On some thoughts that can be briefly formulated from the various appearances of M.E.S. (anti-party-P.N.) Convicts
The military, who are even the most extremist in this regard, have gone so far as to deny everything good in our country and question any action or anything else. But even in these directions there are different views and opinions and that there is no unity, or not all openly express their opinion and views.
Thus e.g. there are those who speak openly of their views and who have completely lost faith in this leadership, or who expect only its complete overthrow. Such are Maqo Çomua, Bardhyl Belishova, Vaskë Gjino, Gjin Marku, Sadik Bekteshi, Muhamet Prodani and Abaz Fejzo.
Maqua and Bardhyl are also active, because not only do they talk openly about their views, but they also try to bring as many friends as possible around them, and for this they have almost constantly done a systematic job, talking separately with each other the other.
Their main view is that: the policy of our leadership is not right, as in building socialism with our forces, in foreign and domestic policy. As after them, nothing can be done without the Soviet Union.
“Whatever they do wherever they go,” says Maqua, “they will still be linked to the Soviet Union.” These February, have a great hostility and wait for this leadership to be overthrown and our country to be associated with the Soviet Union.
The rest of this group is of the opinion that: ‘the path and line that our Party follows, it is not right, it is dogmatic, sectarian or Asian communism’, as Xhavit Qesja called it.
These are for liberalism or for a “true democracy”. These include Todi (Lubonja -P.N.), Fadili (Paçrami-P.N.), Xhavit (Qesja-P.N.).
And the young military, especially Muhameti (Prodani-P.N.), Abazi (Fejzo), Andoni (Sheti-P.N.) Including the Vaska (GJINO-P.N.), are even lower in their attitudes and views. These, starting from a raging hostility, go so far as to deny any success, in almost all areas in our country.
These are removed even if they are aware of every sector and problem of the state, although here they have been painted for what is shallow and for their sector that have worked for a long time. They do not believe in anything, and for every problem that is spoken or read, they will say that it is a lie.
Halim Ramohito says that he is in a room with them and that he does not support their position: from morning till night, they deny and curse from Skanderbeg until today, they leave nothing dirty without saying “.
Recently, especially after the arrival of the new military, from the work done by Maqo Çomua with them, as well as from an elaboration made by Rahmani (Përllaku – PN), they managed to have some solidarity as a group, but more too two by two.
This appeared both in the thoughts they expressed, but also in some letters or complaints they made to the top leadership, because as seen, they talked and gave it to each other for reading.
This is how Muhameti (Prodani-PN) was seen, who almost talked about the letter he made to the Chief Leader with everyone, Abazi gave a long letter to Sadik to read and he approved, Rrahmani gave Halim the letter he had made The main leaders of the Party, while Halimi, says Kiçua, did not give Rrahman the letter he wrote to the main leader and Rrahman is dissatisfied with that.
Also recently, it is seen that all the military are very angry with Halim and especially Vaska. Here is what Vaska Halimi said on November 2, 1984: “You have accepted all the evils”. Halimi said: “I have accepted what I have done, but I do not betray the people of the Party, as you did with all the meanings you are saying here.”
Third: How do they think now, what do they do in their minds, how far does disbelief go:
A waiting situation for forgiveness generally appears. This is more because they start from what happened two years ago and the word that the Chief Leader said. But this cannot be said to appear the same by everyone, there are those who have a belief and expect with all their might that forgiveness can be made, but there are also those who say that nothing is done and have no faith in this leadership, such as the military.
There are also those who do not want forgiveness but rehabilitation. He finally gave us a category like Kichua and Rrahmani, who say that we want to apologize for going home without pretensions, as they state, but do not pray, because they say that our work is well known by the leadership. However, they also express a disbelief that they say, it scares us and this is not a good sign of the punishment of the last military that have come here.
“The Repentant”
Clarification: Maqo Çomo, Bardhyl Belishova, Gjergj Titani, Fadil Paçrami, Todi Lubonja, Sadik Bekteshi, Vaskë Gjino, Rrahman Parllaku and Kiço Ngjela, all followed in active 2 / A processing for hostile activities.
Xhavit Qesja, Arif Hasko, Andon Sheti, Abaz Fejzo and Muhamet Prodani, have data in the general information file.
Evaluation: The report of the collaborator “The Repentant” is of operational value. It gives a picture of the current situation of convicts as anti-party elements serving sentences in Ward 321 Burrel (prison).
Task: The collaborator was instructed to maintain good relations in the category of the above and in addition to those ascertained by the collaborator, to handle conversations with the aim of learning problems of this nature and through conversations with others, especially with Kiço, who has even closer relationships, for the time being they are isolated in the room belonging to their friends, where our collaborator is missing.
The collaborator was also instructed to take advantage of the fact that he meets with the convict Bashkim Shehu, who is part of the second group of anti-party convicts, to engage in various conversations with him deliberately to learn about her views and attitudes category.
Operational Measures: The data should be printed in 15 copies and placed in the processing file and the general information file for each involved. Also report this information through an information source or by sending a copy to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
