Ukrainian Lawyers Denied Access to Client, Leading to Medical Emergency

In a recent incident in Ukraine, lawyers from Primus Partners faced significant challenges when attempting to provide legal assistance to a client during a military medical commission. The incident, which occurred in the Dniprovskyi district, involved the lawyer being denied access to their client by police and military personnel. The lawyer, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, "They literally stopped us from reaching our client on the street." This denial of access is a clear violation of the lawyer's professional rights and raises concerns about due process. Adding to the gravity of the situation, the client experienced a medical emergency while being transported, necessitating an ambulance call. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by lawyers in Ukraine during the ongoing war and the importance of ensuring that fundamental legal rights are upheld even amidst conflict. The incident is currently under investigation.
