Description
Known in Hungary as "the judge who said no" to Viktor Orban, Andras Baka was suddenly sacked in 2012 after he claimed that lowering the retirement age of judges from 70 to 62 was actually a purge in disguise. The law European Court of Justice deemed his dismissal illegal, and Baka won another case against the government in the European Court of Human Rights, which said his removal was a violation of freedom of expression. In an interview with AFP Baka decries the lack of rigour in Hungary's judicial system when dealing with alleged corruption cases. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
