"And to celebrate this thread--here's an oldie, but goodie..."

Or why don't we look at the last few days news from Britain and see what your precious Albanians are up to - reports of them stabbing, murdering, violently robbing, rapist trafficking gangs - violence and crime in spades and in a NATO country. It's how they show their gratefulness for NATO bombing for 'saving' them. Doesn't seem the human rightsters are pressuring Britain for oppressing them and to have them released from jails as they did to Serbia for jailing Albanian criminals. It's interesting that Britain is a big pusher of the Bad Serbs/Good innocent Albanians when Albanians are so often in the violent crime reports within Britain and essential no Serbs committing any violence in Britain the last decade...or two...or three...or ever!

Murder suspect 'could be near'

Dec 20 2006
By Robert Dex

THE prime suspect in the Aaron Stokes murder investigation could be living a few miles from the victim's home,police believe.

Aaron, 24, was killed in a communal room at a homeless hostel in Queens Road, New Cross.

He had been having sex with Renata Mitre when her illegal immigrant brother, Gerald, 20, walked in on them.

Renata, originally from Albania, is said to have covered up for her brother -telling police a mystery intruder murdered Aaron.

This story gave him enough time to go into hiding.

Two violent robbers fail to have sentences cut

Dec 20 2006

THE husband of a woman violently robbed by her own brother-in-law says he is relieved the thug has failed to win a cut in his sentence.

Eddie Niyazi welcomed the judge's refusal last week to reduce Okan Gench's prison term for orchestrating the raid on his house in Shirley where his wife, Sevgul, was attacked.

The 32-year-old mum was gagged, thrown to the floor, punched in the face and stomach and had her hair chopped off.

Two other gang members entered the house posing as postal workers, put scissors to her neck and said they would cut up her baby boy if she did not tell them where the couple kept their money.

Gench, 38, from north London, had admitted his part in the crime as ringleader and getaway driver, but argued his guilty plea had not been taken into account at sentencing.

He was appealing at London's Criminal Appeal Court alongside another gang member, Panagiotis Giannopoulas, 22, of no fixed address, but both were ordered to serve their full sentences.

At Croydon Crown Court on May 25 both had admitted robbery and false imprisonment. Gench, married to Mrs Niyazi's sister, was given 12-and-a-half years in jail and Giannopoulas was given 10 years.

After being told that the appeals had been thrown out, Mr Niyazi, 32, said: "Now I know they have been refused, that's fantastic. I feel like they should have got even longer, most definitely.

"This man who I loved so much has ruined my life.My wife is mentally scarred. When the doorbell rings she starts panicking. The damage done can never be repaired."

He said the family had since sold their house in Wickham Road, but have had three house purchases fall through and are now living in one room of his mum's house in Croydon.

In sentencing the pair,the judge at Croydon Crown Court described the offence as "horrific, calculated, ruthless and cold-bloodedly executed".

The gang-of-four had gone to the house on October 5 last year where two of them, Giannopoulas and Robert Nezha, 23, tricked their way in with Nezha wearing a Parcel Force jacket and carrying a package.

Gench waited in the car while Kosovan Altin Ibrahim waited out-side. Mrs Niyazi was inside with her two-year-old son having just taken his five-year-old brother to school.

The gang fled with £8,500 in cash and a large amount of jewellery. Their car was stopped by police minutes later. Nezha received 11 years in jail and Ibrahim seven after both admitted their part in the crime.

Lord Justice Moses, Mr Justice Elias and Judge Martin Stephens rejected Gench and Giannopoulas's appeal.

Lord Justice Moses said: "Whether full credit was given or not was, in our view, immaterial. The sentence of 12-and-a-half years imprisonment for Gench for setting up this offence was fully justified.

"The sentence on Giannopoulas for entering the house and taking part in the violence visited upon the victim was fully merited. This was the most serious type of robbery in a private house one could imagine."

Sex slave gang jailed for 50 years

AN Albanian crime gang who trafficked women into this country to work as sex slaves has been jailed for more than 50 years today.

The gang of six men and one woman were found guilty by a jury at Manchester Crown Court.

The court heard the gang had worked with criminals currently being investigated by police in Lithuania to target and lure two young women living in rural villages on the false promise of work in a bar or as a cleaner in England.

But after landing on British soil, one woman was told she had been sold to Albert Rama from Enfield in Essex for £4,000 and the other that she had been sold and would be put to work in a Manchester brothel to earn him money.

Today Judge Anthony Ensor branded what they had done, an "evil trade" involving the, "degradation, exploitation and abuse" of young women who were, "naïve, unable to speak the language and without friends in an alien country."

"It is a form of 21st century slavery which is an affront to civilised society," he said.

The court heard both women managed to escape by contacting their families and police in this country.

They have now returned home to the families with the help of police and are now trying to get on with their lives.

Today police welcomed the men's sentence.

Detective Inspector Michael Fraser of Greater Manchester Police said: "Historians tell us that slavery ended 200 years ago, but these convictions highlight that slavery in the form of human trafficking for sexual exploitation is very much prevalent today.

"The suffering that the victims have had to endure is incomprehensible to the vast majority of people. I would like to extend my thanks to them.

"They have been left scarred and emotionally traumatised by their ordeals and have shown great bravery in working with the police and attending court to give evidence in a foreign Country.

"I only hope that they will now be able to rebuild their lives back in Lithuania."

Klenton Ismaili, 28, of Cross Road, Coventry was jailed for nine after being found guilty of two counts of people trafficking and inciting prostitution for gain.

He cousin Vladimir, 32, of Harnall Lane, Coventry was charged with the same offences plus blackmail and false imprisonment.

He disappeared before the trial began but was found guilty and sentenced to 14-years in his absence.

Ndricm Kaci, 27, of Park Avenue, Nuneaton was jailed for nine years for false imprisonment, causing or inciting prostitution for gain and trafficking; Sajmir Hysa, 25, is to be sentenced later today after pleading guilty to false imprisonment, controlling prostitution for gain and trafficking.

He is already in jail for a string of armed robberies.

Ilir Eezi, 35, of Wareham Street, Crumpsall was jailed for eight years After being found guilty of false imprisonment, trafficking and causing or inciting prostitution for gain.

Albert Rama, 24, of Cracknell Close, Enfield, Essex was jailed for 11 years for trafficking, inciting prostitution and two counts of rape.

The woman gang-member from Coventry was jailed for three years after being found guilty of two counts of people trafficking and causing or inciting prostitution for gain.

The judge gave her a more lenient sentence because he said she had once been a victim herself and was under pressure.

Merry Christmas, Joan. Neither this thread nor what I posted was about Albanians. My post was simply poking fun at the absurd lengths so many Serbs will go to deny the reality of their murderous depredations against both their Christian and Muslim neighbors in the Balkans Wars of the 1990s.

However, since you brought up the Albanians, it is true that I and most Americans are grateful for their steadfast support in the War on Terror--troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq since the beginning; here's a photo:
