Jakup Krasniqi's lawyer: The prosecution is counting on his post for Shkelzen Gashi

Venkateswari Alagedra, lawyer of the former head parliament and former KLA spokeswoman Jakup Krasniqi, has submitted nine pages of material to the Apel to counter the Specialised Prosecutor's Office. A portion of these lawyer's predecessors from Malaysia is also cited by Krasniqi's Facebook post, which he had made in response to the statements of Shkelzen Gashi, former adviser to Albin Kurti. In that post, Krasniqi called Gashi “co-bortionist” after the latter had said that KLA members had committed crimes during and after the war.

According to lawyer Alagedra, such a statement by Krasniqi would have to be used by the Prosecutor.

“The ZPS seeks to back the controversial decision, stating that the indictee's latest “approach should be reasonably interpreted as an attempt to promote or promote crimes against such persons and / or a threat showing his intention to commit future crimes”. The last slide is a Facebook post that called on a political party to be seriously distanced from Dick's patriotism. MARTIT” Even if someone disagrees with Mr. Krasniqi, his words cannot reasonably be interpreted as inciting crimes or threatening to commit crimes in the future. He has not done or called for any violent or criminal act”, it is said in the parade handed over by Alagedra.

According to her, the “support in this post to justify the ban has been unreasonable”.

The lawyer has also rejected the decision of the preliminary procedure judge, Nicolas Guillou, in part of his reasoning that Jakup Krasniqi has a large network of supporters who may be able to commit crimes to prevent the work of the Special Court. Even this claim, according to lawyer Alagedra is not reasonable. She says the Court and Prosecutorate wrongly claim Jakup Krasniqi has access to network of supporters, including police and intelligence experts, like other indictees in the case.

She uses the fact that Krasniqi has been actively in politics for years at this point.

No evidence was cited as support. No explanation is offered for connecting a man who has retired for five years with the same support network as the current top political figures. The SPS even claims it has multiple “evidence for such a support network”, ironically, without referring to a single test connected to Mr. Krasniqi”, said in parliament.

On November 4th of last year, former spokeswoman KLA, Jakup Krasniqi was arrested and sent to special custody. To the same destination, on a military plane, former war associates Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini and Rexhep Selimi left the following day.

The arrests came after a Special Court preliminary procedure judge had confirmed the charges against four former KLA leaders. They are accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The incident holds Thaci, Veselin, Krasniqi and Selimi responsible for a series of crimes allegedly committed at several detention centres during 1998-1999. The specialized prosecutor accuses them of being or should be aware of such crimes. /
