The dubious portal "news34post.com" has published an article titled "Breaking News on February 14th: Hashim Thaçi is expected to be released."
After fact-checking analysis by hibrid.info, it turns out that this news is old, having been published on December 10th of last year, when Hashim Thaçi's lawyer, David Hooper, had requested the release of his client through a 28-page submission.
So, the dubious portal "news34post.com" has used an old news story by giving it a false title, trying to present it as current news.

Latest News Hashim Thaçi Expected to Be Released on February 14
Sources from the Special Court report that David Hooper, Thaçi's lawyer, has requested his release through a 28-page submission.
The submission has now been sent to the pre-trial judge, and it lists the arguments why Thaçi should be released according to the lawyer. It also lists the counter-arguments to the claims of the Specialized Prosecution Office presented in other submissions as well as in the redacted version of the order. About four days ago, at the address of the Pre-Trial Judge, Nicolas Guillou, 28 pages of arguments from the defense attorney of former President Thaçi, David Hooper, have arrived, through which the temporary release of his client is requested. In his address, Hooper responded to all the claims of the Special Prosecutor, raised in the arrest warrant against Thaçi as well as in other submissions sent to the court. The president's lawyer, on this occasion, responded to the claims of intimidation of persons who think differently about the KLA war, as was mentioned in the case of Shkelzen Gashi, former advisor to Albin Kurti at the time when the latter was prime minister.
