Developments: 2. New information has surfaced regarding the 1982 assassinations of Albanian activists Kadri Zeka, Jusuf Gërvalla, and Bardhosh Gërvalla in Heilbronn, Germany. Initial reports highlighted accounts from Saime Isufi, the widow of Kadri Zeka, who believes the Yugoslav secret service (UDB) was responsible for the killings. Historical documents from Albanian State Security files also revealed past suspicions held by Suzana Gërvalla, who had alleged to security officials that Isufi might have been a UDB agent. Subsequent claims by activist Ibrahim Kelmendi have introduced a different perspective, alleging that the assassination of Jusuf Gërvalla was ordered by Riza Salihu. Kelmendi stated that Salihu instructed Hysen Gega to carry out the killing under the pretext that Gërvalla was a spy for the UDB. Kelmendi also provided specific details regarding the merger of various Albanian political organizations occurring in January 1982. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-26: Ibrahim Kelmendi alleges Riza Salihu ordered Jusuf Gërvalla's assassination Activist Ibrahim Kelmendi claims Riza Salihu ordered the assassination of Jusuf Gërvalla and provides details on the 1982 merger of several Albanian political organizations. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ibrahim-kelmendi-alleges-riza-salihu-ordered-jusuf-grvallas-assassination ### 2026-08-17: Kadri Zeka and Gërvalla brothers assassination: New details emerge New accounts and historical documents provide insight into the 1982 assassinations of Kadri Zeka and the Gërvalla brothers, including allegations of UDB involvement and past suspicions regarding Saime Isufi. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kadri-zeka-and-grvalla-brothers-assassination-new-details-emerge --- Cite as: 1982 assassination of Albanian activists.
