Για τον Κωνσταντίνο Κατσίφα / For our fallen comrade Kostas Katsifas, 28.10.18

Описание: Konstantinos Katsifas was a 35-year-old ethnic Greek, who was born in Northern Epirus’ village of Burat (Vouliarates), close to the Greek-Albanian border.Katsifas had become target by Albanians due to his active role in the ethnic minority issues of the Greeks in Albania. People from his village say that the police was constantly provoking him and dragging him to the police station for no reason. On 28th October (OXI Greek national holiday),albanian police attempted to bring down a Greek flag the man has hoisted. Four secret policemen approached him and one of them showed him his gun, according to local people… After that point he went and took his gun and had been shooting in the air. Albanian Special Forces (RENEA) which were brought in along with a helicopter encircled him, captured him, and dragged him for 70-80 metres and then shot him dead. Policemen of (Albanian Special Forces) “responded” with a bullet to the head and another to the chest of the Greek man. Katsifas shouted “Long live Hellas” as he took his last breath. After his death much of the information appears to have been covered up by the Albanian side.His wounds were cleaned and stitched. The mother of Katsifas said that Albanian police broke down the door and raided her home shortly after her son was killed. She said that the entire incident was designed “first of all to intimidate the Greek community”. “They wanted to break down my child…I will remain strong
for Greece and Northern Epirus."
