Hanife Avdullah Berisha (13) was forced to commit suicide, just because she had removed a picture of Tito from a school book. This tragedy occurred in the village of Zarbince, Bujanovac municipality (Eastern Kosovo).

Upon seeing her removing a picture of Tito from the school book, the class teacher informs the principal and vice principal of the school, who tortured her mentally and physically and threatened to arrest her parents.
On May 19, 1987, upon returning home from school, she greeted her mother and family members, went out behind the house and takes her own life. As already mentioned, the reason for this was, because of the mentally & physically torture and threats by the school authorities.
With threats and blackmail, the school director also has forced Hanife’s parents to keep the tragic case quiet.
Hanife, had removed a picture of Tito from the school book, because inspired by the events of the time, hatred and a feeling of enmity towards Tito had accumulated in her mind. It was understandable, we suffered under Rankovic from 1948 to 1966 and Tito didn’t stopped him earlier, he didn’t allowed us to have our own republic, he had probably also forgotten the Bujan Resolution, which stated that Kosovo & Albania could unite, if the Albanians would help to fight against Nazi fascism, which they did under Fadil Hoxha & Miladin Popovic in 1945.
May Hanife Avdullah Berisha (hero of highlands of Bujanoci/ Heroina e Malësisë së Bujanovcit) rest in peace
