The HCJ says that hate speech against judges is disturbing and unacceptable. Furthermore, it is added that what is more serious are the calls for self-trial or the accusations that the judges are captured, these statements repeated in almost every meeting by Sali Berisha.

The KLJ considers public calls to judges against the constitutional order.

Full statement:

The Supreme Judicial Council notes that in the last few days, statements have been made by public persons expressing dissatisfaction with a decision given by the Court of Appeal of General Jurisdiction.

As a body tasked by the Constitution to guarantee the independence, accountability and smooth running of the judicial power, the Supreme Judicial Council notes with regret that this is not an isolated case of disrespecting the dignity of the judge, a necessary condition for guaranteeing the state of right.

Hate speech against judges is disturbing and unacceptable. Public calls for self-judgment against an act of judicial power, regardless of disagreement with it, are openly against the constitutional order, on the basis of which the rule of law functions.

Allusions to the "capture" of judges refer to elements of corruption that, in the absence of facts, seriously undermine trust in justice and the authority of the judiciary.

Freedom of expression, guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Albania, does not in any case protect hate speech or calls for violence.

By its very nature, judicial activity causes resentment towards one or the other party, but in a state of law, the legal means to challenge a court decision is to appeal to a higher court, according to the legislation in force, not to court. , or the judge's.

Likewise, anyone who becomes aware of an activity or behavior of a judge that may constitute a disciplinary violation according to the law, has the opportunity to refer the case to the High Inspector of Justice, to assess and decide whether it is the place to start the proceedings disciplinary of the judge.
