人道中國共同主辦的第四屆人權律師節活動，網路舉行，歡迎參加。
今年的七月就是「709大抓捕」五週年了。 今年王全璋律師終於被釋放與家人團聚，但仍然有「709大抓捕」受害人困於牢獄之中。
已經被釋放出來的人權律師，還有新生代的律師現正面對中共政權不斷變更的打壓招數。 雖然打壓看似變得溫和了，但其實只是溫水煮青蛙，規模一直沒有變小，只是變為更多用行政手段，並逼使酷刑受害人不得透露被酷刑細節，以避過像「709大 抓捕」時候的國際社會嚴厲譴責。
去年12月更是在廈門會議後發生了新一輪對人權律師及公民社會的打壓。
這次活動邀請了國際學者、律師及社運人士與中國人權律師同席討論兩個議題：一個為「以新冠肺炎為背景：維權律師與中國社會」，另一個為「709之前與之後：中國維權 運動的困局與前途」。 當天亦會頒發兩個獎項，一是「中國人權律師獎」，二是「中國法治人權貢獻獎」，以答謝這一年來對中國法治及人權有貢獻的人權律師及國際人士。
