The Massacre of 1951 in Albania was the killing without trial of 22 intellectuals in the Socialist People's Republic of Albania on 26 February 1951, as ordered by Enver Hoxha, accused of bombing the Soviet Union's embassy in Tirana. The victims were 21 males and one female. One day earlier, Jonuz Kaceli was killed while accused of the same crime. It was the first time the Agitation and Propaganda law was used. They were executed at midnight, near the Beshiri bridge, 15 km from Tirana, and were buried in a common grave, bound together.〔(Shqipëri: 26 shkurt 1951 regjimi komunist ekzekuton 22 intelektualë shqiptarë )〕 The bomb was actually thrown by Hysen Llulla and Qazim Laçi.〔(), Gazeta 55, p.13-14〕 The head of the police during that time, Sali Ormëni, was killed one week after the bombing. Manol Konomi, then one the minister of justice, did not want to sign the death sentences without approval.
