The Chamber of Advocates yesterday expressed its solidarity with lawyer Tonio Azzopardi, who was assaulted in his Valletta office on Monday.
Without prejudicing the rights of the lawyers or suspects in this particular case, the Chamber urged whoever holds the realm of human rights close to heart to do anything possible to hinder such assaults.
Meanwhile, sources said the police are investigating two men over the assault of Dr Azzopardi.
Dr Azzopardi was assaulted and beaten by a man and his son at about 5.45 p.m. because of the outcome of a court case.
