No one, no one owes life”, “Police are slipping towards systematic abuse” Security officials criticise police action in the Lipjan case.

The death of 27-year-old Agon Zamenu in the hands of five Kosovo police officers has shaken the country. After the publication even of images from the already arrested deceased, police officials were criticised for their way of intervention until it also led to their arrest and suspension, writes Periscope. 

In terms of the case, security connoisseur Fadil Caitazi said that if the police are found guilty, then someone should be responsible.

In case intervention protocols are violated, it's normal that someone should be given responsibility in case there's after protocol violations, it's very logical because no one owes anyone life. If the police have violated the law, they have to answer, but for this matter from a distance we find it difficult to appreciate that the competent organs, the IPK will interview the police and draw a conclusion to”, Caitazi told Periscope.

Commenting on the video published from the moment of arrest, Cajtazi said that in this case the police reaction was on the basis of the protocol they are asked for, but that is not enough because more evidence must be collected.

“They have reacted on the basis of the protocol as being reacted to a person who violates public order and tranquillity. The cop when he's acting in response has to take into account the circumstances, but he's not able to perceive that the person they're dealing with has health problems or mental problems, and the first job he has to do is arrest him, I have to neutralise him not to act or to counter him, and the reaction from the movie scene has been within this framework, there should now be other evidence to prove what the police have said, what I arrested him has said, means closer evidence, but only from what is seen by the filmmakers that they just wanted to neutralize the person who broke the public order and added to the entire order, Kaux.

While the other security expert, Bedri Elez, reacted sharply to Kosovo police, criticising that “is falling towards systematic abuse and structured criminality”.

The “is deeply alarming that the Kosovo Police, an institution that should be guarantor of order and security, is slipping towards systematic abuse and structured criminality. Even more disturbing is the silence or closure of cases by the Kosovo Police Inspectorate (IPK) and responsible bodies, which seem to operate only under public opinion pressure.
These serious events raise serious doubts that many similar cases where citizens have been victims of abuse by senior police officials may have been closed or not addressed at all because of lack of visual or media interest”, he said, among other things.

We remember that, in the case, there were reactions from several deputies and representatives of civil society, while nothing has been said by the incumbent government.
