“I killed with my father's hunting rifle”, a tale of the gillian who ended up in prison as 16-year-olds.

Sunday, August 19th, 2018, began normally for the Nuhiu family from Gjilan, but what happened later left a mark on each of them.

It was the day when Albin fired Dad's hunting rifle, according to him, to protect himself and his father from a dangerous person who was killed in their backyard.

In a confession to Kiks Kosovo, 7 years after the tragic event, Albin says this case could have been avoided, if police took into account the conviction he made two days before the critical day.

However, since the institutions took nothing, the man who threatened and physically attacked the 16-year-old man took courage and stormed the door of the Nuhiu family with a gun and a metal rod with him.

In an effort to protect his father and himself from this person, Albin, at the time only 16 years old, took his father's hunting rifle and, out of fear, shot him in the direction of an uninvited guest, leaving him killed in their backyard.

The brilliant student who had just completed his first year of high school for Bank and Finance and with a great passion for football ended up behind bars.

Because of his youth and circumstances, the Court sentenced him to six years and six months in prison, but he remained there for only four years and four months.

That occasion and the punishment he received for it separated Albin from his vital dream.

However, luck in his misfortune was that he did not stop schooling. The course he began while in freedom, by his own will, Albin continued during his stay in prison and to achieve his purpose had great support from the staff of the Correcting Service.

His dedication was rewarded when his name first figured on the list of students accepted at the University of Pristina Economics Faculty. And his success, he attributes it to his mother, who says it was his main motive, reports Clankosova, broadcasts Periscope.

For years in prison, however, Albin was not satisfied with Kosovo's resocialisation programmes. He claims they were flawed.

And the shortcomings of the resocialization system, Albin says, are even more observed when released. The 23-year-old, who during his stay in prison, graduated from the Bank and Finance, although he has been on freedom for three years, has not yet been able to find work in the direction he has conducted his studies.

Even more reintegration into society a former prisoner makes it difficult to practice that police for a time, even after being released, do not issue him a certificate that is not under investigation, nor does the Court of Criminal Punishment, which is a condition for employment in many companies.

And this policy, according to Albin, can affect criminalisation of persons who after serving it want to change themselves and their lives.

Unable to find a job for his profession, Albin today works as an electroinstaller in his relatives ' business. /Periscope/
