Notes
The defendant Kasëm Hoxha, being an enemy of the people’s power, has started agitating and propagandizing against the People’s Power since 1969.
It was proven that this defendant, before his first cousin, Selfo Hoxha, escaped, had conversations with him where he expressed his dissatisfaction with the popular government.
Later, when he went to do his mandatory military service, he talked to Thoma Miçoni, telling him that it is good for his cousins who escaped to Monarcho-Fascist Greece that many people escaped from his village and that in this regime, prisons and camps are full.
After the defendant returned from mandatory military service, he increased his hostile activity. Thus, the defendant, on 20.5.1973, wrote a letter in his house with a very deep hostile content and threw it in the center of Markat village, calling for the rise of the villagers against the people’s power.
In this letter, he wrote: “New year’s, but the years are black. With these few words, dear Albanians, I want to describe your countless sufferings. With this title, you could write an entire novel. This, brothers, cannot be tolerated, so we must all stand up to win our rights. I believe you understand me. Down with the Party with Envert Hoxha at the head. Glory to our group led by Teme Sejko and Tahir Demi”.
The above was proven by the letter in the file, which was written by the defendant and which has a deep hostile content, with the act of graphic expertise and with the statements of the witness, Thoma Miçoni.
In the above circumstances, the defendant committed the crime provided for by Article 73/.1 of the Criminal Code.
In determining the punishment, the court takes into account the seriousness of the crime, takes into account the personality of the defendant, his social composition, takes into account the manner in which he committed the crime of agitation and propaganda, and as a consequence, in the present case, there is room for the maximum penalty provided for in this crime is applied.
