Four unarmed protesters were murdered by the National Guard on January 21st, 2011, protesting in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, Sali Berisha.  One of them was Ziver Veizi.

His daughter, Ana Veizi, was 11 when he died. Year after year, in every homage, she is seen with teary eyes, accompanied by politicians who promised her justice.

But the Supreme Court sentenced the killer of her father with two years in prison. Even in this case, the Judge was Shkelzen Selimi, the man who closed the Gerdec Tragedy as a technological accident.

On April 2016, Ana Veizi said that she was losing hopes that there would be justice. Disappointed by politics and justice, today she has a new hope. She expects judges such as Shkelzen Selimi to be facing the Vetting Law.

“I was hoping for the judges who stepped on my father’s memory to be facing justice. This is not happening. The Vetting Law is going on very slowly. I don’t understand how many judges, such as Shkelzen Selimi, can sleep well at night. Is there any Vetting Law for this judge and for everyone else who killed my father a second time?”, Ana Veizi declared.

Time has not removed her pain for her father, but she has already forgotten the promise of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who said that justice wouldn’t be delayed.

The only thing she can do, is study hard: “I want to become a judge and bring justice for people who have no support. I want to be by their side”, Ziver Veizi’s said.
