A-PAL STATEMENT:
==========================================

A-PAL wishes to extend a holiday Thank You to everyone who worked and spent
their time and efforts this past year on the Albanian prisoner issue. For
many of you, this is your third holiday season working on this disturbing
matter! 

On behalf of the Albanian prisoners sitting in their cold and dark cells
within Serbia and away from their families and loved ones and on behalf of
those freed since their detainment, we THANK YOU.  Thank you for not giving
up.  Thank you for considering the pain and desperation of the those
deprived of their freedom and basic human rights.  And thank you for
remembering the 201 others still waiting as we begin the new year, 2002.

We wish a full recovery and health to released prisoners, Dylber Beka and
Bedri Kukalaj, and extend special thanks to those who worked on their cases
and assisted them.

We feel deep concern for those prisoners, handicapped and ill, still
wrongfully being held in detention without proper care.

We also wish to acknowledge the publications of three books of poetry
published by prisoners Besim Zymberi and Nait Hasani.  Congratulations.
