Such suspension has come after Geci's defense request, arguing that the same needs adequate medical treatment.
The news of Geci's defence lawyer, Haxhi Milaku, who said the medical commission formed by the president of Appeals has found, among other things, that his defense suffers from serious illness.
Millaku said that despite the fact that their request for suspended sentences has been approved, courts according to him have been delayed in this respect, and that, as he said, could cost to further medical treatment of his defenders Sabit Geci.
Also, Milaku said his request was made for suspension of execution for a period of six months, but the court has decided that the execution of the sentence will be suspended for three months.
Otherwise, this is not the first time that the execution of sentence is suspended against Geci.
This had happened in February 2017, when then Justice Minister Donus Hoxha had suspended the execution of the sentence on Geci for a three - month period.
Likewise, former Deputy Justice Minister Lirak Celij had suspended his execution of the sentence, Sabit Geci.
Like the last decision, even the previous decisions of the Present Gift Hodge and Lirak Chellaj were made on the grounds that the convict Geci needs adequate medical treatment, writes “Justice Vow”.
The District Court in Mitrovica, in July 2011, had found Sabit Gecin guilty of four counts of war crimes against the civilian population, as well as for illegal weapons criminal work, and had sentenced him to 15 years in prison.
Also, this court had convicted three others of war crimes in the case, respectively, Riza Aliaj was sentenced to 12 years in prison, Saban Hoti to 7 years in prison, and Haki Rexhepi to 6 years in prison.
The court had found sufficient evidence that those held in the camps in Kukes and Chahan, were beaten and mistreated, had not been watered, and had no hygienic conditions for them.
The court had not found sufficient evidence to upload Sabit Gecin for Anton Bisak's murder.
