Al-Ramidi urges lawyers to resume talks

The article highlights the former Minister Mustafa Ramid's call to suspend the lawyers' strike protesting the new profession regulation law. It emphasizes that continuing the strike after the law has been approved and published in the official gazette, especially during the electoral period, would not yield practical results. Instead, it suggests that the strike should be temporarily halted to open a dialogue with the upcoming government and to review the provisions of the law that professional bodies consider necessary to amend. Ramid also pointed out that the nature of the legal profession requires less costly protest actions and stressed that ongoing strikes harm the rights of litigants as well as the rights of lawyers themselves. He warned that if the situation persists, it could lead to unpredictable consequences, including the introduction of judicial procedures allowing criminal cases to be discussed without the presence of lawyers. He called for respect for professional institutions and the law, highlighting the importance of dialogue and negotiation with the new government to modify the relevant provisions, rather than continuing a comprehensive strike indefinitely.
