On the verge of the anniversary of January 21st, the British ambassador in Tirana, Fiona McIlwham declared for the media:
“Our thoughts go to the families of those who died. The first month of the last year was very sad for Albania and democracy in this country. As other international partners have declared, it is very important to bring justice, especially for the families. One year ago, our Minister for Europe, David Lidington appealed for a full and independent investigation of the events that took place in Tirana. This investigation is still undergoing. It is a credible process that will need time, but it really should not delay. We appeal the Albanian authorities to fully cooperate with the prosecutors for the investigation”, the British ambassador says.
“Justice demands professional and impartial institutions that the public trusts and that act with impartiality, closely followed by the media, in order to ensure that the process is righteous”.
“A few weeks ago, in Britain, two people were sentenced after 19 years, for the racist murder of a student. This proved the essential role of the public and of the media pressure for pushing forward the reforms and for guaranteeing that no one stands above the law.
