The prize will be presented during a special ceremony scheduled for December 13, 2023.
Brussels: The European Union has made a significant announcement, bestowing the prestigious Sakharov Prize for the year 2023 upon Mahsa Amini from Iran.
This award stands as a testament to her unwavering commitment to human rights and freedom of thought. Mahsa Amini's story is one of bravery and resilience.
She faced unjust incarceration in Iran for the act of improperly wearing a hijab.
Tragically, her time in custody ended in her untimely demise.
Her death sent shockwaves across Iran and ignited widespread protests, reflecting the deep-seated yearning for justice and human rights.
Mahsa Amini's story highlights the ongoing struggles for human rights and freedom of thought, not only in Iran but across the world.
Her courageous stance and the impact she has had on advocating for human rights will be celebrated at a special ceremony, scheduled to take place at the European Parliament on December 13, 2023.
The world has heard the chants of Women. Life. Liberty.
