Biography[edit]
Early life[edit]
Lef Nosi was born on 9 April 1877,[1] and was a committee member of the Albanian club in Elbasan.[2] During the Albanian revolt of 1912 Nosi was one of two delegates representing Elbasan sent to Kosovo that partook in negotiations between Albanian rebels and the Ottoman state regarding Albanian sociopolitical and cultural interests.[3]
Arrest and death[edit]
Lef Nosi was brought to trial in February 1946, led by general judge Irakli Bozo[4] and prosecuted by Misto Treska.[4][5] Along with Anton Harapi and former prime minister Maliq bey Bushati, Nosi was condemned to death by communist Albania.[5]
