In the case of criminal and civil proceedings, sure, but a boycott on my part is an application of my own moral compass, not of the law. I don't owe anyone a "fair trial" for the judgement that guides my own free actions.
If for any other reason than absolute necessity you work for an organization that serves authoritarian, anti-democratic regimes with tools designed specifically to implement policies to that end, I will think poorly of you for no other reason. I won't trust that you are able to make decent moral choices. I will base my own conduct on that judgement. My conduct insofar that it's clearly legal should not be the subject of a fair trial.
