Once Again Human Rights Award Goes to Jailed Activist
08.03.2011 | 17:35
The Homo Homini Award will be accepted by representatives of the Kyrgyz political prisoner, Azimjan Askarov at the opening ceremony of the Festival.
"Mr. Askarov receives the award for extraordinary personal courage which inspires him to sustain a rather lonely but even more fierce fight for the observance of human rights and legality in a relatively remote part of one of the Kyrgyzstan provinces," said Simon Panek, Director of People in Need. "The perseverance with which he has followed his path despite threats, detention and imprisonment along with physical abuse he suffered is admirable. Besides awarding his long-term and dangerous work in human rights promotion, we believe the award will direct some attention to Mr. Askarov's currently very serious situation," added Panek.
