Occupied Crimea: human rights lawyer Aleksey Ladin disbarred

The undersigned international lawyers’ rights and human rights organisations strongly condemn the Tyumen Regional Bar Council’s decision to disbar Russian human rights lawyer Aleksey Ladin in retaliation for his human rights work. We call on the Russian authorities to revoke this decision, cease harassment against him and guarantee that all lawyers in Russia and Russia-occupied territories can conduct their legitimate professional activities without fear of reprisals.
