The court in Lipjan has ruled on the Public Prosecution’s request regarding former UÇK veteran Bekim Meta. Instead of imposing pre-trial detention, the court opted to place Meta under house arrest. Luan Tasholli, Meta’s lawyer, confirmed the ruling following the conclusion of the court session.
Tasholli stated that the decision by the Basic Court, specifically the preliminary procedural judge, rejected the Public Prosecution’s request for pre-trial detention measures. Consequently, the court imposed house arrest on Meta. Tasholli added that his client would comply with all legal obligations associated with this measure.
The court’s decision was met with considerable attention. The news comes amid ongoing public demonstrations in Lipjan, where supporters have gathered in support of Bekim Meta. The legal proceedings have drawn significant interest from local observers.
The imposition of house arrest marks a significant procedural development in the case, replacing the initially sought measure of arrest.
