On 16 July 1992, the Albanian parliament voted to ban the party and its newspaper.
A law that took effect in June allowed leaders of political parties, members of parliament and government ministers to keep weapons and as the party was banned, its leader, Hysni Milloshi, was arrested on 22 July 1992 for illegal weapons possession.
[4] The law banning the Communist Party of Albania was repealed in April 1998, and the PKSH became the first communist party after 1991 to legally register at the Electoral Commission.
[5] In 2002, a fraction of PKSH split and merged into that refounded the Albanian Party of Labour.
PKSH publishes Zëri i së Vërtetës ('The Voice of Truth').
