"Held in complete isolation"/ Lawyer: Veliaj is not provided with

From Fier prison, after meeting with the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, lawyer Plarent Ndreca stated that it has not yet been possible to obtain documentation that proves his client's health condition, describing the situation as absurd.

According to the lawyer, Veliaj continues to remain in the hospital premises, in complete isolation and without communicating with anyone, as if he were a dangerous person.

"The saga of obtaining medical documents continues. It is an absurd situation. I still have not received a copy of the X-ray and the resonance to consult with doctors. I cannot explain how an institution does not provide information to the patient about what the doctors have found."

It is an incomprehensible health persecution and I don't know how we will continue. This is bringing consequences that we don't know how to assess as long as we don't have the documents to make a medical assessment. 

"He continues to be in the hospital, isolated. He doesn't meet anyone. He doesn't talk to anyone. He has no way to communicate with anyone. When Veliaj goes out for air, the other cells are closed as if a dangerous character is coming out ," said Ndreca.

Regarding Erion Veliaj's request to participate in the Socialist Party Assembly, Ndreca described it as a legitimate request of a member of this political force.

Regarding the request to establish an investigative commission, the lawyer explained that it is an initiative that aims to investigate allegations of threats, which Veliaj has raised as a concern.

Ndreca also focused on the Socialist Party's stance on the mayoral issue, emphasizing that he is not aware of an official stance of the political force, but only of individual stances.

"I don't know if there is a position of the Socialist Party regarding the Veliaj issue, but individual positions. The Socialist Party is a democratic and collegial party ," declared Ndreca.
