Homeland Security says it will deliver Albanian who named political
assassins into their hands

The Albanian who publicly announced the names of the assassins who
killed Albanian Democratic Party leader Azem Hajdari will be deported
to Albania, said Kevin Czechowicz, deportation officer for the Dallas
district of the Department of Homeland Security.
Rrustem Neza fled to the United States, but was prevented by his
previous attorney from presenting the facts of his case when he
appeared before an immigration judge to ask for asylum. As a result,
the immigration judge denied his asylum application and he now is in
jail under a final order of deportation. His two brothers Xhemal and
Ismet, who subsequently presented their cases to an immigration judge,
both were granted asylum.
Mr. Czechowicz took Rrustem Neza to the Dallas-Fort Worth airport to
deport him to Albania last week, but he pleaded for his life so loudly
that airline officials would not let him board the plane. Czechowicz
said that he will take Mr. Neza to the airport again, and will deport
him. At present, Mr. Neza is detained by the DHS at the contract
prison in Haskell, Texas.
To date, Mr. Neza never has been allowed to present the facts of his
case to an immigration judge. The Board of Immigration Appeals denied
his motion to reopen on account of his previous attorney's
ineffectiveness. A petition for review is pending in the Court of
Appeals for the 11th Circuit, but DHS could deport Mr. Neza before the
11th Circuit makes a decision.
Desperately trying to save his brother's life, Xhemal Neza has been
talking to everyone who will listen about the danger to Rrustem. He
even asked for the help of Senator Kay Bailey Hutcheson, but her
office said the Senator had no power to intervene.
It was Rrustem's brother Xhemal who told him the names of the killers,
after Xhemal personally witnessed the machine-gunning of Hajdari and
his bodyguards. Rrustem told the names of the killers to a crowd at a
meeting in the Albanian city of Tropoje while Xhemal was unconscious
in a hospital in the capital city Tirana, after Xhemal was injured by
police fire during a demonstration protesting the assassination.
The assassins were associated with both the ruling Socialist Party and
Hajdari's rival for Democratic Party leadership Sali Berisha. Xhemal
and Rrustem hid from the police with two of their cousins, both of
whom were murdered before they could flee from Albania.
At the hearing on Rrustem's asylum application in Miami, the
immigration judge doubted that the cousins had been murdered. The
official death certificates of both cousins and a newspaper account of
the murder of one of them were available to prove the truth, but
Rrustem's attorney was unaware of them and did not show them to the
immigration judge.
All pleadings, affidavits, and other evidence are available for
inspection and copying at the office of Rrustem's present attorney
John Wheat Gibson. They include a detailed, sworn, account of the
murder of Hajdari, and the course of Rrustem's asylum application in
the immigration court.
Gibson's telephone number is (214)748-6944. Xhemal Neza may be
reached at (936)676-8460.
