Representatives of the Coalition for Transparency in the Election of Judges of the High Courts yesterday insisted that the process be public and televised and the selection not be held behind closed doors as they suspect is the intention. Coalition member Samir Chami Isa expressed his concern that the draft of the ruling that will be used to choose the judges has not been made public, as reported in El Dia.
