Krasniqi in The Hague: In the final phase of my life, I have been denied the right to freedom

The final word in The Hague is already being said by Jakup Krasniqi.

Before the court, he said that for more than five years, man's right has been denied, stressing, among the most important, him to live in freedom.

After more than five years of unjust imprisonment and, in my opinion, unnecessary, my political and vital commitment to life and freedom has started early. I have been committed from the beginning to give a true confession of our struggle for independence, against the policies of persecution and genocide of the Serbian regime, which brought unprecedented suffering and destruction to the people of Kosovo”, Krasniqi said.

For more than five years, I believe I have been denied human rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights. Among them, the most important is the right to live in freedom, especially the right of a man in the final phase of his life to live the remaining years with dignity, near his family and at his free homeland”, he said.
