Human rights lawyers dedicate their lives to representing victims in cases of forces disappearances, extrajudicial executions and massacres. But working on emblematic cases carries a very high price. In Colombia, where 90% of human rights violations remain in impunity, stigmatisation, threats and persecution form a part of the daily challenges facing these lawyers. In this video, some of the lawyers who are accompanied by PBI speak about the risks they face, and their motivation to continue defending victims of human rights violations.
