Alleged threat to the independence of the legal profession. According to the information 19/04/2016
received, the draft law of the Republic of Tajikistan on the Advocacy and the Bar would
establish a Qualification Commission which would operate under the Ministry of Justice
and be responsible for regulating the legal profession. Concerns have been expressed
that the draft law, if passed in its current form, would leave the legal profession
vulnerable to interference from the executive branch of Government.
