The Joint Panels of the Supreme Court, in a meeting after many years, today reviewed the change in judicial practice for imposing the measure of arrest in prison.
In a direct link to "Top Story", journalist Anila Hoxha said that justice is finally being put into motion, starting from the case of a citizen whom the Appeals Court returned to prison after his release.
Hoxha said that from the Deputy Prosecutor General's submissions today at the High Court, it was understood that in principle the Prosecution agrees to a review of the 2011 decision, but the "fear" is how applicable alternative measures are in Albania.
" Finally, justice is being put into motion for the case of a citizen, the security measure has been relaxed. The scheme of who bears the burden of proof, which in Albanian justice is assigned to the Prosecution, has been overturned. When it raises charges, it must prove these charges. The parties should have equality of "arms", although it is an international principle. What was understood by the Deputy Prosecutor General was that the Prosecution also agrees to have a review of the 2011 decision.
However, he added some conditions, we must take into account who guarantees alternative measures, not detention. This is a submission that will embarrass Albanian institutions. The state also guarantees the circumstances for other measures. He recalled the high public interest, along with the guarantees that the constitution offers with the rights of the citizen , "said Hoxha.
