The sixth 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, originating from the village of Bulshar in Oroshi of Mirdita and living in Bushnesh and 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) , continued even during the period he was in camps and prisons, such as in Spaç, where after the revolt of May 1973, Gjeta was sentenced again, as he was the main ideator for raising the flag without the communist star, continuing then in the prison of Burrel, with the reports-information of the 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, Kapllan Resuli, B come 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 collapse 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 the “Mountain Swallow” in 1990, which will be reflected in full, as they are in the relevant files.

Don’t be upset that 1970 came and everything will come to an end, Albania will go bankrupt as a state, this is what Frroku said, I know that when I was in Yugoslavia what the Yugoslavs told us, apart from this, Frroku said that; I was also told this by a friend of mine in Tirana, who was told by a friend of his who is an officer in the army, that everything will soon come to an end, Frroku continued saying that; as we have suffered we shall suffer no more.
When we were in Yugoslavia, said Frroku, a fugitive named Nik Sokoli told us that; those of you who are going to Albania, you will suffer once, but later you will not suffer, stay strong and do not be afraid of difficulties. But Getta at this time, answered saying, that; worse than we are, we have nowhere to go, but it will not stay like this anymore, this regime will change, the conversation between them will no longer continue.

“Mbrehija”
Task:
Meet with Gjeta and in the conversation tell me, that friend of yours who was there that night, told us a lot of things, that the year 1970 will bring the end of other things, do you mean, Gjet, did he have it in his mind, or did he just talk about it? after the turn, how does your mind take you, because you know him well, despite the fact that you, to some extent, support him, do you think these words are safe, or useless chatter, because for myself, I can’t get enough of it that we were filled with these things, we talk about making a shroud for ourselves, this with the purpose of what Gjeta means.
Whenever you have the opportunity, meet with Frrok again, and connecting the conversation, talk again about this same conversation that you had, saying that; our dreams don’t come true when, these just come, they are getting stronger every day, that’s what Frroku means.
Giver’s explanation:
Data of B.p. must be believed, for the reason that this B.p. he also provided other materials in the direction of Gjeta and they turned out to be true. Gjet Kadeli, his father and brother escaped abroad and an uncle is in prison, he is originally from Mirdita, Gjeta is currently processed for the tendency to escape and as a link to the legacy, there are many movements but mostly in Rrëshen.
Frroku, as the giver, is Gjeta’s friend, he was on the run and has been repatriated, nothing is known from our side about his attitude today, Rrëshen’s friends will explain this to us, after all, as the giver, we have to do with two important people, for the reason that, with whom Frroku has been on the run, he can help Gjeta to escape again.
Operational measures:
For Frok, let’s correspond with the Rreshen Branch about what kind of person he is, if this is a suspicious person in his direction, direct the agency to see how he reacts and what he says about Gjet Kadel.

Report dated 9/4/1969
The source announces that four days ago, Palok Ujka, Gjet Kadeli and Gjon Hoti went to his house for dinner, during the conversations that took place, Gjoni told about an N/Officer in Spaçi Camp who, being very mean, where said that our policemen are nothing, whereas in America, the policemen have an academy and are very cultured, they can hold a man or two without moving from the country.
At this time, Gjeta said that these are vile horas, who have left nothing undone, until today, from there Gjeta continued saying that; a lot of damage has been done by this earthquake that fell from the south, but if it had fallen in Tirana, this earthquake would very well have wiped out those people who talk from the chair and do not think about the people at all, but also Tirana, would it’s your turn and it will shake well. The conversation did not continue any longer.
“Çezma e Trojës”
Task:
Meet with Gjeta and in conversations with him, learn his grievances and what he says specifically, does he have these conversations again with his friends or, only the people who hang out with Gjeta, what do they say and do they follow his words, the same people, what they talk about and with whom they keep in touch.
These things that Gjeta says, from whom he hears them, he says them from his mind or, he hears them on the radio, have no connection with any other person.
Giver’s explanation:
The people with whom Gjeta maintains ties today have a bad attitude, but they act according to Gjeta’s instructions, since this is the most important. The Gjeta data we have received and are receiving now, are the same, confirm each other that this is a strong enemy element, therefore this must be under complete control, as well as its connections.

Report dated 28/08/1969
The source announces that, in a conversation with Gjet Kadel, on 10/8/1969, Gjeta told him that today, no one will put you in prison, if you speak whatever you want, it is important not to speak in the presence of any x to a person and from there to become a witness, this especially when there are two people, while when it is a person, i.e. just for just, it doesn’t matter.
In continuation of the conversation, Gjeta told him that; a few days ago, the Branch President called me in Krujë and told me that; Why don’t you Gjet help the Party and the state because you have the opportunities, then he told me that you Gjet, you are in the center of Mamurras, where there are many people dissatisfied with the people’s power. At this time Gjeta said, I answered you saying that; pay me so that the people know that I am paid for this work, otherwise, as you ask, I have no opportunity to go and talk about useless topics for people.
In conclusion, the Chairman told me that we do the most work with people who are enemies and work with us and they have not left a single criminal, without leaving him in our hands, then Gjeta said, the Chairman turned to me and he told me that; we have a lot of information about you, saying that you Gjeta wanted to flee abroad, while I said Gjeta, for this I answered you saying that; I wanted you to run away, you didn’t have me here anymore, but I had run away in good time and if I make it up in my mind by running away, you won’t find out at all.
From there Gjeta continues saying that; these things are not true, because I am planning such a thing, I will not tell anyone until the last second that I cross the border, because if you tell someone, he immediately informs the border and get caught, at this time he tells him that; you Gjet, you are trying with many people, therefore, when you are in need, come to me, just as I come to you, we cry together.
The source announces that, on 20/8/1969, in the meeting he had with Gjeta, at the work in Spërdhet, Gjeta told him that; they asked me for my cousin’s daughter-in-law, to whom I am engaged, to introduce her to the Youth organization, but I told her not to get involved in any way, because she doesn’t need that job, even some friends of the Party , they had pressured her to enter youth, but she had not accepted, according to my orders, he tells her at this time; what if you take Gjeta, she talks to you somewhere and says that Gjeta prevented me from entering Rini, what will you do?! I found that; she is determined and not a single word escapes from her mouth, Palok Ujka’s daughter tells her that she does not expect people to trust her. I no longer continue the conversation with Gjeta about this problem.
The source announces that, on 23/08/1969, he met with Gjeta at the water line in Spërdhet, in the conversations we had with Gjeta, there were also several other people, such as: Zef Gjergji from Mamurrasi, Mihill Ndreka, Dod Paçuku and he, in the conversations, Gjeta told about some letters that his father had sent him from America and in one letter, he told me that in America, apartments are being built 100 and 150 stories high that, you can’t imagine what buildings are being made there today and how far life is there. The find below went on to say that; these of ours, do not speak well of them, for the reason that he who is poor and backward, does not have the luxury of one who is in order and to speak the reality that is.
Task
Continue to meet with Gjeta and in conversations with him, talk once again about the work of his call to Branch e, where the purpose was by telling him that; I don’t care if they said that, because you and I are affected by this power. Above all, you Gjet, that day you only surprised me about the work of escape that they mentioned, do you say you have anything in this direction and, if you have given up this work, then close the door of the house and yourself, as long as you are alive.
In conversations with him, talk about his father’s work, whether he received any letters and what he says.
See how Gjeta keeps in touch with Zef Gjergjin and how they conduct activities together.
Clarification of the giver
The information is of particular importance, for the fact that, as Gjeta says, it is for his call to the Branch, but he has added some things behind his back. Gjeta, B.p., has told him what was discussed with them and about our proposal that you yourself have asked to cooperate with our bodies, but so far, you have not given any other.
As for the tendency to escape, he was not told, this was said by Gjeta himself, it seems that he intends such a thing since, all that he says, that life in America is good, leaves you doubting that , this one has a tendency to run away, recently, this one has left the cooperative and does not work at all. From our side, this has been taken under full agent control, to see his every move./Memorie.al
