The lawyer was released/ Will Maks Haxhia continue to maintain the boycott

Following the police detention of lawyer Ulian Barjami, on charges of threatening prosecutor Gjergj Ceka, while both were present in the courtroom during a trial, the National Chamber of Advocates, led by Maks Haxhia, decided in record time to boycott all court hearings from October 20-25.

Maks Haxhia acted differently when the judge, the late Astrit Kalaja, was murdered. He did not show solidarity with the boycott of the justice institutions, the KLGJ and KLP, but followed Erion Veliaj's agenda, boycotting the sessions on October 9-10, precisely when the dismissed mayor was holding sessions at the GJKKO.

He did the same thing 10 days later, using the lawyer who had a fight with the prosecutor in Elbasan, Maks Haxhia issued a circular expressing solidarity not with his colleague, but with Mr. Veliaj, as the latter appears before the Criminal Court tomorrow.

What happens now?

The lawyer arrested for threatening the prosecutor was released.

Will Maks Haxhia continue to play devil's advocate?

Or could it occur to anyone that Maks Haxhia might have incited the lawyer himself to conflict with the prosecutor and have an alibi to issue the shameful order to block court hearings at all levels of the judiciary?!

Aren't these stories of boycotts similar to the delays in trials that Maks Haxhia used to have?!/ CNA
