&lt;p&gt;They are opposing the relaxation of a law governing contempt of court and decided to boycott court proceedings on Thursday (today).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On, Wednesday lawyers also pledged to oppose the proposed bill that will allow members of parliament to have dual citizenship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Parliament is expected to to approve the dual citizenship bill after the Supreme Court disqualified about a dozen MPs for having dual nationalities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Likewise, Senate has approved the contempt of Court Bill 2012 despite the opposition had walked-out from the Senate session to show their dissent over the issue. The Bill has already been passed by the National Assembly.&lt;/p&gt;
