Albanian lecturer speech at the Ashkodar conference

Ms. Basarta Brachai; economist and lecturer in Ashkodar is interested in human rights issues. Getting acquainted with the Nejat Society and its humanitarian goals, she appreciated the Society’s activities.

Ms. Brachai participated at the opening ceremony of the public screening of the documentary “Mother, Love, Separation” in the city of Shkodër and made a speech:

Greetings to everyone,
My name is Besarta Bracaj. I belong to the community of economic sciences.
This documentary made me see and understand “suffering” from a different perspective.
Although it is surprising, but it is true and of course very painful.

It is surprising that such an organization exists in Albania and in the world today, their activities are as strange as they are frightening.

How can you not allow a mother to meet her child, her loved one, her only son, her soul?

We all know that a child is the mother’s soul.

It is a violated right and a violated moral principle against those who are unable to take this God-given right.
Why should a mother cry for her child? Why shouldn’t there be a humanitarian law and policy that supports parents and families?

We all need to come together and fight this pain and bring smiles back to the eyes and hearts of these parents.

Let’s do a humanitarian thing and restore the rights taken from these people

Thank you for listening and participating

A call for awareness

The opening of the public screening of the documentary Mother, Love, Separation held yesterday, November 3rd, in the city of Shkodër.

Aldo sullolari director of the 40-minute documentary made a speech after the screening:

Today we are gathered here to share a story, a story that feels the deep pain of mothers who face a pain that many of us cannot imagine. This film, entitled “Mother, Love, Separation”, tells us about the suffering of mothers in Iran, who are separated from their children for years, children who have joined the MEK terrorist organization.

This film is not just a depiction of suffering. It is a call for awareness, a message for all of us, especially for the Albanian public, to support these mothers and their children. Their pain, tears and suffering are evidence of a bitter reality, but our film also shows the power of dedication and conviction to bring back what has been lost.

During the filming in the Persian Gulf, we had the opportunity to experience deep events and emotions, which were skillfully described by our Albanian and Iranian activists. They bring a strong message of unity to the screen, showing that a mother’s love and strength are more powerful than any terrorist ideology.

Our film is a reflection of a sad reality, but also a hope for a brighter future. What we want is to create a feeling of solidarity, for all of us to be on the side of those who are suffering.

Through this project, we want to call for action. It is necessary to listen to the stories of these mothers and understand that each story is a cry for help. We cannot remain silent in the face of this tragedy. This is an opportunity to open a dialogue, to help those who are lost and to bring a light of hope into their lives.

Thank you for being here to support this film and the message it conveys. I hope we can all be inspired by these mothers’ stories and come together for a greater cause.

Thank you!

Nejat Society; a guiding light for those looking for better life

Dr. Elma Halaj is a general practitioner who has been interested in social activities since she was a student and is currently active in the medical community. The issue of mothers and families who have been separated from their loved ones for decades and are unable to communicate with them attracted her attention as a case of civil rights and human rights.
The text of her speech at the conference of the documentary “Love, Mother, Separation” directed by Aldo Solulari, media director of the Albanian Rescue Association, is as follows:

Dear attendees,
Today we have reached a special moment, not only for the Nejat Society, but for all those who have contributed to this wonderful journey. That’s why I want to share a few words about the Nejat Society, an association that has done an extraordinary job for the integration of Iranians in Albania, especially those who have left the MEK organization.

Nejat Society has been a guiding light for those who have been looking for a better life and an opportunity to renew their hopes. The latest film project, which has brought the stories of our lives and the challenges we have gone through, is a testament to the strength and resilience of our community. This film is an important step to raise awareness and show that we are more than just stories; we are individuals with our own dreams, aspirations and contributions to Albanian society.

As a medical doctor, I understand the importance of support and solidarity at every step of life. I hope that every student, every professional and every individual who is part of this community will continue to support projects like these, which create opportunities and help build a better and more equal society.

Thank you to Nejat Society for your hard work and the inspiration you provide to all of us. Let’s continue to work together, for a brighter and more united future.

Thank you
