The judiciary “Coma” pushed lawyers to strike and urgent files need emergency measures!

The citizens has no more authority to refer to for complaints. The Lebanese were exposed to authoritarianism in a way that dropped the "mulberry leaf" (revealed the hidden) and the flaws and corruption of this system were revealed. The judiciary has fallen, and this is a reality for everyone to deal with. There is no way to obtain justice except by raising the voice until the restoration of the state, especially the judiciary, from the hands of its kidnappers.

For this reason the Beirut Bar Association went on strike, which the UFL Alliance confirms its correctness and shows its support to. The strike is based on a clear principle away from absurdity, and was the result of a flagrant violation of the activists’ and lawyers’ rights, the latest of which was what happened with lawyer Rami Ollaik.

The alliance believes that the commitment to the strike is unconditional, and the Bar, at this stage, is studying the permissions provided by the lawyers, taking into account the deadlines and the urgency of the situation. Therefore, several files must be studied and emergency measures must be taken in view of their effects including the following:

• Banks and depositors file, being urgent as much as its deadlines since it affects people’s lives, their medication, and their children’s education. This sheds the light on the necessity to note this issue and discuss the effects of the strike in a precise manner, so that it does not contradict with its meaning regarding this vital file, especially that there are windows being opened judicially through decisions issued by some judges alleviating the burden of the tragedy from the citizens’ shoulders and gives hope to the people. These contexts must be supported and built upon.
• The forensic investigation and all what is related to, is a priority now. And the position of the Bar came to settle this matter.
• The detainees and the follow up on their situation, given that the detention of freedom should not be excessively implemented under any measure, as everything that contributes to ensuring justice and human freedom, is of the nature of urgent matters and the Bar should take it into account.
• Files of an urgent nature that lead to the fall of the rightness (this is what the Bar noticed and is being dealt with).
