The family continues to seek the dawn of its fate and the location of the bones in hopes of laying a tomb.
In the case of this anniversary, his son, Ardian Hoxha, has reiterated the call to justice bodies in Albania, demanding the complete whitelight of the case and the identification of the country where his father’s remains are located.
On October 21, 1995, my father, Remzi Hoxha, was kidnapped from his work site in mid- Tirana at the point of day by Sali Berisha’s men. He was tortured, killed and his body disappeared. The Albanian court has said that with a firm decision. So the state knows who took him, who tortured him and who killed him. One thing he hasn’t told us for 31 years: where they left him, Ardian Hoxha has declared.
The family’s appeal calls for Albanian institutions to take concrete steps to clear up the issue. The family is specifically directed to the Prosecutor and Prosecutor’s Office against Corruption and Organised Crime ( SPAK, seeking the opening of archives of the former National Information Service ( SHICH, the resumption of bone – finding research and questioning of people who might know about the event.
Ardian Hoxha has also called on Albania’s prime minister not to remain silent in the face of this issue, which has been weighing on the family for three decades. According to him, their demand is not about revenge or political interests, but about the right to learn the truth and give father a grave.
Remzi Hoxha, originally from Northern Macedonia and the activist of the Albanian national issue, lived in Albania since 1992. On October 21, 1995, he was abducted by people in civilian clothing. The vehicle used at the event was reportedly linked to SHIK at the time.
The investigation concluded that Hoxha had died in October 1995 as a result of torture exercised by intelligence workers. However, his body was not found and the possible location of the bones was not determined.
In November 2012, the Court for Criminals in Albania sentenced Ilir Godbaron to 15 years in prison for the kidnapping and murder case of Remzi Hoxha. Meanwhile, Arben Sefgjini and Avni Koldashi were convicted but benefited from amnesty.
