Bargaining and manipulation within the justice system, where prosecutors and officers use power for personal gain and to punish lawyers who do their job, must end, because these practices damage the integrity of the profession, violate professional freedom and destroy public trust in justice...
Frontal attack on the legal profession: Unjust arrest for free expression in the courtroom, I will file a criminal complaint against the police officer and the prosecutor at SPAK
Yesterday, on 17.10.2025, at the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction in Elbasan, a hearing was held to determine the security measure for citizen Maksim Suçi, where the prosecution was represented by prosecutor Gjergji Ceka, and the client was defended by lawyer Ulian Barjami.
During the hearing, lawyer Barjami found video evidence that clearly demonstrated that his client had not used violence against the police officers, thus violating the allegations of the minutes submitted by the prosecutor. He publicly declared that he would file a report for falsification of evidence against the prosecutor, indicating the latter's responsibility for inventing a false situation.
Prosecutor Ceka, irritated by this statement, reacted in an unacceptable manner by openly threatening lawyer Barjami with the words: “You should be arrested, you will be arrested”, further turning his head nervously towards the police officers present in the hall. Lawyer Barjami returned the professional reply, emphasizing that they would file a criminal report for violation of the law by the prosecutor.
At this point, Judge Megi Strakosha intervened, explaining to lawyer Barjami that he should avoid this discussion and focus on interpreting the current evidence, without dealing with the actions that would be taken later. The hearing continued calmly and ended without any further debate.
However, prosecutor Ceka did not leave it at that. He, with the open intention of hindering the activity of legal defense and justifying an arbitrary detention, filed a criminal complaint against lawyer Barjami. In accordance with this complaint, today, on 18.10.2025, lawyer Barjami was summoned by Judicial Police officers to the Elbasan Local Police Directorate for “some clarifications”.
After many hours of waiting, in the afternoon, police officer Zmeralda Mehilli detained lawyer Barjami as a suspect for the criminal offenses: “Threat due to duty”, “Obstacle and assault of a judge” and “Threat of a judge”, arguing that the lawyer had threatened the prosecutor and judicial police officers. The report was written and signed at 17.40, although the detention actually occurred around 15.00.
This case constitutes an extremely dangerous precedent: a lawyer is banned for statements he made in the context of his client's defense in the courtroom, to argue the falsity of evidence submitted by the prosecutor.
This is a flagrant violation of the principles of freedom of expression in the judicial process and of the functional duty of the lawyer. It is unacceptable for the prosecutor and the police to use the justice institutions to intimidate lawyers and manipulate procedural acts with the aim of punishing them.
In this way, Judicial Police Officer Mehilli has openly violated her functional duty, arbitrarily detaining a lawyer for a clear professional act and manipulating the minutes. This action, in addition to damaging the lawyer's reputation and the integrity of the judicial process, endangers the entire legal profession and the rule of law in Albania.
As a lawyer, I declare that I will file a criminal complaint against Officer Mehilli for violation of the law and violation of functional duty. This is a dangerous precedent that should raise the alarm among all our colleagues: neither prosecutors nor police officers can silence a lawyer, cannot stop him for free professional expression, and cannot use institutions for personal revenge or intimidation.
I invite all my colleagues to react to this case, to protect their professional rights and freedoms and not to allow the justice system to degrade into an instrument of intimidation and blackmail for lawyers. Our profession and the rule of law cannot tolerate arbitrariness and illegal cooperation between the police and the prosecution to hinder the legal activity of lawyers.
More serious than any other in this incident is the fact that the prosecutor, who should act as an independent guarantor of the law, has taken on the role of an accuser and is willing to use the justice institutions for personal purposes and to punish a lawyer performing his professional duty.
This action is not simply a procedural violation, but a pure corrupt bargain and illegal influence between the officer and the prosecutor, where the prosecutor's influence and position are used to intimidate and frighten legal defense, violating freedom of speech, the integrity of the lawyer and public trust in justice.
Such behavior sets a dangerous precedent and clearly shows that the position of prosecutor can be used as a tool for influence and corruption, putting at risk not only an individual, but the entire justice system.
Bargaining and manipulation within the justice system, where prosecutors and officers use power for personal gain and to punish lawyers who perform their duties, must end, because these practices damage the integrity of the profession, violate professional freedom, and destroy public trust in justice.
Oficerja e policisë gjyqësore, vartëse e Prokurorit urdhëron NDALIMIN e avokatit, që është njera nga palët në proces, ekuivalent me Prokurorin. Kjo është çmenduri që vetëm në Albanistan ndodh. Spitalet Psikiatrike duhet të shtojnë stafin se pacientë të rinj do ja mësyjnë. Suksese police injorante. Mund dhe ta gjuaje me armë Avokatin, e pastaj të sajoje sulm të Avokatit.

Për të ruajtur popullin ka funksionin Shikoni këtë rast, se si qytetari (avokati), paguan tatimet që prokurori të merr pagën, dhe kur qytetari dëshiron të mbrohet me ligj, goditet nga prokurori i cili duhet të jet në shërbim të qytetarëve. Dhe nuk ka aspak turp Ky është sistemi i ndërtuar për oligarkë të cilën mbrohen nga prokurorë dhe gjyqtarë. Asgjë nuk ka për popull Vetëm mashtrim ka Pyes: Çfar ju rrjedh në vena shqiptarëve!
Si mundet që një OPGJ të ngreje një akuze të tille? Si mundet të ndalohet avokati nga Policia pa një vendim Gjykate? Prokurori dhe Avokati janë pale të barabarta në procesin gjyqësore! Asnjera prej tyre nuk është Gjykatë? Është çmenduri nëse është e vertete!
