Krasniqi's defence alerts, warns that prosecution is preparing for KLA leaders' condemnation

In the final jump, Jakup Krasniqi's lawyer mentions the condemnation of former KLA leaders.

The document says that with the latest development, there is a conflict between presumption of innocence and minimation of human rights.

“Jakup Krasniqi has already suffered four years and six months of ban. This prolonged deprivation of freedom weighs heavily against the continued ban, especially after the fundamental right to be alleged innocent and the extraordinary length of the time he has already suffered without punishment. The ban is exclusion, not rules, and must be the measure of final selection. Mr. Krasniqi under these circumstances could be perceived as a preliminary sentence, which conflicts with presuming innocence and would undermine the very rights that form the foundation of a fair trial”, Says in Jakup Krasniqi's defence parade, which Nacional has seen.

The possible punishment and the human rights minim has come as a result of refusing for provisional release.

According to the lawyer, the detention is now completely unnecessary, as The Hague prosecution witnesses and evidence have ended.

The circumstances have changed substantially. The prosecution has called her last witness and the main reason for continuing detention i.e. the risk that Mr. Krasniqi can interfere with the prosecution's witnesses no longer exists in any concrete or reliable form. There are no other witnesses to influence. Any claim that Mr. Krasniqi can prevent procedures by interfering with witnesses who have already testified, or in any case that will be raised by the Protector of Victims, is thoroughly speculating, lacks any actual basis and is insufficient to justify his deprivation from his further freedom. Continued reliance on speculation of this type would be unproportional and unwarranted”, It is further said in the statement of Jakup Krasniqi's defence.

The defence also cites Jakup Krasniqi's challenges in detention, including the delayed age.

Mr. Krasniqi has evolved significantly and deserves compassionate consideration. First, he is now 74 and [ I REDAKU] in the last four and a half years, [I] REDECT]. 2 Panel Aware of [ I REDECT]. Recently, [I] REDECT]. 4 [I] REDAKUED] are not just assistants they go to the heart [ I REDAKUED] to participate meaningfully in his defence, especially in the terms of extended detention. From the start of his detention, two grandchildren have been born. Mr. Krasniqi now seeks to return to his family with dignity and spend meaningful time with his growing family an incentive that only strengthens his motivation to maintain any condition the panel can impose”, It says further.

Kadri Wessel's defence has insisted that The Hague Prosecutor is aimed at any form to keep the accused in custody, and that constitutes violations.

Jakup Krasniqi's defence has proposed seven concrete measures Krasniqi is willing to implement in domestic arrest, only to be released and stay close to the family.

Objections in The Hague Prosecutor's claims have also had Rexhep Selim's defence. According to lawyers, the prosecution has failed to prove that Rexhep Selimi can escape, or intends to influence evidence and witnesses.

All defence teams, unanimously, criticise the fact that despite having completed the prosecution's witnesses and all evidence submitted, their clients are not being released.
