Congressional-Executive Commission on Ch

China's Human Rights Lawyers Congressional-Executive Commission on Ch

At this roundtable our distinguished panel will discuss China's human rights lawyers and their role in advancing the rule of law in China. We will examine the relationship between these lawyers, the Chinese government, and the Communist Party, and explore why Chinese authorities recently have stripped some prominent rights lawyers of their lawyers' licenses. We will delve into documented incidents of increased harassment of human rights lawyers in China, and ask what the future now holds for them, and also ask what their treatment suggests about the development of the rule of law in China more generally.
