Qerim Sadiku was a Catholic layman from Albania who was executed in 1946. Born in 1919 in what was then the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, he had converted from Islam to Catholicism. A former lieutenant in the gendarmerie, he was known for his deep religious devotion and his frequent pilgrimages to St. Anthony Church. Following the end of the war, his political activities and affiliations led to his arrest by the communist government, eventually resulting in his death by a firing squad in Shkodër.
