Ramize Gjebrea


Ramize Gjebrea (April 20, 1923 – March 6, 1944, nom de guerre Ramona) was an Albanian World War II partisan, accused of alleged immoral behavior by a martial court, and executed by a firing squad in the village of Ramicë, Vlorë.

Gjebrea was born on April 20, 1923, in the city of Gjirokastër of a father from the well-known local Gjebrea family, and a mother from Kaçanik, Kosovo. She had gone to the Mother Queen Women's Institute, where she had studied along with Nexhmije Hoxha, and Liri Belishova. She later was arrested in 1942, but freed for lack of proof, and subsequently joined the National Liberation Movement, first as a youth secretary of Berat, and then as commanding staff of the Vth Attacking Brigade.

On February 16, 1944 an investigation for immoral behavior and breach of the partisan morals took place in Ramicë, Vlorë. According to the verbals of the investigation, partisan Zaho Koka, a former shephard, and Gjebrea admitted only to having kissed and fondled one another, whereas Ramadan Xhangolli, envoy of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Albania, accused them of having had intercourse. Zaho Koka claimed that he didn't know that at the time of the facts Gjebrea was the fiancee of Nako Spiru. On March 4, 1944 the court condemned Gjebrea to death, but pardoned Koka, although it demoted him within the Party. Gjebrea was executed two days later on March 6, 1944, in front of 400 partisans of the 5th Attacking Brigade. Three partisans (two male and one female) shot, all three of them, in the air, their first bullet. At that point Gjebrea yelled at them Don't shoot me on the back. I expect your bullets to be different. Shoot at me!, at which point they shot at her, and Gjebrea fell, dead.
