Biography

Asllani was born on 17 October 1937 in Bërdicë, near Shkodër, in a poor family.[3] After attending the agricultural technical school in Shkodër, he studied during 1961-1964 at the Agricultural Institute, now the Agricultural University of Tirana (Alb: Universiteti Bujqësor Tiranës).

Political career

The 6th Congress of the PPSh in 1968 found him following the "V.Lenin" Party School in Tirana. In that congress, he became a member of the Central Committee of the Party, although he was not previously a candidate. The next year he served as Secretary of the Party in Shkodër, switching with Prokop Murra.[3]

On January 3, 1974, he was appointed First Secretary of the Party in

Burrel. Shortly thereafter, he was reappointed in Shkodër. Asllani lead the front line of the reconstruction work that brought the Shkodër town back to life after the earthquake of 1979, which destroyed and damaged a considerable number of buildings and houses.[4]

At the 8th Congress of the party in November 1981, Asllani became a member of the

Durres, the main port city of Albania.[6]

Between 1982 and 1991, respectively during the tenth and eleventh legislature, he was elected representative in the

People's Assembly (Alb: Kuvendi Popullor).[7]

There were rumors that Asllani's son was one of many that entered the foreign embassies during Summer 1990, thus seeking political-economical refuge in the German embassy. The rumors were never verified.[8]

Post-communist era

In 1993, a special court rose in Tirana against Asllani and nine other former high-ranking officials (Besnik Bekteshi, Foto Çami, Vangjel Çërrava, Hajredin Çeliku, Lenka Çuko, Llambi Gegprifti, Qirjako Mihali, Pali Miska, and Prokop Murra). They were accused of "abuse of public funds".[9] The following sentences were given: Mihali and Gegprifti eight years each, Miska and Çuko seven years each, Çami, Çeliku and Bekteshi six years each, and Çërrava, Murra and Asllani five years.[10][11]

Another case against was brought in June 1996, this time for "crimes against humanity". Other co-defendants were the former Politburo members Prokop Murra, Foto Çami, Gaqo Nesho (former First Secretaries of PPSh of

turmoils of 1997

Lately, Asllani was member of the

gay rights in Albania.[14]
