“I am a political prisoner”, Salianji before arrest: I will continue the denunciations

Democratic MP, Ervin Salianji, the last conference with journalists at the headquarters of the Democratic Party, awaiting his arrest, after the appeal upheld the sentence of 1 year in prison, for the “Babale” case.

Salianji declared that he is a political convict and that he will go to prison as an opposition politician, not as a false accuser. He underlined that he will continue the denunciations from prison.

“How is it possible that the leaders of the opposition, starting with Sali Berisha, are either in prison or under criminal prosecution?

We will not give up. On October 6 in Tirana, let’s all be together. This is the declaration from my side that we will always be and we will be here. I have just signed, on behalf of the group, the request for the initiation of the investigation of the assets of Fatmir Xhafaj.

Why did SPAK not do the property investigation? Because the law is not equal to all. The law does not work. It is through SKY that judge Artan Germani has been listening. I will also publish from prison, moment by moment.

Gero and Fatmir Xhafaj are classic subjects of the anti-mafia law. I request the beginning of the property investigation for Gero and Fatmir Xhafaj.

Justice delays, but never forgets. We will not stop from denunciations. We will continue to unmask corruption.

We will keep our promises,” said Salianji.
