The Ethiopian court resumed Friday's trial of Johar Muhammad by listening to witness statements as usual behind the curtain without disclosing their identity.
The most prominent of what Johar Muhammad spoke in court today is about the judicial system quoted from his lawyer... He expressed his disappointment and stated the following:
′′ All demands or rights of popular movement must start reforming the judiciary by securing independence from politics and if the judiciary is corrupted, how do we protect people's dignity, honor, money and symptoms....
In Ethiopia, the politicization of the judiciary and the establishment of military courts to prosecute and prosecute political opponents, not the son of the moment, it is part of the corruption of the state... Even the same legal texts do not include and do not adopt any principle of immunization of the independence of the judiciary and separation of powers..
Keeping opponents for years in prison without being tried or tried military, these were the first letters of adapting the law, hacking the judiciary and re-installing the judiciary to suit his policies and subject him to the ruling authority of the country.
The real cleansing must be taken place within the judicial institution than it was in the light of the years of tyranny and corruption, so we achieve protection of rights and freedoms and social balance, as independent judiciary is an interest for the homeland and a necessary refuge for society and the whole country. The judicial crisis must also be addressed through fundamental constitutional amendments.. Johar Muhammad said that the integrity of the judiciary is a prerequisite for addressing corruption and achieving peace and stability... And by achieving it we reach a peaceful society that believes in the rule of law.. And I don't say this to push my innocence or your pleading, what is the value of the slogans of credibility and integrity and you lack it, but offend the justice system, fairness and flagrant violation of laws, sudden, waste of time and lack of appreciation for the defense authority and what They do it to push the wheel of the rule of law..... If you want, release us and if you want, kill us... It's not that important anymore.. We are more concerned for future generations about the form of the judicial system that doesn't work than Their time and not seeking justice and everything they do is providing legal cover for different power practices, especially in their accounts with opposition political forces..
What is the purpose of the judiciary if it is not to protect Ethiopian civil society and the interests and rights of people and secures proper justice?
Judicial function should not be recited according to governments change because the logic of justice stems from the logic of the judicial institution and not the disputes of individuals and authorities.
