In the Republic of Moldova, lawyers protest against the deprivation of immunity

The Parliament of the Republic of Moldova approved in the second reading an amendment to the Law "On the Bar", which deprives lawyers of immunity, reports Agora.md. Lawyers can be detained without the consent of the Council of the Bar Association of Moldova in case of severe violations, including corruption.

The amendment provoked sharp criticism from the lawyers' community. In protest against the amendments, lawyers went on a general strike from 20 to 24 January with a complete stop of professional activity.

Let’s discuss this on the forum!
