Just a few hours after the first session of the trial on the merits, former President Ilir Meta gave a telephone interview from detention for the show "Breaking" on Top News with Dafina Hysa.
Meta reiterated that he was denied the right to speak, while saying that he has not yet been informed of the decision.
"This is a reversal of democratic practices. Now there is an obligation 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 person in Australia has given a television interview. Everyone from the cage has spoken. The constitution gives you the right. The Helsinki Committee was told that I was doing airing twice a day ," Meta said.
But after this statement, Meta's call was disconnected.
