She added: The Bar Association has announced this position in conjunction with the rest of the unions, but all demands must be formulated in accordance with the constitutional frameworks, and expressed in templates that are supposed to achieve these goals.

Al-Lami explained: The judicial institution is one of the most important of these constitutional bodies, and it should not be in the equation of political pressure, and we should distance ourselves from any actions that affect its independence, and no country can rise without preserving the independence of the judiciary and preserving its prestige.
