How Plarent Ndreca is lying about being in a cage

Plarent Ndreca, the defendant lawyer of the arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, has stated again, after the protracted court proceedings at the GJKKO, that his client's stay in the cage is unconstitutional.

In fact, in a decision of the Strasbourg Court published by CNA on May 29, 2026, this statement by Plarent Ndreca on the cage issue is nothing more nor less than a lie, because his rights are not violated if he remains in the cage.

This is what the Strasbourg decision said, a decision dated March 5, 2026, made public on May 19, 2026.

How Plarent Ndreca is lying about being in a cage
The Strasbourg Court's decision

“ The Court has already held that placing defendants behind glass partitions or in glass “docks” (cabins) does not in itself involve an element of humiliation sufficient to reach the minimum level of severity, as is the case with metal cages (see Yaroslav Belousov v. Russia, nos. 2653/13 and 60980/14, §§ 124 and 125, 4 October 2016). However, this level may be reached if the circumstances of their detention, taken as a whole, would cause them distress or hardship of an intensity exceeding the unavoidable level of suffering inherent in detention (see Kud?a v. Poland [GC], no. 30210/96, §§ 92-94, ECHR 2000-XI) ,” the Strasbourg Court’s decision states.

Thus, the ECHR decision clearly confirms that placing defendants behind glass partitions does not in itself involve an element of humiliation that reaches the minimum level of severity to constitute a violation, differentiating this security measure from metal cages.

Plarent Ndreca, the defendant lawyer of Erion Veliaj, as CNA has also pointed out, is more interested in show and pressure on justice. Come out, speak, give statements. From the first day he became Veliaj's lawyer until today, there have only been postponements of hearings against his client.


If Ndreca and Veliaj were interested in the case moving forward, the trial on the merits could have ended by now.
But another scenario emerges, no, some lawyers are missing, no, Veliaj has changed some of his representative lawyers. Once a claim is made that we are missing the file, then we have received it electronically but we are missing the printed one. Then we have it printed, but we are missing the files that others have. Then when they bring it to them in print, they say no, we won't get it here, why bring it to us today, we want it tomorrow.


Now they say that the legal process is not regular, on the tracks of legality and they use the cage issue, when in fact what SPAK's defendant, Planrent Ndreca, claims is simply untrue because the Strasbourg Court has expressed itself on that issue and emphasized that glass barriers are a legitimate security measure and not a form of degrading treatment./CNA
