Montenegrin Prosecutor Charges 18 Albanians with "Terrorism"

PODGORICA, Montenegro, December 8, 2006 -- Stoyanka Radovic, special prosecutor for the fight against organised crime, indicted 18 [Albanians] Thursday (December 7th) on charges of anti-state and anti-constitutional activity and terror acts. Most of the defendants were arrested back in September, on the eve of Montenegro's general election. Prosecutors say the group planned to provoke riots and instability on Election Day, in a bid to create a region in which the Albanian minority would enjoy special status.

The charges were formally read against the following:

Vasel Dedvukaj (44)
Doda Lucaj (55)
Gjon Dedvukaj (31)
Anton Sinishtaj (47)
Viktor Sinishtaj (42)
Zef Berishaj (43)
Sokol Ivanaj (51)
Gjergj Ivanaj (42)
Gjon Lucaj (34)
Viktor Dreshaj (38)
Pjeter Dedvukaj (38)
Rrok Dedvukaj (48)
Kol Dedvukaj (58)
Gjon Dedvukaj (60)
Nikola Lekocaj (26)
Mark Ivanaj (53)
Vaso Kolicaj (39)
Malota Bojaj (38)

Albanians need to step up pressure both in Malesi and here in the Diaspora!!

These (politically motivated) indictments are unacceptable!; 12:17 PM
Anonymous said...: I thought there were about 11-12 prisoners; how did they get 18? Are there some on the loose, or being sought after?

By the way, anyone know how the demonstration went?; 4:33 PM

He is being accused as being the ring-leader of the group.

I know this guy, he is a restaurateur in Detroit with a great family, a very nice guy.; 6:51 PM

Our message got across but it's dissapointing that more people don't show up, we're letting Malesia slip away more and more each day, although the Albanian Diaspora has worked hard to "save Malesia" (Check out www.malesiaemadhe.org ARCHIVES section) we can't allow Montenegro to limit basic rights, politically terrorize Malesia's citizens.

So, get out of your comfortable desk chair and do sometihng for Malesia, show up to the demonstraions, donate some money to the organizations dedicated to Malesia (Shoqata is having a fundraiser Sunday night at St. Paul's Banquet Hall), do something to SAVE MALESI!

But, on the other hand, has the international community defined "terrorizt" yet??? I believe that the Hamas' suicide bombings in Isreal, Al-Qeada's hi-jackings and ultimatley killing 2,500 innocent Americans' lives, can be more clearly defined as TERRORISM, rather than a "riot" which has never taken place. All of the demonstrations in Tuz have been pretty damn peaceful so far, too peaceful if you ask me!

Good day,

Conference Organizer said...: Doda (Doci) Lucaj was apprehended in Vienna, Austria yesterday, HOWEVER, Interpol released him to U.S. officials and he is expected to arrive in Detroit either tonight or tomorrow night.

This is a tremendous blow to Montenegro because Lucaj was indicted on charges of "terrorism" and was considered the ring-leader of the supposed operation.

Let's pray that the other prisones will share his fate in the near future...; 12:28 PM

He is a U.S. citizen and there is a strong (100%) chance that if extradited, he will undergo torture and inhumane punishhment.; 7:16 PM

Anonymous said...: Doda Lucaj is my uncle and the tabloids are a bunch of lies! Doci is innocent and they have no proof of what hes being charged for...Hopefully he gets out soon because his nephew and sister(my mom) miss him<3; 11:44 PM
Anonymous said...: Doda (Doci) is in a tight predicament; we are all praying for an immediate release!

We need to press his lawyer to do whatever he can to attack the juducial system and PROVE that Montrenegro will physically and mentally abuse him until there is virtually no life left in him anymore!

As relatives of Doci, stay in touch with his lawyer and push him to fight tooth and nail until he is released.; 12:51 AM

New York Times article published May 21, 1911

"ALBANIAN JOAN OF ARC: Handsome Heroine Takes Father's Place and Vanquishes Turks" – Cetinja, May 21, 1911 - A young girl, whose first name corresponds to that of the given name of the Maid of Orleans, is now being sung in the songs of the Montenegrin bards in the inns and coffee houses in Podgorica. When at the battle of Vranje last week, her father, the hereditary commander of his clan, fell, she immediately stepped to his place and led the Martinajs to victory against the Turks. Aside from the romantic phase of the affair, for Janitza Martinaj (Tringa e Grudes) is very beautiful, the battle is important as showing that the Montenegrins on the frontier had joined with the Albanians. According to a person who is well acquainted with her, this new Joan of Arc is “a tall, handsome, well-developed young woman. All the Albanian women are brave, and are trained from their girlhood to the use of firearms, and in times of war, as there are no mules, they carry the provisions and ammunition for their soldiers and go into the firing line to distribute them.” “And are sometimes killed?” “Yes, often that happens.” Janitza would probably have carried a Martini rifle; or, as many of the Marininis were collected last year by the Turks, her weapon may perhaps have been one of the old-fashioned Albanian rifles, which are handsomely decorated with silver and have very long, narrow barrels. Shooting is almost the only amusement of the young men and women in Albania. Both boys and girls learn to shoot when they are 12 years old. At weddings the parties amuse themselves by dancing and shooting: at christenings shootings is again the principal amusement – firing at large targets for some little prize – and at festivals there is shooting all day long. It’s one of the great difficulties that Turks have to contend with, for it is part of the national life; the people use their rifles by day and sleep with them by their side by night. The custom has grown up with the prevailing insecurity from vendettas at home and border troubles abroad. Physically, the Albanians are the finest race in Europe. Their women are handsome, with dark hair, though their eyes are sometimes gray. To see them walk is a delight. We like to see the ballet in Servia. The first time I saw the Albanians walk it gave me just the same pleasure. Their movements are so graceful, elegance and strength together. Yes, they are a very fine and very gifted race. They are like the Scots in the 17th century, and they will be by and by the finest race, intellectually as well as physically, in the Balkans. If you go to Constantinople you will find that many of the finest men, not only soldiers but also statesmen are Albanians. Their fault, due to their present degree of civilization, is that they cannot grasp the idea of State. The clan is their highest organization; they are unable to see the importance of combining the clan with the higher organization of making a state. But that will come.
