The man from Decani shows that after being rescued from the massacre, the survivors sought to avoid further experiencing horrors in other prisons where some had been sent to Lipjan, and some to Nis and Belgrade.

He even shows that they've asked each other for something nice and they've said prayers thinking they won't be saved.

“We're gone and we're going to the eighth of us, I one, Fahrish Shabaj of Ferizaj, Ilir Krasniqi of Vranoci, Muj Zeka of Carrabreg, Selman Ukhaj of Carrabreg, has been Shala Hoxha from Prizren. The eight of us are gone, and we're on our way, and we're on our way, and we're having a bit of a chill. Hoxha was behind the Koran, and in light of the nalt she saw it there and read it, during the party where we've been for 24 hours I've noticed a wire. Let's tie the file hand-holding and tie it up in two places.

The May 22, 1999 massacre in Dubrava prison experienced another person. Rexha Jakupi has unveiled some from the moment of this massacre. He says he doesn't even know how he escaped this massacre, where Albanian prisoners of all ages were killed.

There were bombers in NATO a day before, the next day around 9 p.m., we were put in the sports field, 973 people, we were all we could for days. Even the old prisoners have fired, the Serbs have been shot, 170 dead, 300 injured out there and left us. Three nights outside we slept after three days we've been taken to Lipjan, left us two weeks in Lipjan after Lipjan, sent to Sremska Mitrovica then sent to Belgrade where, on 9 March 2001, we've been taken out by foreigners”, Jakupi said.

Jakupi relates that the chances of getting out of prison have been few, since even those who tried to escape were also killed by robbers.

This horrible massacre was experienced by political prisoner Gani Ceku from the village of Reznzic, who, amid excitement, says that fate wanted to save all those bullets.

“In August 1998, I have been arrested here even after the worst experiences of my life, unforgettable, I have seen the massacre with my eyes. There I was present, but fate in misfortunes saved the wounded. In line I was but I wasn't hit by their bullets, and fate wanted me to survive that massacre of”, this survivor of the Dubrava prison massacre.

But disappointed with the government's support for the family of those killed in this massacre, Brother Becir Hasanmetaj said that his brother had been found after the war buried on Rakoshi Hill.

He also said that they are being wronged because they are not allowed to visit where their loved ones were killed.

We've found it receiving information from people behind the people of Raccosh when it became the expert that the Spanish team carried out and from there on documentation and verifications we've taken the body and re-incred it into the village of Stralc. Today we are not entitled to come visit the place where our brothers, sons, fathers, slaughtered us. Today we come here two hours, three hours waiting and waiting, from Government because we don't have a back-up, this family said.

Hasanmaj also expressed disappointment with the Lapidari that was built at the entrance of the Dubrava prison, saying this lapidar has the place where the massacre in the sports field took place.
