（中国人权捍卫者网络——2017年12月10日）——在纪念今年的12月10日世界人权日之际，中国人权捍卫者网络（CHRD）认为，国际社会必须非常警惕中国政府全球攻势，中国正试图瓦解国际人权的核心准则。自2017年1月习近平在日内瓦万国宫发表演说以来，中国政府已经重新开始推销「中国特色人权观」，将「发展」置于人权之上，用经济增长取代保护经济社会人权。这一轮新的攻势标志着习近平“复兴中国”的民族主义运动出现了对外扩张的拐点，开始向全世界推销「中国模式」。

（中国人权捍卫者网络CHRD – 2017年11月30日） 无论是在公共空间和个人生活领域，中国广泛存在着妇女受到性别歧视和权利受侵犯的现象。 比如针对妇女的暴力非常普遍，而且这类事件往往得不到司法机关调查，犯罪嫌疑人却逍遥法外。在习近平治下，对妇女权益的保护更像是一场海市蜃楼。习近平正不断强化党对公民社会的管控，一些妇女人权捍卫者和从事女权倡导的非政府组织成为了政府的打压目标。在标示11月25日“消除针对妇女暴力国际日”和11月29日的“妇女人权捍卫者国际日”之际，面对中国当今现状，中国妇女所处的恶劣环境令人无比担忧。

（中国人权捍卫者2017年11月21日星期二）中国政府必须立即释放优秀的人权律师江天勇。今天江律师在长沙市中级人民法院被宣判为两年有期徒刑，罪证是他的捍卫人权和法治的行为。 2017年8月，长沙中级人民法院开庭审理江律师，无论是从诉讼的程序上还是刑法实体上看，一切都是在弄虚作假，是在强行构陷江律师入罪。 从对江天勇的关押到对其不公平的审理和判决，种种迹像显示了当局对公民权利的侵犯肆无忌惮，这其中有强迫失踪， 阻挠家属聘请的律师为其辩护，不顾无罪推定原则，通过官媒进行污蔑江律师。这是持续近两年的镇压律师运动中，最新的一起针对人权律师下达的判决。从习近平执政以来，对人权律师的镇压运动于2015年达到峰值。
