- Four prominent Chinese human rights lawyers, members of the "709 lawyers" who were disbarred in connection to a crackdown on independent legal advocacy that began in 2015, have been subject to a pattern of harassment in Beijing, including the denial of access to utilities, constant surveillance by unidentified men, and detention.
- The lawyers have continued to do work that does not require a law license, providing much-needed representation to people facing political charges and arbitrary decisions by authorities. Pressure from Beijing likely aims to force the advocates to leave the capital and return to their hometowns.
