Lawyers didn’t answer to the appeal of the Justice Minister to stop the
boycott. They started the first boycott in the history of the Albanian
advocacy, while the Chairman of Criminal Lawyers, Sajmir Vishaj, said
that this extreme measure is necessary for the integrity and profession
of lawyers.
“We know this is an extreme measure and we don’t want to abandon trials, but we are here to defend the procedural rights of our clients. If we cannot defend ourselves, we will not be able to defend others”, Vishaj declared.
Vishaj quoted the decision fo the National Chamber of Advocacy and warned that whoever breaks the boycott will face a disciplinary proceeding from the Chamber of Advocacy.
