A longstanding Constitutional Court decision establishing that biased judges cannot administer justice continues to be disregarded within the judicial system, according to legal experts. The court had previously determined that judicial independence is compromised when bias is present, rendering such judicial acts unimplementable.
Current judicial practices appear to contradict this fundamental principle, with observers noting that rulings from judges widely perceived as partial continue to be enforced despite clear indications of prejudice. Legal analysts point to recent developments as evidence of ongoing political influence within the judicial process.
The situation gained additional attention following recent statements from executive branch officials regarding detainees, which many interpret as confirmation of politically motivated prosecutions. These developments have reinforced concerns about the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary from political pressure.
Calls for the release of individuals considered political prisoners have intensified amid growing consensus about the need to restore judicial integrity and ensure that constitutional protections are properly implemented. Legal professionals emphasize that until the Constitutional Court’s standards are fully observed, public confidence in the justice system will remain compromised.
