Another Albanian found dead in French prison; Police say he committed suicide but relatives say has been killed

 Mentor Rexha
 French media had reported four days earlier that a prisoner had been found dead in France's Plomeur prison.

It is about Mentor Rexha, 36-years old from Lezha. French media reported that according to the investigation team, the 36-year-old was likely to have committed suicide inside the cell.

According to French media reports, the young man committed suicide in the early hours of February 1. But the young man's relatives have raised suspicions that he may have been killed inside the prison, where he had been for several months.

Family members have strong suspicions that he has been violated by prison guards.


The young man's sister stated that only in the last few days were allowed to see Mentor's body in the morgue.

"I was initially asked to sign a letter without seeing the body, but I refused," she said.

According to the 36-year-old sister, only after going to the morgue did she managed to detect the signs of violence. She has even been able to photograph the scars on her brother's body and publish to Facebook.

Meanwhile, in the Rexha family, the doors have been opened, but the 36-year-old's body has not yet been returned to the family.

In a post on Facebook, the 36-year-old's sister in pain, writes:

"My brother, the soul of the Sister, Mentor, why this pain my brother, that you separated at a young age?...Who did this to us, I waited to see the bride, not in this way. Sister's Heart. Damn if that France that took your life. May you go to Heaven..., Mentor Rexha. "

According to French media, the young man was found by security guards hanging inside his cell while investigations have begun to find the cause of the death.

This is not the first time an Albanian has been found dead in French prisons. The latest case was that of Florenc Beqiraj in December 2017.

We remind that French authorities then stated that Florenc Beqiraj had committed suicide in the Marseille prison in France, but the 23-year-old Beqiraj, according to family members, had been violated.
