Meta talks about life in prison: I wash with cans, because water takes an hour to come. There are noble people here!

The leader of the Freedom Party, Ilir Meta, has given a long interview to "Ora News" where he admitted that he was sentenced to 10 days in prison to not participate in sports activities. The reason was a phone interview conducted outside of the designated hours.

"Yes, this "historic" decision is true and was communicated to me today by the Disciplinary Committee at the IEPV "Jordan Misja", allegedly because I had made a phone call at 8:20 PM, when calls are allowed until 8:00 PM."

I didn't know about this strict schedule because I would certainly respect it. In fact, the ban on my sports activity (ping-pong) for 10 days was due to the interview I gave to your colleague Beti Njuma.

I called Mr. Tedi Blushi, with whom I am in constant contact, who was conducting a live interview with him and of course I could not avoid asking Ms. Njuma questions, out of respect not only for her high professional integrity but also for her passion for mountain climbing.

"Despite the "historical sentence", be assured that my interviews will not stop, on the contrary, they will now be even more frequent," said Meta.

He also spoke about the difficulties of spending 8 months in prison.

"I personally feel in top shape like never before. I exercise several times a day and read and write a lot, I have learned many new things, since I have never lived in a dormitory. I have met (although very few), wonderful and noble people who are here only for false statistics" - said Meta.

Asked how he copes with the heat, Meta says that water only comes for 1-2 hours a day.

"This is not a challenge for me because I have a problem with the air conditioner and not the heat. There really is no water now, here in the middle of Tirana, even 12 years after the promise of the Republic of Albania, but when 1 or 2 hours come, we fill the cans to wash ourselves," said Meta.
