On May 16, 1999, when the war nearly reached one year in Kosovo, Ukshin Hoti reaches the end of his political sentence at the Dubrava prison after being arrested by Serbian forces. But why he was released, he never came home.
On May 19th 1999, prison was surrounded by tanks and with antiaircraft weapons of the Serbian Army, bombarded by NATO. In the days ahead, Serbian guards and paramilitaries flock 800 Albanian prisoners from 1,000 in prison, while others are hiding in prison cells.
The Serbian guards and paramilitaries empty their bullets to prisoners with all the arsenal they had in their hands - grenades, machine guns, snipers and bazooka. There are 176 people slaughtered and more than 200 injured. Human Right Watch went to the scene on May 24, 1999, and points out the damage they will publish in their report. But Walker Hot was not found among them. It remains one of thousands of missing persons since the war period in Kosovo.
Hoti was a prominent political activist and intellectual in Kosovo.
Today there will be a sensational gathering to the fate of Ukshi Hott on the occasion of Ukshi Hoti Week, held in the Great Krusha, his hometown.
