Lawyer's arrest/ Bar Association reacts: Unprecedented event

The Chamber of Advocates has reacted to the arrest of lawyer UB

In its response, the Chamber of Advocates says it condemns the arrest of the lawyer.

Further, the reaction states that the lawyer was put in handcuffs due to his statements as part of the defense in the courtroom.

The Chamber of Advocates calls on the ILD, the KLP and the General Prosecutor's Office to act urgently on the case.

Lawyer objects to falsified evidence in trial, Prosecutor arrests him for intimidation!

The National Bar Association of Albania strongly condemns the arrest of lawyer Ulian Barjami by the Elbasan Police.

From what the Bar Association has learned, it appears that a confrontation of equal arms in the courtroom, according to the law, has ended in an abuse of the prosecutor's attributes, by not accepting the judicial debate, but by ordering the handcuffing of lawyer Ulian Barjami, a member of the Tirana Bar Association.

Position of the Albanian Bar Association

We are dealing with the arrest of the lawyer due to his statements in the defense context in the courtroom, with his statement — that he will file a report for falsifying evidence against the prosecutor — being treated as a threat and opposition to the prosecutor.

This is an unprecedented event, where a lawyer is deprived of his freedom due to free speech in the courtroom, where he expresses his opinion on the falsity of the evidence and the responsibility that, according to the lawyer, should be borne by the author of the falsification, which in this case is the prosecutor.

The Chamber of Advocates calls on the High Inspector of Justice, the High Prosecutorial Council, and the General Prosecutor's Office to act urgently on this flagrant case of arbitrariness and open violation of the law.

This is because the Chamber, based on the legal framework and the Constitution of Albania, still believes that we are the Republic of Albania – a state with justice based on evidence and facts – and not a “Republic of Prosecutors”./ CNA
