The Spin

Narrative A

Hashim Thaci and the three KLA leaders must stand trial and answer for their litany of heinous crimes. Their victims deserve answers, and the public deserves to know about the atrocities that have occurred in Kosovo over the past 25 years. Amid conflict in the region, Thaci and the KLA targeted political opponents and ethnic minorities, committing crimes against humanity, including murder and forced disappearances. No one is above the law, and this trial will prove it.

Narrative B

Thaci is a freedom fighter and hero who made enormous sacrifices for Kosovo’s independence. Prosecutors are corruptly trying to attach Thaci and the KLA to various crimes committed in the late 1990s that they had nothing to do with. This trial is a sham, and prosecutors are making outright lies about Kosovo, its leader, and its independence. Thaci is innocent, and this trial will prove that undoubtedly.
