On a Facebook post, Hysen Durmishi a High Officer of Vetevendosjes Movement, seeks to arrest the Director of Klan Kosova – Baton Haxhiu and Chief Editor of online media INSAJDERI – Vehbi Kajtazi. He has accused them of their involvement in the death of Astrit Dehari. “Astrit is killed. The killers and people who gave the order must be punished. The prosecutor must gingerly today to issue the arrest warrant on Sylë Hoxha, Nexhmi Krasniqi, Dhurata Hoxha, Baton Haxhiu, Vehbi Kajtazi, and many others in order to discover the truth. We will never stop until Astrit’s truth.” Astrit Dehari was an activist of Vetevendosje Movement, who died on November 5, 2016, in the prison of Prizren City.
