    TIRANA, SEPT 29 (ATA) - By E Xhajanka: The Tirana district court accused nine former senior PLA officials yesterday of "having committed crimes against humanity in cooperation with one another."

    Defendants Nazmi Domi, Llambi Gegprifti, Shkelqim Bajraktari, Irakli Vero and Veiz Haderi were sentenced in absentia.

    The judge Medi Beci said that the nine defendants have received the minimum term of sentences after the law on the crimes against humanity in cooperation with one other.

    The defendants are found guilty of their crimes on the basis of the materials accumulated and the testimonies by the Forum of Albanian Intellectuals, signed by 36 people. They are accused that being in high party and state posts they have acted not on the basis of laws but have satisfied their passions and unjust instructions. kled/xh/sh/
