Seydi Ba wrote that the deputy Éric Ciotti had personally asked the Minister of the Interior to investigate him due to the use of his freedom of expression, deemed "dangerous for the Republic." He believed that attacking the remarks of a lawyer, on the contrary, endangered the Republic. Seydi Ba recalled that, according to a statement from the International Union of Lawyers published on October 30, the freedom of expression of lawyers extends to matters of general interest, criticism of the functioning of justice, and questions regarding the actions of public authorities. He indicated that these principles are included in the Basic Principles of the United Nations regarding the role of the bar, adopted in Havana in 1990, and in the Council of Europe Convention for the protection of the profession of lawyer, signed by France on May 13, 2025. He added that his positions could be criticized, but that they did not, in his opinion, justify a political leader asking the executive to act against their author because they were disturbing. Finally, Seydi Ba thanked the International Union of Lawyers for its reminder and stated that he would continue to express himself, even if his remarks displeased Éric Ciotti. #LibertéDexpression #Justice #Démocratie (translated)
