Ylli Manjani: Detention is full of people who were never questioned, this approach must be changed

Former Minister of Justice Ylli Manjani, based on the case of the arrest and imprisonment of Erion Veliaj, raises concerns about the approach to pre-trial detention in our country.

Manjani states in a comment on social media that indiscriminate detention of non-defendants is considered deprivation of liberty without evidence.

He calls on Prime Minister Edi Rama to draft democratic laws, while showing how the country's institutions are filled with detainees who are never questioned.

Manjan's comment on social media:

As for information:

The detention center is full of people who were never questioned before being arrested. At least Klotilda Bushka is free and without security measures.

In all the institutions where the detainees are accommodated, there are long lines of women and minor children waiting to meet their fathers. No child is blessed with this fate, to be honest! Certainly not Erion's child.

As I have said, the application of prison arrest outside the context of flagrancy and, against non-defendants, is considered deprivation of liberty without evidence. Part of the blame lies with the justice system, but the law also has a big hole in this matter. The Prime Minister should not make any fuss about arrest without evidence and without trial, but draft democratic laws that have logic and meaning, not laws that allow the next person to make decisions as he pleases.

Now, to the Prime Minister, I say: welcome to my club!

But unlike me and others like me, he has to make up his mind and make laws to be. He has to do this together with these cacophonists of the opposition.

Labeling yourself "dumdumani" or "Karagjoz prosecutor" is not a solution...

Lower your spirits and do something, because injustice is massive, not selective!
