This article discusses a transcribed document from 1984 written by the Marxist Leninist Organization of Kosovo dedicated to the Albanian martyrs of usuf Gërvalla, Kadri Zeka Bardhosh Gërvalla, Rexhep Malaj, Nuhi Berisha and Bajram Bahtiri.

Transcribed:

“It’s been four, or rather two years since the Yugoslav fascist police, this enslaving symbol of the peoples, killed your best sons, Jusuf, Kadri and Bardhoshi, Rexhepi, Nuhiu and Bajram.

These are your sons, a brave people, born from your womb and raised and nurtured in the Motherland of martyred Kosovo.

January, the month of terror and massacre. The month of sacrifice, self-sacrifice and heroism. The month when the snow turns red with blood. A month that will be remembered for life and eternity, having written glorious pages in the history of the people.

January 1982

This is the time when a savage fascist terror unprecedented in the contemporary world was exercised over the entire Albanian people under Yugoslavia, when the criminal hand of the Yugoslav fascist UDB killed three of Your best sons in exile; where they had gone out to help Your just fight for freedom, Albanian people!

These were Your sons, loyal to death, who traveled through the metropolises of the West with an unquenchable longing for You and Mother Kosovo. For you, brave and generous people, their hearts beat until the end of their lives. For you, their hearts were written, torn by longing and pain. For you, O people, they even gave their lives, watering the foreign land with blood for Your freedom and that of the Fatherland.

January 1984

And again January, this month of terror and massacre and heroism. Your sons, O people of the holy Kosovo, even in the wild winter of 1984, did not stand by the fireplace and boil bread under a blanket, but worked tirelessly for a brighter day. They crowned their work with heroic resistance in the war with the Yugoslav fascists, leaving us the best example of sacrifice, self-sacrifice and bravery in the war for freedom, of how to fight and die for the Homeland. They were,

Rexhepi, Nuhiu and Bajrami, who shook the foundations of the fascist-Titoist regime of Belgrade with their cries of freedom. They were the ones who revived the hopes of the entire people’s struggle for freedom. They appeared to the Fatherland as Your most worthy sons, repeating the heroism of Perlat Rexhepi, Vojo Kushi and many, many others who fell in the field of honor for sacred freedom.

Albanian people under Yugoslavia!

Centuries of slavery have become a heavy burden on our backs, an unbearable burden. This slavery can be lifted from our necks only by breaking once and for all the shackles of Serbian slavery. To break these shackles, we must all unite together, regardless of age or gender, and as one fist march towards victory with the banner of Marxism-Leninism at our forefront. Forward towards the final victory!

With our loved ones! Brothers, friends and fellow fighters of the sacred ideal for the freedom of the Homeland, Jusuf, Kadri and Bardhosh: Rexhep Nuhi and Bajram, rest in peace because your ideal is the brightest beacon, the best guide of our fight for freedom. The youth and the people are swearing before you and this is the surest guarantee for the realization of the highest aspirations, for the freedom of the people and the Homeland!

LONG LIVE THE ALBANIAN PEOPLE, BRAVE AND INVINCIBLE!

LONG LIVE THE IMMORTAL WORK OF THOSE WHO FELL FOR FREEDOM!

DOWN WITH YUGOSLAV FASCIST VIOLENCE AND TERROR!

DEATH TO TITOISTS AND TRAITORS

TO THE NATION!

REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO!

GLORY TO VICTORIOUS MARXISM AND LENINISM! FORWARD TO THE FINAL VICTORY!

Marxist Leninist Organization of Kosovo”
