24-HOUR STRIKE OF JUDGES AND LAWYERS
(Haiti Libre) -
Following the impossibility of obtaining the confirmation of a date for the installation of the members already certified, of the Superior Council of Judicial Power (CSPJ), and after the meeting Friday [date of an earlier ultimatum] with Mr. Michel Brunache, Minister of Justice, the Bar Federation of Haiti (FBH), and the National Association of Haitian Magistrates (ANAMAH), tired of the repeated postponements of these installations, have decided as a protest, a work stoppage of 24 hours on Monday.
The President of the ANAMAH reported that a meeting should take place next week with the Head of State, and if they do not get satisfaction, lawyers and judges will have no other choice than to initiate an indefinite strike throughout the territory.
Note that the paralysis of the judicial system would result not only in serious hardship for the population, but will also affect the numerous ongoing legal proceedings, which are often constraints to the respect of legal deadlines...
