The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) wrote to the President of Russia to express concern over threats received by lawyer Dmitry Egoshin for representing Vladimir Ott, who claimed to be physically assaulted by police. Egoshin received direct threats from suspects and their supervisor during a police lineup. The CCBE urged the President to promptly investigate the threats to Egoshin's safety, ensure his physical integrity is preserved, and guarantee all lawyers in Russia can perform their duties without fear of intimidation or harassment.

Patrice Florvilus is a prominent human rights lawyer and executive director of the NGO Defenders of the Oppressed (Défenseurs des Opprimés – DOP). He is currently the legal representative of Mr Darlin Lexima and of the family of Mr. Méris Civil in relation to their recent arrest and beating. Reports indicate that the two men were arrested and brutally beaten on the 15th of April by policemen from Delmas 33 police station; Mr Civil died in police custody, while Mr Lexima was released without charges.
The CCBE has been informed that, starting from 15th of April, Mr Florvilus has been the target of multiple threats and acts of intimidation.
According to the information that we received, on the 15th, 17th and 19th of April Mr Florvilus was repeatedly followed by the same police car. In addition, on the 11th of May, following a press conference held by the organisation DOP on the killing of Mr Civil, he was stopped on the street by two people in the municipality of Delma in Port-au-Prince. The two men, who identified themselves as policemen,

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.

1. Le Président
The President
Vladimir Putin
The President of the Russian Federation
23 Ilyinka Street Moscow 103132
Russia
Brussels, 24 February 2014
Re: Concerns regarding threats against lawyer Dmitry Egoshin
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 twelve 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 concern over threats received by Mr Dmitry Egoshin in his role
as defence lawyer to Mr Vladimir Ott, who claims to have been physically assaulted by police and
private security guards.
Mr Egoshin is a prominent lawyer working for the Mari-El regional branch of the Committee Against
Torture (CAT), a human rights organisation engaged in fighting against torture and other cruel,
inhuman or degrading treatment that also provides free legal assistance and representation to victims.
According to the information that we received, on 6 February 2014, a police lineup was arranged by
the Inquiry Unit of Police Department No. 3 under the Directorate of the Interior for the city of YoshkarOla aimed at identifying those responsible for assaulting Vladimir Ott. During this activity, Mr Egoshin
received direct threats from the suspects and their superiors, including Mr Sergey Rybakov, the Head
of Okhrana, a security company. The CCBE was informed that a request has been filed with the
competent authorities for Dmitry Egoshin and Vladimir Ott to be enrolled in the state witness protection
programme and that this incident has been reported to the Ministry of the Interior. However, the CCBE
is alarmed by these facts that show a threatening environment for lawyers engaged in the defence of
human rights in the Russian Federation.
In this context, the CCBE wishes to draw to your 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
sanctions for any action taken in accordance with recognized professional duties, standards
and ethics.
Furthermore, Article 17 states that:
Conseil des barreaux européens – Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe
association internationale sans but lucratif - RPM Bruxelles 0.467.250.186
Rue Joseph II, 40 – 1000 Bruxelles - Belgium – Tel.+32 (0)2 234 65 10 – Fax.+32 (0)2 234 65 11/12 – E-mail ccbe@ccbe.eu – www.ccbe.eu
2. Where the security of lawyers is threatened as a result of discharging their functions, they
shall be adequately safeguarded by the authorities.
In view of the above, the CCBE respectfully urges you to take effective steps to ensure that the threats
received by Mr Egoshin are promptly and impartially investigated. The CCBE also urges you to take all
necessary measures to guarantee that Mr Egoshin’s physical and psychological integrity are
preserved and that lawyers in Russia are able to perform their professional duties in all circumstances,
without fear of hindrance, intimidation and harassment.
Yours sincerely,
Aldo BULGARELLI
CCBE President
