Ten years ago, the Chinese government began a large-scale crackdown on human rights lawyers and activists.

Many lawyers and their families were monitored and harassed by the police; some were sentenced to prison, and others lost their jobs.

Now, although some lawyers still persist in their work, due to government suppression, fewer lawyers dare to speak out for human rights.

Human rights organizations call on governments worldwide to pay attention to the situation of Chinese human rights lawyers and hope they can receive freedom and fair treatment.
