In the village of Zabllaq in Kosovo, Igballe Oshlani, a doctor and martyr, passed away. She was born in Vushtrri in 1954. She completed her primary and secondary education in her hometown and graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Prishtina in 1984. She worked at the Health Center in Vushtrri. In the spring of 1999, along with her family, she experienced deportation and exile. The deportees from Mitrovica, among whom was Igballe Oshlani, were forced to head toward Albania. Part of the column was violently halted in the village of Zabllaq. The Serbian army shelled Zabllaq and the civilian population. Dr. Igballe Oshlani was providing medical assistance to civilians when she was seized by the Serbian army and paramilitary forces and was massacred along with her husband and several other civilians.
