"Police To Be Sued For Kidnapping, Minister Kushi To Resign" Says Education Expert
The Minister of Education, Evis Kushi, said the day before that the juvenile protesters will be identified in schools and will be offered psychological help.
This statement was considered a very big mistake by the education expert Ndriçim Mehmeti who described it as persecution and pure discrimination.
Ndriçim Mehmeti for Ora News: This is persecution and pure discrimination. First a minister has no right to identify, it is not her job. The minister has a duty to provide psychological assistance, 12 months of the year, not only in such cases. The Minister has the duty to set up a psycho-social body as promised in her law on the development of education.
As she said ‘we will’ double but they have never doubled. Tracking in schools is abnormal and the minister is acting like a militant. What does it mean to identify? You catch one by one and you say you were in protest and what did you do?
He said that the Minister of Education instead of this move should file a criminal charge for kidnapping and ill-treatment committed by the state police through civilians against juvenile protesters.
Ndriçim Mehmeti for Ora News: Protest is a legitimate right, it is the right of every individual and we learn this in class. In pre-university education we teach them how to protest, what they should protest about, why they should protest.
Now what will he identify them for? The Minister of Education had to file a criminal charge for kidnapping the person committed by the state police. Unidentified persons, in civilian clothes, whose identity is unknown, have abducted persons, mistreated them, detained them in the police station of detention facilities in miserable conditions, without assistance, without food.
Psychological help was to begin there. Which he did not do. With that said, it is enough for a minister to reflect the next day and resign.
