Pal Thani graduated from the University of Modena in Italy. He was accused of opposing the regime and arrested, ultimately dying under torture in prison. His family was not given his body, nor were they provided with information about his burial. Several other family members experienced the same fate, enduring endless prisons, exiles, and disappearances or executions without any graves.
After the 1990s, the Thani family sought information about his execution and burial site, but despite their continuous searches, they were never able to find it. The Thani family is one of many that, after enduring a long ordeal of suffering and persecution, continue to search for the missing graves of their loved ones, whose only fault was holding political views that differed from the regime. This video testimony was recorded by journalist Luljeta Progni as part of the engagement of the Institute of Political Studies (ISP).
ISP is implementing the project “Victims of the border: Information and awareness for the victims of murders and disappearances during border escapes throughout the years 1988-1991”, which is supported by the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP), through a grant funded by the European Union in Albania.
