A protester in Hong Kong from the China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group holds placards of missing, detained or under-house-arrest lawyers in this Jan. 27, 2011 photo. Rights groups have accused China of extending a crackdown on human rights lawyers from the mainland, which started on July 9, 2015, to Hong Kong.
"They ensure that no one is left behind," the group said adding that the authorities have now extended the crackdown to, despite promising to maintain the city's traditional freedoms and judicial independence. Meanwhile, many others in China have served lengthy jail terms for subversion, often after years held incommunicado in pretrial detention.
The group also said that 13 rights lawyers’ families were subjected to eviction, including lawyer Wang Quanzhang and his family since his release from prison in November 2022. A human rights lawyer using the pseudonym Lu Qiang for fear of reprisals told RFA that while not all human rights attorneys have been treated as badly as Wang, many remain under surveillance to this day."You could say it's everywhere — once they stopped me near the embassy district and the police told me to get in their car, then drove me back two hours to my home. They are still secretly watching us,” Lu added.
