Where is the evidence for the involvement of judges in the attempted coup?
"The international media inform the world community that approximately 3000 judges have been removed in the immediately following the attempted coup day. No evidence was not announced that even one of these judges somehow was involved in the attempted coup," said the the position of the MAC-EAC.
The opinion points out universal standards adopted in law: that the removal of a judge, it constitutes an encroachment on the constitutionally guaranteed independence can be provided only in cases of particularly strong presumption of serious misconduct.

Disciplinary proceedings and removals were undertaken by the Council in relation to the judges after their decision, which did not comply with the expectations of the government.
