The ICJ urges Syrian authorities to end the harassment of a prominent human rights lawyer, Haythem Al-Maleh, whose only crime was the lawful and proper representation of an individual engaged in political opposition to the current regime.
Today the ICJ sent an intervention to President Bashar al-Assad regarding the trial of a lawyer, Habib Issa, before the State Security Court.
The ICJ today expressed in its preliminary report its deep concern at the prosecution of 27 lawyers before No. 1 Ankara Heavy Penal Court.
This preliminary report reflects the concerns of the ICJ based on its trial observation of the first hearing of 27 lawyers (hereafter “Ankara 27”) charged with professional misconduct on 9 May 2002 before No.1 Ankara Heavy Penal Court.
The ICJ announces the publication of its new Trial Observation Manual. Almost 50 years ago, the ICJ pioneered the practice of sending trial observers where there were grave concerns about the integrity of legal proceedings. This continues to be one of the main field.
