Memorie.al/ publishes some archival documents extracted from the Central State Archive in Tirana (fund of the former Central Committee of PPSh), which belong to the year 1971 and are part of a file, where the Deputy Minister of Internally, Feçor Shehu, through an information report, sent to the secretary of the Central Committee of the PPS, Ramiz Alia, informs him in detail about the attitude and behavior of some Palestinian students, such as Muhamed Sherabili, Hasan Suljemani, Uaid Isan, Hasan Igjae, etc., who at that time studied with scholarships from the Albanian government, at the State University of Tirana. Why did the Palestinian student, Hasan Sulejmani, tell the citizen Ermir Ç. that there are political and ideological contradictions among the Palestinian students? In a meeting held by these students, Uaid Isa and Muhammed Sherabil, they demanded accountability from Hasan Suleiman and his friend, Hasan Igja, for the reason that the former expressed the view that: The Palestinian revolution will win, if cleared of thieves and spies’?! What is said in the secret document formulated by the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Feçor Shehu, sent to the secretary of the Central Committee of PPSh, Ramiz Alia, regarding the actions of the deputy director of the “Traktori” Plant, Muhamet Perja, who had allowed German tourists, to photograph the artillery pieces, which are in the premises of that factory, and how was that problem solved?!

On the attitude of some Palestinian students.

The Palestinian student, Hasan Sulejmani, told the citizen E. Çepani, that there are political and ideological contradictions among the Palestinian students. In a meeting held by these students, Uaid Isa and Muhammed Sherabil, they demanded accountability from Hasan Suleimani and his friend, Hasan Igja, for the reason that the former expressed the view that: the Palestinian revolution will win, yes it was cleared of thieves and spies.
While the second, he wrote about these contradictions to his brother who is studying in Poland. Speaking at this meeting, Muhamed Sherabili said: “Why Hasan Igjase wrote a letter to his brother about these differences, without getting our approval. Does he not know that here we live in a police state, where there is censorship as well as letters open”.
Hasan Sulejmani opposed Muhammed Sherabil for his views, saying: “We are in a country where they consider us friends. Albania builds and lives with its sweat and from this sweat, it gives us a scholarship, so it is a shame that we spit in this way, the bread that is given to us”. As for the one he has called a thief and a spy, meant the functionary of Al Fatah in Cairo.
Interrupting Hasan Sulejmani, Muhamed Sherabili asked him ironically: “Since when did your master become a Marxist-Leninist and where did you import these thoughts”?! Hasan Sulejmani considers Muhammed Sherabil and Uaid Isa as negative persons, who, together with three other students, have prepared a report for him to send to Al Fatah in Cairo.
An uncle of Sherabil served in the Israeli police in Gaza, and was shot after being captured by Palestinian partisans. As for Uaid Isai, he is the grandson of the functionary of Al Fatah in Cairo. He speaks badly of our country and emphasizes that the Palestinian revolution is being helped by the Soviet Union, that Trotsky was not a traitor, etc.
Waidi and the Al Fatah official in Cairo, Hassan says must be secret agents of the Egyptian police. The Al Fatah functionary then called Hasan Sulejman and canceled his departure to Albania, appointing another who was known as a secret agent of the Jordanian bodies and who was later arrested, causing Hasan to come to Albania.
The citizen E. Çepani also denounces that the Lebanese student Muhamed Emini told him that: apart from Hasan Sulejmani and Hasan Izgja, the other Palestinian students do not speak well of Albania.

On 28.7.1971, the “Tractor” Factory was visited by a group of German friends who, after passing through the factory, stood next to four cannons covered with raincoats and which are there for the military training of the workers of that factory, and asked to look at them.
Despite the attendant’s hesitations, the deputy director of the plant, Muhamet Perja, ordered him to be allowed to see them. The cannons were discovered and seen by them. One of the friends has photographed all the mechanisms of the ball.
In relation to the above, we think it would be appropriate to ask your friends to take the photographic film they made at the “Tractor” plant.
It would also be good to order the companions of foreign delegations, and the managers of the enterprises visited by them, not to allow the photography of these objects.
Since the members of the groups visiting our country have had cases of wearing miniskirts, we think you should remind them that our people cannot honor those types of clothes. The group was accompanied by Pano Lula, tourism employee./Memorie.al
