Feçor Shehu

Feçor Shehu (died 1983) was a politician of Communist Albania who served as Minister of Internal Affairs and Sigurimi from 1978 to 1982.[1]

Shehu was born in Mallakaster District, nephew of long-time communist leader Mehmet Shehu. After Shehu's suicide, Feçor Shehu, Fiqrete Shehu, Former Minister of Internal Affair from 1954-78 Kadri Hazbiu, Foreign Minister Nesti Nase, other political figures as Llambi Peçini - Diplomat and Head of Security for Blloku highly restricted area, Llambi Ziçishti - former Minister of Public Health,[2] Xhavit Ismailaga, and many others from the ranks of the army and police were sent to trial and condemned.[1][3] Feçor Shehu was executed,[3] together with Hazbiu, on 15 September 1983.[4] His remains were discovered in 1995.[5]

Shehu is remembered for his brutal interrogation tactics with political prisoners or persons of interest.[6] He is also mentioned as a pervert and rapist of young athlete women,[7][8] and especially of arrested women who were being held by the Sigurimi.[9] Controversies reached at a maximum when the Municipality of Mallakastër's Council awarded him with the title "Qytetar Nderi" (Honorary citizenship) on 20 November 2014, which led to the expulsion of the DPA councilmen from the Democratic Party of Albania.[10][11][12][13]
