Since 1997, he has not been in good health, while living in his village in poor economic conditions.

A few days ago, the Union of Albanian Journalists called for help for journalist Zamir Dule.

UGSH statement on February 29:

UGSH appeal, help for the health of journalist Zamir Dule!

The well-known journalist of the black chronicle, Zamir Dule, in a serious state of health, was urgently admitted to the hospital. He had heart problems and was sent for treatment to the 'Hygea' hospital, where the medical service or intervention has an incalculable financial cost, therefore his family appeals for help.

Media in mourning/ Journalist dies prematurely

The sudden health situation of Zamir Dules is made known by his brother, the one who took care of the journalist retired from the profession for years and lived in his hometown, the village of Miras i Devolli. A friend of mine from my student years, at the same time a fellow villager with Zamir, conveyed the bad news to me.

It is announced that Zamir Dules had a heart problem this Thursday around 4:00 p.m. He had been in Korça, where he came from time to time to order or buy his favorite books. A passion for which he spent a good part of his special pension, which consumed him and was like the meaning of his closed life.

Earlier, he met the well-known poet Skender Rusi at the time when he was the director of the library, to whom he entrusted many manuscripts in prose and poetry, but also others of a philosophical nature or sentences.

The life of journalist Zamir Dule is a drama in itself and it would take a voluminous novel to describe it. He showed talent in high school, which he later "converted" into journalism.

After the first articles in the newspaper "Voice of Youth" with special tendencies in the genres of chronicles, he started as a correspondent of the newspaper "Our Time" for the District of Korça.

In 1994, appreciating his skills and dedication, the publisher Nikollë Lesi brought him to Tirana where he covered the chronicle sector for the police, the prosecution and the court.

At its peak, until approximately 1996, when he also wrote the book 'Monster of Tropoja'" Zamir Dule became a symbol of the black chronicle journalist. As much as Karlo Bolino, at that time the publisher of "Gazeta Shqiptare" which Zamir i had offered himself for employment earlier, whenever the latter published his sensational news, it made Carlo regretfully utter the phrase 'Ah Mr Dule! Mr Dule!

He sacrificed so much for his profession that at one point in his career, with the aim of getting the most sensational news from Tirana and the whole country, he made a 'pact with the devil'.

Zamiri quickly withdrew from this wrong step, as according to his confession, SHIK was serving some second-hand news without interest, and moreover, the journalist himself, according to his confession, regretted this communication ..

As a reaction, he made a self-decision: 'Better a terrible end or an endless horror?' Which meant the tribute he would have to pay...

This is where the ordeal of Zamir Dules began, who under the pressure of persecution began to show psychological problems. For which the murder of one of his brothers had an impact on the other hand. The climax of these tortures reached the ghastly night of the burning of the editorial office of the newspaper "Koha Jonë" at the beginning of March 1997.

At that time, some of the journalists, part of the staff and the bodyguards of the publisher Nikollë Lesi took shelter to sleep in the underground floor of the newsroom. The night when the editorial building was attacked, Zamir Dule was the only one who was in the editorial office after midnight together with another employee of the newspaper since it was the weekend and everyone who was sheltering in the lower rooms had left with permission.

Zamir Dule was escorted to the police where he was tortured, these tortures put a lid on the terrible persecutions against him. He no longer recovered professionally, but also from his mental health and the shadow of persecution that did not leave him.

The government of the Prime Minister of the time, Fatos Nano, granted the journalist Zamir Dule a special pension, as a sign of appreciation for his work under conditions of persecution and especially for his torture by the police.

Time after time. Zamir Dule has become the subject of discussions, even in the political ranks, as the journalist symbol of a vindictive regime against journalists. Also, there was an attempt to be contacted by his colleagues to interview him, but Zamir, withdrawn into his solitude and the world of books, refused them. After the death of his parents one after the other, Zamir, who could not marry, is taken care of by his brother.

Some time ago, seeing the speculative reactions in the media or politics to remind politics of the victimization of a famous media professional, the head of the Union of Albanian Journalists, journalist Aleksandër Çipa, appealed with an article entitled 'Leave Zamir alone !'

Today is the day that this appeal comes with the message 'Help Zamir Dulen! The talented and courageous journalist is not in bed at home reading, but in the bed of the 'Hygea' hospital in Tirana, where he was admitted with heart problems and the family cannot afford the expenses.
