The Authority for Information on Documents of the Former State Security has discovered several documents that show how Parashqevi Simaku was facing charges in '89.

It is shown that Parashqevia was singing in Student City , but then chants against the communist regime were heard.

This situation has subsequently led to the completion of the file of Albanian singers.

Full post by the Authority for Information on Former State Security Documents:

Even in the greatest darkness, youth finds a way to express the missing freedom, albeit in the most naive forms of reaction to oppression, control, and punishment.

Tirana, 21:34, date 21.03.1989. In the Student City, after the end of the television show "Music for Everyone", in building no. 7, three students of the Higher Institute of Arts began to sing love songs in low voices.

They were joined by boys and girls from other buildings, with shouts and slogans such as “Long live the Institute” and “The arts are the world”. A little later, other calls are heard from building 5: “Viva Parashqevi, viva!”, “Down with fascism”, as well as the songs “Come, gather here, here, together with us”, etc.

We are bringing you an episode that seems naive for today, but in 1989 this was a true act of "treason" by the youth, if we refer to the isolation and control of every educational and cultural cell with an iron fist by the power structures.

The document created by the former State Security, part of the AiDSSH archival fund, shows a special episode from the last years of the communist regime, when the voice and spirit of youth were attempting to challenge isolation and suppression, also in relation to political changes throughout Eastern Europe.

Was her choice of name a need for liberation?

The event that took place in the Student City in March 1989 reflects a spontaneous moment when art and personal emotions overcame the walls of fear and censorship.

With declarations like "The arts are the world" and cries like "Viva Parashqevi, viva!", although entirely symbolic, they showed that, at a time when everything seemed bleak, a beautiful voice and face, free as a bird, redeemed and in the spotlight, were in need of salvation.

In the whirlwind of today's discussions, where nostalgia for an artistic figure from those dark years mixes with human sensitivity for humanity, we understand that time flies for all of us and that isolation and stifling of feelings for a long time can deform the memory of a nation that was nourished by optimistic and heroic texts in an almost tragic time for human individuality.

Societies often need symbols that embody their aspirations for freedom and justice. In the absence of an accurate memory, they often “find” or create images that reflect these values, based on perception.

As Argentine writer Ernesto Sabato tells us: “ It is not ideas that have saved the world; it is neither intellect nor reason, but their complete opposite: the meaningless hopes of people, their persistent rage to survive, their anxious desires to breathe as necessary, their small, grotesque and daily herpism in the face of disaster .”
