What they say

“It is a great pleasure to get in touch with Lawyers for Lawyers. Thank you for the amazing and tremendous work you have done for me. It was your voice, attention and monitoring that led eventually for the government to release on bail.”

“Lawyers for Lawyers is an ally for lawyers, and an ally for human rights defenders. It is a great ally for myself. And all good allies are precious.”

"As lawyers for the persecuted people, we ourselves are persecuted and labelled as lawyers of the terrorists, and worse as terrorists. This is where Lawyers for Lawyers comes in with great significance, to support us so we can continue to support our clients. So, Kudos to L4L!.”

“I am very grateful to Lawyers for Lawyers for the support, and I am sure that all the international attention to my case has contributed to my release.”
