Edita Tahiri's story: My mother died without seeing my family, my father was tortured in Rankovic's prisons

Her father was an activist for uniting Kosovo with Albania, while her mother was from Kukes.

She's been confessing unprecedented things to her family at RTV Dukajini.

The former politician relates that her mother had never seen her family again after the border was closed. My “parents were married at the time of World War II, when Kosovo and Albania had no borders. Then the boundaries were closed, and my mother passed away without seeing her family at”.

Tahiri shows that a difficult life had also taken place with her father, after being imprisoned by Rankovic's power.

My father was imprisoned in Rankovic's time, when politicians and patriots were taken to prisons and tortured in inhumane ways. My father has been tortured even with electric wreaths at the Mitrovica prison in Srem. He was mentally ill and at home for about ten years was lonely, but later, after some treatments, he was rehabilitated and restored the harmony of the family”.

Politinja says, however, her father failed to see her engagement in politics. But he says he had left the passports so that no one could join the Communist Party.
