The hearing where Ismet Tara, known as Commander “Hoja”, was accompanied by tensions. Tara has refused to give testimony without a document being presented, which he describes as crucial to his integrity, writes Periscopi.
Ismet Tara has demanded that a document appear that had expressed concerns about his translation of the testimony he gave to the SPS by 2019.
Witness Tara asked the judges to present this document or else he won't speak
Even after that request, Tara has continued to fail to respond by ordering the judges to show her the document.
No questions will be answered until the document is presented. My guess is this is a corrupt court. I won't answer any questions to him, said Tara.
You can be fined if you don't answer”.
The Hoxha commanders continued to refuse to answer the questions the SPS prosecutor posed.
Even if I'm killed I don't speak until the document is presented to”, Tara said.
Otherwise, in his statement, Tara stressed that the document in question describes it as “the nation's traitor”.
I have a request for the judge before I get out of here. I without that wish by judges, to be presented to me my document, in which I have raised my doubts about my interview with investigators in 2019”.
You may ask for everything, but I from this moment if that document that has raised my concern, that has risked my life and my 10 family and that document I have described as a traitor to the nation, the traitor of The NLA, the traitor of my martyrs and heroes and of all that massacred and displaced people from Kosovo. I will not give any recognition without considering this document. And without clearing the Hoxha commands. I don't speak anything from this moment on. You can call me, the session will be closed from here. Or you'll continue, no answer will speak until the document<x1 is considered, Tara said in Special.
The judge asked him to continue witnessing, but Tara declared that she would no longer speak until the document was examined
“You answer questions today, Mr Tara. When you finish the testimony, we'll give you an opportunity to make a statement of”, the judge said./Periscopi/
