Faithful Lawyer R. Berisha has reacted again after the release of Hashim Miftar, the citizen who was detained for 48 hours after his cow had entered the court of the Court in Gracanica. This time around, Berisha has thanked all those who reacted to the case, warning that the greatest concern is not only the ban on a citizen, but the fact that his freedom was turned into a matter of public mobilization, the Signal newspaper reports.
The case, which the signal made public Saturday, prompted numerous reactions to the legality and proportion of the ban. Miftari was later released in regular procedure, the decision that was officially confirmed by the Constitutional Prosecutor in Pristina.
In his new response, Berisha has stressed that the release of citizens is good news, but the way the case received public attention should serve as a warning to institutions.
A shepherd was released yesterday. But what should bother us all is that freedom of a citizen became a matter of public mobilization!
According to Berisha, the case testifies to the importance of free media, professionals and citizens in rejecting decisions considered arbitrary.
He has praised the role of the signal reporting in opening public debate, stressing that civic engagement should not end with the release of one person.
) Referee takes courage where society is silent, while injustice finds space whenever power remains without control and opposition, Berisha has declared.
The lawyer has underlined that criticism of the decisions of justice institutions is not an attack on justice, but, according to him, is part of the responsibility to protect it.
As a lawyer, I have always believed that justice is not served by silence. Loyalty to justice requires the courage to oppose unjust decisions, to hold authority accountable, and to remind every institution that power is not a privilege to the citizen, but a responsibility to him, he wrote.
Discretion is not a license for referees. Authority is not immune to criticism, it is another message.
Berisha has added that he does not expect a public response to resolve the problems of the justice system, but believes that rejecting any injustice helps build a stronger culture of institutional responsibility.
In the end, it has conveyed a message to protect ordinary citizens in the face of power.
I enjoyed my release yesterday. However, I would much rather enjoy a reality where no citizen would need news to respect freedom, Berisha wrote.
The reaction has concluded with the words:
A shepherd’s license should not depend on our voice. But as long as a citizen is in danger of standing without a voice in the face of power, our silence cannot be a choice! )
The signal where the truth speaks before the news!
