Across the world, lawyers are increasingly facing intimidation, surveillance, cyberattacks, detention, and even imprisonment — often for defending human rights or politically unpopular clients. A recent global report highlighted Belarus, where over 130 lawyers have been stripped of their licenses since the 2020 elections. Legal organizations, including the Bar Council and the Alliance for Lawyers at Risk, are sounding the alarm, calling these attacks a direct threat to the rule of law and access to justice. With high-profile support from UK legal leaders and coordinated international advocacy, the legal community is mobilizing to protect endangered colleagues and confront government efforts to silence them.
