At the Court of Appeal, a hearing will be held today at 2:00 p.m. for the democratic MP Ervin Salianji, for the "Babale" case.
The first session took place on July 4, but Indri Sefa's lawyers submitted a request for postponement due to the boycott by the National Bar Association.
Fredi Alizoti has given up the complaint, while journalist Jetmir Olldashi was not present. The hearing was postponed after judge Elona Toro was infected with Covid-19.
Salianji was found guilty in the first degree for the criminal offense of false reporting in relation to the "Babale" case and was sentenced to 1 year in prison.
Journalist Jetmir Olldashi also appealed the case, who was sentenced to 6 months in prison converted to 100 hours of community service. If the Appeal will confirm the decision of the First Instance, then deputy Salianji risks prison.
