When the Polish woman Janina Glluc wrote to Enver Hoxha: My heart is breaking with embarrassment, why is my daughter imprisoned?

Today, on March 8, on the day that commemorates the efforts of women for equality, peace and justice, the Information Authority on Former State Security Documents (AIDSSH) proposes to read this letter that Janina Glluc, a desperate but brave mother of sent to the dictator Hoxha, whose regime he considered even harsher than Nazism. The letter is dated February 1971 and is the second, after her first plea for the release from prison of the mother of two children, Barbara Glluc Orgocka.

Since 1959, Barbara Glluc Orgocka leaves her native country and decides to live in Albania with her husband, the engineer from Korça, Vasillaq Orgocka. In those years of the intensification of communist repression, Orgocka was sentenced by the Albanian court to life imprisonment.

In these circumstances, from her country of birth Poland, her mother, Janina Glluc, sends a letter written in Polish to the first Secretary of the Central Committee of the ALP, Enver Hoxha, to learn the reasons for her daughter's imprisonment. Thus, as mentioned in the letter Mrs. Glluc, the reasons for it are still unknown, even though this is the second letter that Janina Glluc sends to Hoxha.

In the first prayer dated 8/18/1970, Mrs. Glluc clearly does not agree with the reasoning that the reason for her daughter's imprisonment is the performance of some activity against the Albanian people.

The prayer, among other things, means the hardening of the mechanisms of Hoxha's regime. The "wind" of liberalism in the new political course of the Soviet Union, where the cult of Stalin was openly denounced, thus being known in history as the process of de-Stalinization, did not bring anything new to Albania. Albania was not only not affected, but on the contrary remained loyal to the Marxist-Leninist line.

In this political climate, harshness and repressive control, even after several prayers, Barbara's mother, Janina Blluc, is not even allowed to visit her daughter, even with the representatives of the Albanian Embassy in Warsaw.

The story of Barbara Ogocka, the wife of Vasillaq Orgocka, sentenced to 25 years of imprisonment, is one of the most painful stories of foreign women who suffered unjust sentences in Albania. She was released on 24.6.1971 after the interventions and pressure of the Polish Embassy in Tirana. It was destroyed by the constant torture that was done to it. He suffered a total of 2 years, 3 months, 29 days. He was then allowed to repatriate, but he never recovered from what he went through in Albania./ATA
