The State Department confirmed they have officially addressed our concerns with the Greek government. This is a massive win for everyone who stood up for basic human rights.
The petition with signatures will be sent to the United States Department of State Secretary Mr. Colin Powell on June 20, 2004, World Refugee Day appealing the basic human rights of Albanian Immigrants!_________________________________________________
On Friday, January 23, 2004, many Albanians organized by the New Albanian Generation Organization gathered in front of the United Nations to protest against the Greek Government and Authorities, which have continuously mistreated and even killed Albanians on the Albanian-Greek borders as well as on the Greek soil. The most flagrant case is the killing of a teenager, Vullnet Bytyci, on the Albanian-Greek border. We appeal as follows:
1. The Greek Government and Authorities should immediately and irrevocably stop the killing and torture campaign against the Albanians, who are contributing for the Greek economic prosperity making an honest living in the Greek soil.
2. The Greek Government and Authorities should take all the necessary and immediate legal and administrative measures to secure compliance with its ratified international laws and institutions\' measures. It is unacceptable for an EU-member-state to persist the killing and torturing of Albanian immigrants and on the other hand, to expose itself as the country where all the immigrants
The stories coming in regarding border incidents are devastating. Behind the scenes we are preparing the final report for the State Department.

DISGUSTING behavior. These people work hard and help the economy but get treated like dirt. Sickening.

EU needs to step in and hold them accountable. Greece cannot just act like this and get away with it.

Justice for Vullnet Bytyci. My heart goes out to his family. The police there have zero respect for human life when it comes to Albanians.
