I’m curious how a law seeking to prohibit anyone from attempting to prove their own innocence could even be taken seriously by any judge or lawyer with a successful education from a legitimate formal legal institution.

Preventing someone from attempting to prove their own innocence is similar to the witch trials of old and a grotesque violation of human rights. Any sovereign legal system preventing defending ones innocence through modern forensic means, has little grounds to protest if as a result their legal system is openly mocked and ignored by other countries that do support defending self innocence.

The fact that a supposed modern nation with elected officials elections should have a miscarriage of justice this grotesque seems akin to a theocracy or monarchy that decides at arbitrary the outcomes of legal proceedings without any actual consistent basis for ensuring justice is upheld.
