara,
n& lokacione af&r shesheve, oborreve shkollore, n& lokacionet e parapara
p&r ^erdhe f&mij&sh, n& objektet kulturo-historike etj.

Komun&n e De^anit, jan& duke u nd&rtuar 222 nj&si banesore p&r kolon&t

Peja, Ramadan Krasniqi, Haki Gaxherri, Avdullah Hoti, Kasim
Milaimi, Mexhid Sylejmani and Nadire Beraj.
Reuter Agency had informed before that "11 Albanians are kept
at Belgrade airport and are not allowed to go to their homes
although they are in possession of valid passports". Meanwhile,
Reuter Agency informed that the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights
of Serbia directed a protest to the Belgrade authorities accusing
the Belgrade government for prevention of the legal entry of ethnic
Albanians who are in possession of Yugoslav passports.
FERIZAJ: A Serbian military superior with another person shot with

24, was summoned again to the security centre of Ferizaj.
PRIZREN: More than 15 policemen raided for weapons the home of
Sylejman Mazrreku, "Ismajl Qemajli" str., in the village of
Dushanova, demolished the furniture, interrogated his wife and the
children about weapons and left a summons for Sylejman to report to
the police.
MITROVICA: The police beat at their working place the employees of
"Elektrokosova" Esat Isa Pula (47) and Halil Meholli (44), on the
pretext that they had turned down the lights on 26 April at 9 p.m.,
as a sign of commemoration for the student Armend Daci, killed in
the street by Zlatko Jovanovic. Esat and Halil were not at work
that night.
The police stopped in the street Bajram Jetish Ferizi (55)
from the village of V&rnica, who was driving by tractor together
with his wife Shefkie (50), and his daughters Selvije (25) and
Bukurije (12) to see a friend. He was ordered to let 30 dinars in
a cafe near there. When they returned, the police stopped Bajram
again and asked from him to pay again the "fine". As he refused,
the police took him to the police station of Sheshi i Vjet&r
(Stari-T&rg), and meanwhile, Bukurije fainted on the tractor.
Afterwards, the police arrested Bajram and kept him for two hours
at the police station, in order to make him tell to whom he gave 30
dinars.

primary school in the village of Sallagrazhda Bajram Sopaj was
taken to the police station for the third time; as before, the

threatened the principal that he will be taken to court.

Serbs with a rifle and taken from his working place by force. Later
on, Shefki was interrogated at the Serbian state security centres
in Podujeva and Obiliq.
Valon Maqedonci, a skillful worker and owner of a private shop
in Podujeva, was arrested by the police of Podujeva and brought to
Prishtina, where Serbian inspectors "tested" him for two hours what
kind of weapons he possesses, in which terrorist organization he
is, where he was for military drills, etc.
ISTOG: Qerim Demaj, former commander of the local police station in
Istog, who returned yesterday from Switzerland where he was
temporarily, was taken today by the Serbian security authorities
and was interrogated about "the functioning of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs of Kosova" for 5 hours.
The Serbian state security inspectors of Peja arrested at his
home Florim Mehaj from the village of Dubova e Vog&l (Istog) and
threatened in front of his family members that he will be kept as
a hostage, until his brother Beslim Mehanaj will report, for whom
it is supposed that he was sheltered in Croatia a long time ago.
April 30th,
BUJANOVC: At the district court, the trial of Sevdai Hyseni, author
