Lawyers for Lawyers

Advocaten moeten hun beroep onafhankelijk kunnen uitoefenen. Altijd en overal. Ook als dat tegen het zere been is van autoriteiten, instanties of politieke organisaties. De praktijk is vaak schrikbarend anders. Lawyers for Lawyers komt op voor advocaten die worden bedreigd en tegengewerkt in hun beroepsuitoefening. In 2017 voerde Lawyers for Lawyers actie voor tenminste 144 advocaten in 23 landen.
