Apparently, one of the main principles of a democratic system is the freedom of expression, that is to say, people are politically and legally guaranteed to express their opinions, disagree with the government and its policies, as well as expose the flaws and discrepancies of the system itself, without excluding anyone, including other nations’ governments and international agencies.
I am Sabri Lushi, an Albanian citizen and the co-founder along with my brother Nderim Lushi of the online blog KUKESPOST.com, which contains personal and genuine opinions about the Canadian judicial system, Canada, the USA and its international policies, the United Kingdom and its international policies, as well as it focuses a great deal on raising questions and promoting an intellectual approach to justice, democracy, human rights, and historical topics.
Admittedly, there is a level of criticism towards the US Government, the British Royals, the Canadian Judiciary, the Canadian Government, as well as their international policies, especially with relation to terrorism and genocidal wars, opinions which I personally enjoy to share with the public as I am an ardent and staunch believer in free speech and intellectualism.
It seems that the leaders of the free world [or aren’t they?] continue to be so as long as free speech does not target them. Once the finger is pointed at them, they show the true face of tyranny and oppression, speaking of which, my brother Nderim Lushi, as the co-founder of KUKESPOST.com, has been under investigation by the Prosecution Office of Kukes, and, during the meetings with the judicial officers, their concern about KUKESPOST.com has been brought to attention.
Even though the Prosecution Office has announced that in the coming Monday, April, 20, 2026, will discontinue the investigation, obviously due to lack of evidence to substantiate the allegations; however, the process itself is indicative of a hostile approach of the Government of the Republic of Albania and the Albanian judicial system towards free speech and the right to share independent opinions. This is very disturbing and does not stand well with an independent judicial system.
Dear President of the Supreme Court Sokol Sadushi and General Prosecutor Olsian Çela, even though Albania has gone though a very painful communist past, when free speech was outlawed for more than five decades, it seems that our country is not distancing itself once and for all from that horrible political culture.
The political system should not be afraid of free speech and free people. The very purpose of free speech is to disagree, to point the finger at corruption and governmental policies, to criticize the judicial system itself, including those of other countries, such as Canada where I live currently, and even to raise historical questions.
The Albanian Prosecution Service and the Judicial System should and ought to investigate and go after those who harm other citizens and those politicians who steal and misuse and abuse the wealth of the Albanian citizens.
Indeed, free speech intends to disturb the ruling elite while in a democratic country the power belongs to people, doesn’t it? So, you are supposed to serve the people, not the ruling elite or our international partners, or certain embassies, such as the US Embassy and the United Kingdom Embassy in Tirana because they might feel targeted by free speech and the opinions of Albanian citizens.
This letter written in English is meant to be sent to you directly by email and to be published on KUKESPOST.com in order to share this concern with the public.
I conclude it by thanking you for all the good work you do in order to serve the Albania people and being convinced that you will understand my concern and my position as a lay citizen and supporter of free speech.
With gratitude,
Sabri Lushi
