The non-governmental lawyers association called the shooting an attack on the rule of law, while Coreth Naudé fights for her life in ICU.Lawyers for Human Rights has called the shooting of advocate Coreth Naudé a “direct assault on the principles of justice”, saying it condemns the incident in the strongest possible terms.
Naudé was shot three times in an apparent assassination attempt while arriving at her hotel parking lot in Durban North, near the Gateway shopping centre, on Thursday afternoon.
“Attempts to intimidate and harm those who uphold the law will not be tolerated in a democratic society.“No individual or group is above the law, and it is imperative that those responsible for this crime are apprehended and held accountable.”“This shocking act is intended to intimidate officers of court to abandon the vital work they’re performing in furtherance of our country’s legal system,” he said.
“It undermines the authority of the State. Acts such as these and those who perpetrate must be resisted and defeated by all of us working together for the betterment of our country and ensuring that none is above the law.
