The Supreme Court of Justice has reacted to the accusations that the lawyers of the former prime minister Berisha and he himself have made against the judge of the Supreme Court of Justice Irena Gjoka.
In its statement, the Supreme Judicial Council condemns the statements made against Judge Gjoka and called on the parties to respect the integrity of judges.
Furthermore, it is said that these statements have a negative impact on the public's trust in the judicial power, but also create a wrong image of the activity of judges during the exercise of their duties.
" The Supreme Judicial Council, as a body tasked by the Constitution to guarantee the independence, accountability and smooth running of the judicial power, has closely followed recent developments regarding public statements in the media by public figures and their defenders in the criminal process, which in their content seriously violate the image and dignity of Mrs. Irena Gjoka, acting judge at the Special Court of First Instance for Corruption and Organized Crime.
The Council notes with regret that these repeated public statements in the media constitute an attack on judges due to their duty, aiming to compromise the independence of the judiciary, through media harassment.
At the same time, the Supreme Judicial Council assesses that these attitudes not only negatively affect the public's trust in the judicial power, but also create a wrong image of the activity of judges during the exercise of their duties with the aim of forcing them to give decisions contrary to principles of independence and impartiality.
Also, the High Judicial Council emphasizes that lawyers, based on the law and the professional code of ethics, must behave with respect, honesty and integrity towards the court, in order to represent the interests of clients.
The Supreme Judicial Council invites all stakeholders to respect the judges and their commitment to strengthening the rule of law, as the administration of justice must be free from any kind of influence or interference from public or private entities" , it was stated in the announcement of the Supreme Judicial Council. .
