THE Fiji Law Society is worried the profession may be under threat if lawyers are detained by the military for representing their clients.
Society president Devanesh Sharma said this would lead to fear, intimidation and suppression of the bar.
Mr Sharma said the detainment of lawyers Kitione Vuataki and Ratu Savenaca Komaisavai last weekend was of great concern. He said freedom of the bar was an absolute necessity in every country.
