Imam Bekir Halimi considers the non grata declaration by the Albanian authorities an injustice.
In his first public reaction after the verdict, he says he has received dozens of messages of support and that he will continue to seek justice.
"Today, all day long after the news of my name being declared persona non grata came out, I had numerous phone calls from many friends, well-wishers, intellectuals, journalists and businessmen concerned by this decision.
I thank all those who have called and written to me and I say to them, may Allah reward you, have mercy on you and make you happy. It is sad when injustice is done, especially to those people who have dedicated their lives to raising religious awareness among our people and making a patriotic contribution to our national development.
That's how life is.
We will continue to seek justice and fight injustices and we will try to continuously contribute to building just and functional states where every citizen will feel honored and privileged with guaranteed rights and economic well-being, with a comfortable life where we demonstrate patriotism and patriotism, educating children with faith and honor so that they can continue to contribute to making our states better and more advanced. Let's not allow our young people to abandon this country. Let's hope this injustice and mistake is corrected as soon as possible", said Halimi.
The Ministry of Interior on Tuesday declared Bekir Halimi and analyst Valon Bela non grata, banning them from entering Albania for 10 years, following information from Anti-Terror structures that their activity posed a threat to national security.
