The Government Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Aragon (TSJA) has made public this Monday its great concern over the information that has been disseminated about alleged acts of harassment, surveillance, or intimidation that would have targeted the magistrate Beatriz Biedma and people in her closest circle.
At the same time, and without anticipating assessments of the facts or of possible responsibilities, which will be determined only by the competent Courts, the Government Chamber has wanted to express to the magistrate its institutional support, according to a press release issued by the body itself.
"No judge should carry out their function under fear, pressure, or intimidation. Judicial independence is not a privilege for those who judge but a guarantee for all citizens. It is a manifestation of democracy and the rule of law".
