In the crystal structure of the title compound, C12H8Cl4N2, mol­ecules lie on crystallographic twofold axes at the centre of the C-C bonds linking the benzene rings, such that the asymmetric unit consists of a half-mol­ecule. The individual mol­ecules participate in inter­molecular N-H...N, N-H...Cl, C-H...Cl and Cl...Cl [3.4503 (3) Å] inter­actions.
