Shukri Buja, Halil Çadraku and Sokol Bashota were among the former members of the Kosovo Liberation Army, who for about 5 years were under investigation by the Specialized Prosecutor's office.
However, during the last year, when the same had traveled to The Hague to testify in the judicial process against the former leaders of the KLA accused of war crimes, it was announced that the investigations against them had stopped.
The period of many years under investigation, according to the lawyer Taulant Hodaj, is a violation of the rights of the defendants, while he says that there are still people who are under investigation by the prosecution.
"Now we had the opportunity to raise the same case in front of the court, as I was in the Special Court, and there we complained to the court that it has been over five years and it is a violation of the suspect's rights to be held hostage as a suspect for over five years, without having a decision to raise the indictment or stop the investigations", Hodaj declared for RTV Dukagjini.
Lawyer Artan Qerkini also sees this as unfair, who says that the Specialized Prosecutor's Office has always reasoned that there is no set time for the completion of investigations.
"It was necessary earlier due to the legal security of a person, it was necessary earlier for the investigations to be stopped, but the Prosecution has repeatedly reasoned that the cases are complex, that from the time when the crimes are alleged to have been committed and the time when they are being investigated, there a long period has passed and they have difficulties in finding evidence", stated Qerkini.
The television has also asked the Office of the Specialized Prosecutor in The Hague about the number of persons against whom investigations have been stopped, but they have said that they do not discuss anything about their investigations.
Sali Mustafa and Pjetër Shala have already been convicted by the Specialized Chambers for Kosovo for war crimes, while the judicial process continues against Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selim./Dukagjini/
