The seventh part
Memorie.al/ publishes some archival documents issued by the Authority for the Information of the Files of the former State Security, where there is a voluminous file (the processing form file with 433 pages and the investigative and judicial file with 632 pages) in charge of Gjet Kadel , originally from the village of Bulshar i Oroshi of Mirdita and living in Bushnesh e Mamurras of Kurbin, former political prisoner in the communist regime of Enver Hoxha and his successor, Ramiz Alia, who spent 16 years in communist camps and prisons , as in Spaç, Burrel, etc. As we will see from the documents that are in the file in charge of Gjet Kadel, which is published for the first time by Memorie.al, the surveillance and pursuit of him began in 1957, when he was 17 years old, with the information report of the State Security officer, Fahri Kraja, (based on the data of the Security associate with the nickname “Dylli i Bardhë”, with the approval of the Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Kruja district, lieutenant colonel Muhedin Këxhalliu) , has continued even during the period that he was in camps and prisons, such as in Spaç, where after the revolt of May 1973, Gjeta was re-sentenced, as he was the main the originator for raising the flag without the communist star, then continuing in prison of Burrel, with the reports-information of Operative Worker, Piro Nuredini, etc., about Gjeta’s conversations with other convicts of that prison, such as: Pjetër Arbnori, Daut Gumeni, Abdulla Sallaku, Spartak Ngjela, Avni Aliko, Luan Burimi, Çaush Çoku, Kaplan Resuli, Ba rdhosh Gjonzeneli, Bashkim Shehu, etc. The surveillance and follow-up of Gjet Kadel continued even after his release from prison in 1987, continuing until January 1991, with the image of the communist regime, when his file was finally closed and archived in the secret archive of the former State Security. In the same way, an important place in the said files is also occupied by letter correspondence of Gjeta and his family, with their father, Pjetër Kadeli, former soldier of the Monarchy of Zogu, who had blown up the prison cells of Internal Branch of Rrëshen on July 28, 1950, stayed for some time in the mountains on the run, and then in 1951, secretly returned to Mirdita, took his son, Gjoni, and escaped to Yugoslavia and then to the USA- es, where he stayed as a political emigrant, until the beginning of the 90s, when he returned permanently to Albania. During this period of almost 35 years since Gjet Kadeli has been followed and monitored by the State Security, a total of 33 associates of the State Security have been engaged and activated against him, who have given their reports, starting from “White Wax” in 1957, until “Dallandyshja e Mali” in 1990, which will be reflected in full, as they are in the relevant files.

Albania and China cannot maintain this regime, because they do not have the power to maintain it, and they must go where the majority goes, here Gjeta said, it is not the fault of the people, but the fault of the leadership, that they insist like mules and it happens as they say, and that’s how they took the people by the neck, but the end is coming, no matter how they hold on.
The conversation with Gjeta did not continue any longer because other people came here. He says that; Gjeta is in good company with Gjon Hoti who, in 1958, was released from political prison. I found Gjoni, speaks with the greatest admiration and calls him a friend who never leaves you in the mud.

Task:

- You know it very well, I just want to say that, don’t talk to other people, the way you talk to me, that I often see you with Gjon Hoti, who has been in prison, you know him better, but I have fear that, I don’t know what a man is and then, I put his arm in, I don’t say that to retreat. This in order to, what Gjeta means.
Clarification of the giver
Gjon Hoti, is from Mamurras village and was in prison for the tendency to escape, with Gjon, Gjeta has created a good friendship and he connected this because, when Gjon was in prison, he was with Gjeta’s aunt, named Zef Kadeli, sentenced to 25 years. Gjeta calls this a loyal friend.
Evaluation of the giver
The information is important and has operational value, Gjeta’s connection with Gjoni, leaving you to suspect that they have some activity together, since Gjeta has a tendency to escape, they can do this together. John, according to the data, also got into a fight with his family and does not go home at all.

PLAN – MEASURES
(Agienturalo – Operative in progress of processing in category 2/A, Gjet Kadelit)
From the continuation of the processing that we have done during this time on the object “Zullapi”, which is followed as a connection of the Yugoslav legate and for the tendency to escape, in its direction, we have received a series of data that, this propagandizes against the popular power and again manifests the tendency to escape abroad, has kept connections and contacts with suspicious elements, who are followed and processed by our bodies, such as: Nik Deden, Ibrahim Çupin, etc.
During this time, he has approached our bodies, supposedly to cooperate, but his purpose in the meantime is only to see if he is followed or not by our bodies and to find out who these bodies are interested in, during tasks that could be given to him, before the agency and especially before B.p. “Cezma e Troja” and “Mbrehia”, it has been stated that; I work with the Security and keep in touch with a friend in the Ministry, he said that; they called me to the Branch and proposed to cooperate, but I told you that; I can’t, if you want, give me a salary to work.
He said that abroad, life is better, here there is great suffering, the youth must wander here and there, but here, they don’t allow you, I found the opportunity, I will leave, but I am afraid that I will leave Yugoslavia, they return me.
Based on the above, in the direction of this processing, we have the following tasks:

- Since B.p. Shtiza”, has good connections with the object Nik Deda, in the conversations they will have, to talk about Gjet Kadel, how Nika characterizes this.
