Ukshin Hoti, born 17 June 1943 in Krusha the Great of Rahovec, was a prominent professor, philosopher, writer and homeland writer committed to the national issue during 1981-1999. He had given lectures at several American universities, where he had studied and graduated.
For his domestic activities, Uksin Hoti had been arrested several times by the Serbian regime, originally Tito's and then Milosevic's. The latest arrest occurred in 1994, when he was charged with hostile activities against Yugoslavia and of participating in the movement for the Republic of Kosovo. He was sentenced to five years in prison.
Following the release from Dubrava prison on 16 May 1999, Uksin Hoti disappeared from Serbian police without leaving any trace. Witnesses, including fellow inmates and survivors of the Dubrava massacre, indicated that he had been released on just one Sunday when the release of prisoners was usually not practiced.
From that day to today, Ukshih Hoti remains missing and is considered a symbol of dedication and sacrifice on the national issue. /Periscope/
