Albin Kurti: Power wants to scare young people away from politics

Yesterday activists Pajtim Demaj, Korab Muhadri, Endrit Shatri, Januz Shatri, Kreshnik Gega and Hajredin Krasniqi extended detention for two months. He thus made known through an announcement the Student Movement for Equality, the Study of Critics Action.

VV chairman Albin Kurti says power is thus trying to harm student activism and the work of the SKV, but says it is impossible.

Their arrest, it says, has made it impossible for these students to activism right on the eve of student elections at Pristina University to be held on May 15th.

Facebook Kurt Post:

Yesterday we were informed that six Movement activists -- Pacim Demaj, Hajredin Krasniqi, Januz Shatri's Andrew, Kreshnik Gega and Korab Muhadri, who were held for nearly a month in custody -- have continued their detention for another two months.

Of these six, five are very active students of the SKV student organization (Sudium Critics ) Action. Their meaningless arrest, and especially such long detention, has made the activism of these students impossible right on the eve of student elections at Pristina University, which will be held on May 15th.

Power efforts to undermine student activism and the work of the SCV coincide with their general approach: they want to intimidate young people and push them away from politics. But the University of Pristina and the politically engaged students and professors have always led to progressive changes in Kosovo's history, and so it will be again. There is no prison and detention, persecution and isolation, which halts student activism.
