Dear Sir,

Yesterday Mr. Alajdin Demiri (*), the president of the local government in the municipality of Tetova in Macedonia was arrested from macedonian police. This is another attack of Macedonian regime on Albanian political leaders, and another attempt to overthrow them from the political scene by using brutal violence, even though Albanians there and also their leaders are already discriminated in every aspect.

We appeal for any kind of help you can offer by using all your influence, in order to release Mr. Demiri and in this way to help stopping this kind of violent attacks.

Sincerely Yours,

Albin Kurti, spokesman of UPSUP

(*) Alajdin Demiri is a member of the Transnational Radical Party
