(3 years ago)President Vjosa Osmani in her mandate has the legal right to pardon prisoners who meet the criteria. But not even this year, as usual, she has not forgiven a prisoner. From the Council for Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms say it is unacceptable [...]
From the Council for Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms, they say it is unacceptable and not understood.
Since receiving her mandate, President Vjosa Osmani did not forgive any prisoners in the country.
Thus, about 500 prison requests at the country's detention centres were rejected by the institution.
Tv1 has sought answers from the presidency on the issue, but despite waiting for more than a week, this institution has not returned.
And by the Council for Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms, they say it is unacceptable and incomprehensible why no forgiveness has yet been made.
Valentina Demolli of this Council says that with these actions of President Osman, there is a disappointment and resentment among prisoners.
Gezim Shala from the Kosovar Institute for Justice estimates that the innocence of prisoners can have negative effects.
Osman's ancestors had practiced the forgiveness of prisoners, where these were largely held at religious and national festivals.
