Bearers of Hope: Risks and challenges for human rights lawyers in ColombiaHuman rights lawyers dedicate their lives to representing victims in cases of forced disappearances, extrajudicial executions and massacres. But working on emblematic cases comes with a very high price. In Colombia, where 90% of human rights violations remain in impunity, stigmatisation, threats and persecution are part of the daily pressures these lawyers must face. In this video, some of the lawyers accompanied by PBI speak about the risks they face and what motivates them to continue their work representing victims of human rights violations. |
