对人权捍卫者进行压制和恐吓的一个常见方式是使用司法系统。司法骚扰可以包括刑事指控,民事诉讼或行政诉讼。对人权捍卫者的常用指控包括违反了抗议法、非政府组织法或公共秩序法,甚至是完全捏造的恐怖主义罪、颠覆罪或危害国家安全罪。许多人权捍卫者被判长期徒刑,以此造成对更广泛的人权群体的恐吓。即便人权捍卫者最终被宣判无罪,司法骚扰也耗费了他们投入人权工作的时间、精力和资源。
The work of human rights defenders becomes uncomfortable and frustrating, as those in power use all the tools at their disposal to injure, kill, detain, delegitimise and criminalise the work of those of us who dedicate ourselves to defending hope.
