Freedom Party leader Ilir Meta is not in the courtroom at the GJKKO where the security measure is being discussed.
Meta's lawyer has requested the release of his client, bringing to attention the court's decision to release former AKSHI director Mirlinda Karçanaj from the security measure of House Arrest.
Memory of Cakrani: Meta has been in custody for 19 months. The trial on the merits has not yet begun and it is not known when it will end. The GJKKO justified the security measure with the fact that the defendant could damage evidence by intimidating witnesses. The risk of witness intimidation remains speculative. The prosecution says it will destroy evidence, but it does not say what evidence it is. The prosecution says it will intimidate witnesses, but it does not say which witnesses it will intimidate. We demand that the former president have a more lenient measure.
Former director of AKSHI Mirlinda Kaçanaj was also accused of "criminal group" and the Supreme Court released her from "house arrest". My client does not trust the court, which is why he did not come here today. Why should the detention continue? All the conditions have changed. The court should reflect.
