His transformation behind bars "took a beating"! Ilir Meta interview

Ilir Meta was in the media spotlight this Monday, where after a long period in detention, he appeared in public for the first time during the first hearing on the merits of the trial against him and his ex-wife, Monika Kryemadhi.

The former president's appearance in the courtroom immediately attracted attention, not only for the importance of the process, but also for the noticeable change in his appearance. Significantly emaciated and with his graying hair cut very short, Meta appeared different from the image the public had created over the years. He stood behind a glass cage, facing his ex-wife and lawyer, in a session that marked the formal start of the trial in the CEZ DIA case.

After the hearing, Meta also conducted a telephone interview from detention for the show "Breaking." In his statement, he raised concerns about the handling of the case and claimed that he had been denied the right to speak, emphasizing that he has not yet been informed of the authorities' decision.

"This is a reversal of democratic practices. Now it is obligatory that the European Convention prevails over the Constitution. For example, a year has passed and I have not been given a clear decision. You have the recommendations of the Ombudsman. Colleagues have made requests and the prison directorate does not allow them. The life-sentenced prisoner in Australia has given a television interview. Everyone from the cage has spoken. The constitution gives him the right. The Helsinki Committee had been told that I was airing out twice a day ," said Meta, while this interview did not last long after the phone call with him was suddenly cut off.
