The Minister of Justice, Alphonse Charles Wright, expresses displeasure over a recent meeting between the Prime Minister and the country’s magistrates.
In a communiqué, the Minister denounced the meeting and threatened to take disciplinary action against any magistrate who shares information about legal proceedings with a member of the executive.
While legal experts have welcomed the statement, some political figures have criticized the Minister’s actions, accusing him of holding judicial cases involving socio-political actors hostage.
