Association of 8 May 2013, Mr Aslan Ismayilov, a prominent lawyer engaged in the pursuit of several

The CCBE writes to express its serious concerns over the situation of Mr Le Quoc Quan, a prominent human rights defender, held in solitary detention in Hoa Lo Prison since his arrest in December 2012.
Prior to being disbarred as a lawyer in 2007 on suspicion of engaging in “activities to overthrow the regime”, he represented many victims of human rights violations.
The CCBE has been informed that over the past several years, Le Quoc Quan has been the target of multiple hostile acts by Vietnamese authorities. Most notably, he was arrested and detained in 2007 and 2011. In August 2012, he was hospitalised after being severely beaten by unknown assailants. This assault was never investigated by competent authorities.
Furthermore, the CCBE has been informed that in December 2012, Mr Le Quoc Quan was arrested on allegations of tax evasion. Since then, he has been detained in solitary confinement. According to information that we received, it seems that during his detention he has been allowed to communicate with his lawyer only once and has been refused all contact with his family. His trial will take place on 9 July 2013.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

HISTORY- XII-Theme 3 - Kinship, Caste and Class.pptx
Arabie Saoudite : le CCBE défend Me Waleed Abu Al-Khair
1. Le Président
The President
King Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud
The Custodian of the two Holy Mosques
Office of His Majesty the King
Royal Court, Riyadh
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Brussels, 23 October 2013
Re: Concerns regarding the arrest of Mr Waleed Abu Al-Khair, a human rights lawyer
Your Excellency,
I am writing to you on behalf of the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE), which,
through the national Bars and Law Societies of the Member States of the European Union and the
European Economic Area, represents more than 1 million European lawyers. In addition to
membership from EU bars, it also has observer representatives from a further eleven European
countries’ bars.
The CCBE, through its Human Rights Committee, places great emphasis on respect for human rights
and the rule of law. The CCBE is particularly concerned by the situation of human rights defenders in
the world.
The CCBE writes to express its serious concerns over the arrest of Mr Waleed Abu Al-Khair, a
prominent human rights defender and lawyer and founder of “Monitor of Human Rights in Saudi
Arabia” who has been actively engaged in the defence of activists jailed without charges and of
women banned from voting in Saudi Arabia.
According to the information we have received, on 2 October 2013 Mr Waleed Abu Al-Khair was
arrested in Jeddah on charges of “organising illegal gatherings” in his house. Following his arrest, on 3
October 2013, Mr Waleed Abu Al-Khair was reportedly questioned by the Jeddah Public Prosecutor
and released on bail.
The arrest of Mr Waleed Abu Al-Khair constitutes the latest step in the judicial harassment against this
human rights lawyer who has been the target of several hostile acts over the last two years. The
CCBE has been informed that, since 2012, Waleed Abu Al-Khair has been tried before the Saudi
Special Criminal Court on charges of, among other things, “calling for a constitutional monarchy,”
“talking to the media with the intention of harming the reputation of country,” “insulting the judiciary and
its staff,” and “communicating with foreign quarters.” In addition, in March 2012, the Ministry of the
Interior confirmed that, following a decision of the Investigation and Public Prosecution Authority, a
travel ban was imposed on Mr Waleed Abu Al-Khair for an indefinite period.
In this context, the CCBE wishes to draw to your Excellency’s attention the following articles of the
United Nations Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers (1990):
Article 16 states that:
Governments shall ensure that lawyers (a) are able to perform all of their professional
functions without intimidation, hindrance, harassment or improper interference; (b) are able to
travel and to consult with their clients freely both within their own country and abroad; and (c)
shall not suffer, or be threatened with, prosecution or administrative, economics or other

2. sanctions for any action taken in accordance with recognized professional duties, standards
and ethics.
Moreover Article 23 states that:
Lawyers like other citizens are entitled to freedom of expression, belief, association and
assembly. In particular, they shall have the right to take part in public discussion of matters
concerning the law, the administration of justice and the promotion and protection of human
rights and to join or form local, national or international organizations and attend their
meetings, without suffering professional restrictions by reason of their lawful action or their
membership in a lawful organization. In exercising these rights, lawyers shall always conduct
themselves in accordance with the law and the recognized standards and ethics of the legal
profession.
In view of the above, the CCBE respectfully urges your Excellency to take immediate and effective
steps to ensure that all the charges against Mr Waleed Abu Al-Khair are dropped. The CCBE also
implores you to guarantee that human rights lawyers in Saudi Arabia are able to carry out their
legitimate human rights activities, in all circumstances, without fear of reprisal and free from all
restrictions, including judicial harassment.
Yours sincerely,
EVANGELOS TSOUROULIS
CCBE President
