Democratic MP Agron Gjekmarkaj has reacted on social media to the opposition protest, where he ended up in the hospital.
In a reaction on social media, Gjekmarkaj says that he and his companion were raped by the police, and as a result he lost his feelings.
Gjekmarkaj writes that he never asked for victimization, but felt insulted by the official police statement, which he calls disinformation.
Reaction:
I would not have reacted to what happened to me yesterday at the protests if the state police had not insulted me twice with their public and disinformation statement!
I do not like or ask for victimization! In fact, I have never in my life asked for or instigated physical confrontations! I have never attacked anyone! Yesterday I simply defended myself. Found in front of a small car with my escort, a guard employee, who was also mistreated even though I showed them my identification document, I was surrounded by a large group of police officers!
I told you not to touch me, I am Agron Gjekmarkaj, Deputy Speaker of the Assembly of the Republic, MP, University lecturer with gentleness almost with humor, I am not known for physical strength I do not do gym, so be careful! They pushed me brutally, with a lot of force, even broke the mirror of the car, almost lifting me into the air!
My escort pulled me with great difficulty and a boy from Lezha through the police officers as I felt my breathing slowing down! As soon as I got out of the crowd of police officers pulling me to the others I lost consciousness! I did not feel bad because I had health problems but as a consequence of the police actions! I didn’t leave the protest because I wanted to leave, but they forced me, I didn’t leave to go to a cafe or home but to the hospital!
I remember the ferocity in the eyes of two or three police officers, their zeal like the time when opposition MPs were arrested in 1946, they thought it was unfair that someone dared to protest against their power because they see power as their thing, why not even as an instrument of violence! Anyway, they couldn’t push a MP like that without a political order!
I take advantage of this sad occasion to thank all those who are close to me, the protesters, the democrats and citizens of Lezha, the leaders and deputies of the DP, the doctors of the military hospital and those of the QSUT for the examinations and service, I thank the friendly and well-known centers from the country and the world for the flood of messages that I have received from them despite the inability to respond individually!
I express my deep regret for all the injured and detained who strive for a better Albania who did not receive the attention that I received! We are not afraid!
Today we are on Christmas Eve! May they be white for you and all Albanians! The rest will be better!
Agron Gjekmarkaj
Deputy Speaker of the Assembly of the Republic
Deputy Speaker of the Democratic Party of Albania!
