The amendment, which constitutes a severe violation of the right to freedom of expression, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.legal-agenda.com\/independence-of-the-judiciary-coalition-statement-on-the-suppression-of-lawyers-freedoms-the-wall-of-impunity-fears-expression\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stipulates<\/a> that lawyers will only be allowed to participate in a conference or legal seminar, or provide an interview or information to a media outlet, social media outlet, website, or group after soliciting and receiving the permission of the Bar Association President to do so. The amendment, which has since been <a href=\"https:\/\/english.legal-agenda.com\/independence-of-the-judiciary-coalition-statement-on-the-repression-of-lawyers-freedoms-2-bar-association-council-doubles-down-on-authoritarianism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">released<\/a> in an updated code of ethics booklet, is an alarming overreach in violation of Lebanese domestic and international legal obligations that gives disproportionate oversight to the Bar Association President; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Daraj_media\/status\/1646207124706410498\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">egregiously curtails<\/a> legal defense work, particularly impact, strategic, and rights litigation which require public engagement, campaigning, and advocacy; and threatens to have reverberating impacts on citizen\u2019s access to justice. Thirteen Lebanese lawyers, including executive director of the Legal Agenda Nizar Saghieh, have submitted appeals to challenge the decision. The Beirut Court of Appeals <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/megaphone_news\/status\/1646544185405612034\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">will issue<\/a> a determination in the case on May 4, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, the Council of the Beirut Bar Association <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/latest\/news\/2023\/04\/lebanon-authorities-must-respect-freedoms-of-the-press-and-legal-profession-and-fundamentally-amend-defamation-laws\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">summoned<\/a>Saghieh for questioning without providing justification for his summons; he is set to appear before it on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/megaphone_news\/status\/1646102281018830849\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thursday, April 20<\/a>. There are serious concerns that this action is intended to lead to Saghieh\u2019s disbarment. Since the summons, Saghieh has also become the target of a harassment campaign on social media, which raises concerns on the potential for escalation.<\/p>\n<p>Saghieh has a long history of defending individual rights; providing a legal defense for activists and journalists; and leading legal battles to bring about transparency and combat corruption. He has provided critical support for the family members and victims of the Beirut Port Explosion. In addition, he serves as the executive director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.legal-agenda.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Legal Agenda<\/a>, a Beirut-based nonprofit which leverages research, media, activism, and litigation \u201cto instigate positive legal change while ensuring its socially fair implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This targeting is believed to be in reprisal for Saghieh\u2019s appeal challenging the Bar Association\u2019s overreach, his outspoken stances, and effective legal work to hold the powerful to account. Summoning Saghieh is intended to silence him and has the potential to chill legal defense work at-large and eat away at access to justice for Lebanese citizens and residents more generally.<\/p>\n<p>We, the undersigned, call on the Beirut Bar Association to withdraw the recent amendments to the code of ethics and to stand on the side of independent legal defense work in the country.\u00a0 We additionally call on the Beirut Bar Association to immediately withdraw its summons, halt all arbitrary disciplinary proceedings against Saghieh, and bring to an end this targeting.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Signatories<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Civil Society Organizations and Bar Associations<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access Now<\/li>\n<li>ADLI<\/li>\n<li>Alternative Press Syndicate (Nakaba Badila)<\/li>\n<li>Amnesty International<\/li>\n<li>Arab Reform Initiative<\/li>\n<li>ARTICLE 19<\/li>\n<li>Association Tunisienne de D\u00e9fense des Libert\u00e9s Individuelles<\/li>\n<li>Business and Human Rights MENA Region<\/li>\n<li>Center for Egyptian Women\u2019s Legal Assistance<\/li>\n<li>Committee for Justice<\/li>\n<li>Egyptian Human Rights Forum (EHRF)<\/li>\n<li>EuroMed Rights<\/li>\n<li>Human Rights Watch<\/li>\n<li>HuMENA for Human Rights and Civic Engagement<\/li>\n<li>Impunity Watch<\/li>\n<li>International Commission of Jurists<\/li>\n<li>IPSI<\/li>\n<li>Lebanese Center for Human Rights (CLDH)<\/li>\n<li>MENA Rights Group<\/li>\n<li>Monitoring Committee on Attacks on Lawyers, International Association of People\u2019s Lawyers (IAPL)<\/li>\n<li>Project on Middle East Democracy (POMED)<\/li>\n<li>Robert F.
