Spotlight on lawyers under threat

An art exhibition about global threats against lawyers, On the front line for justice, is running until 20 March

It features stories of resilience and courage through art and mixed media, honouring those who have been targeted, imprisoned or lost their life.

Featured pieces include two hundred and thirty eight, an installation inspired by the life of Ebru Timtik, a human rights lawyer who died in prison following a hunger strike protesting the denial of fair trial rights in Turkey. 

Law Society president Mark Evans said it was ‘a privilege’ to host the exhibition at the Law Society’s Chancery Lane headquarters.
