On January 14, 2012, a physical assault, which is believed to have been premeditated and staged during a protest organised of the party ‘Self-Determination’ at the border crossing ‘Dheu i Bardhë’ that links Kosovo with the Presheva Valley in southern Serbia, had knocked-out a journalist on official duty.
there were more than two people involved in an attempt to perpetrate the journalist, one of them is identified as Faruk Ibrahimi in the police uniform, while other persons in civilian clothing who are suspected to be members of the Kosovo Police, have not been identified yet due to lack of interest of the investigating authority to identify and investigate them, therefore, they have escaped the possibility of turning into subject of a judicial procedure, which would require legal accountability if found guilty.
Police Faruk Ibrahimi, when deliberately attacked journalist Vedat Xhymshiti, (which during that time as a journalist was performing his official duties assigned by the British agency Demotix.com) was driver of Regional chief-commander of Gjilan police station. The event had occurred in the responsibility area of the police station of Kamenica. His Commander, is believed to have been stationed in Gjilan at the time of the assassination attempt. An act which, appears that he might have had obtained the necessary permission from his boss, to be at the crime-scene.
This is a short-documentary film produced by the Youth initiative for Human Rights in Kosovo.
