Dear Editor,
The Bar Association’s message to Guyanese is a reminder of how out of touch and irrelevant this association has become: “The Bar Council of The Bar Association in the premises wishes to remind and urge members of the public to exercise responsibility in making public statements touching and concerning the administration of justice, including judicial officers and thereby refrain from personal attacks, the use of threatening language which threaten the personal safety of judicial officers or otherwise and or making scandalous, inflammatory and unsubstantiated allegations against judicial officers”, sure enough nobody should threaten anyone else’s safety (Judge or layman) and, I believe the Judiciary knows how to respond to threats well enough but what’s the plan for Guyanese (or others) based in America for example?
The article Criticism of the judiciary is an important part of democracy appeared first on Stabroek News.
