In Krasnodar, the council of the Chamber of Lawyers of the Krasnodar Territory (APKK) terminated the status of lawyer Mikhail Benyash (recognized as a foreign agent) for three years, the lawyer himself told Kommersant about this. The Council recognized that the lawyer violated professional ethical standards by posting posts on Telegram with harsh statements about the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation and the leadership of the bar.
In the disciplinary proceedings of the APKC, two communications from a lawyer published in October 2022 were considered. In the first case, Mikhail Benyash expressed his disagreement with the decision to recognize him as a foreign agent, while he gave several unflattering characteristics to the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, promising to challenge the status of a foreign agent. In the second case, Mr. Benyash criticized the leadership of the Russian Chambers of Lawyers, which, in his opinion, does not express the interests of the professional community.
The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, and then the council of the APKC, considered the statements of Mikhail Benyash in the Telegram channel to be incorrect and offensive. The lawyer does not recognize the offensiveness of the posts, insisting that he has the right to a critical opinion, and the outrageousness of some of his phrases is an expressive speech means.
Mikhail Benyash told Kommersant that he would challenge the decision of the council of the chamber.
