The well-known rapper from Kosovo, Capital T, has publicly expressed his support for citizens protesting in Albania, calling on the media in Kosovo to pay more attention to critical developments in Tirana.
Through a reaction on social media, the artist emphasized the importance of fair and independent reporting, demanding that the voices of protesters not remain in the shadows. He underlined that journalism plays an essential role in reflecting the truth, highlighting possible violations and informing the public on issues of high public interest.
But after this public statement, according to an audio published by Dosja.al , Capital T was contacted by phone by a person who introduced himself as a criminal police officer in Tirana, who demanded an account of his location and date of return to Albania.
The transcript of the conversation between the officer and the artist reveals the details of this communication.
Telephone conversation:
Niko Kurti: I am an officer at Myslim Shyri in Tirana. Where are you?
Capital T: Good morning, I'm in America.
Niko Kurti: When will you return?
Capital T: I don't have a date. Ask me.
Niko Kurti: It's not a phone conversation. When did you leave for America?
Capital T: Do I have a few days?
Niko Kurti: Don't hang up on me for a second, please!
Capital T: I'm here without worry.
Niko Kurti: Listen to me now, didn't you tell me who you were?
Capital T: Who is brother looking for?
Niko Kurti: Are you Trim Ademi?
Capital T: Yes
Niko Kurti: When you come, I will ask you, explain something to you.
Capital T: Okay, what is it about?
Niko Kurti: Don't worry, we wouldn't be answering the phone if we were. When you come to Tirana, come here to work and we'll talk.
Although the content of the conversation does not specify the exact reason for this police interest, the call to one of the most well-known artists in Albania after the support given to the protests has raised strong concerns about the use of law enforcement structures to intimidate critical public voices. /Taken from Dosja.al
