The Independent: Andrew Buncombe - One Woman’s Silent Quest For Peace
Amnesty International UK Director Kate Allen said:
“This was the 20th year of our awards and it was a vintage year for human rights journalism. “With entries of the highest calibre in category after category it was a hard job for our judges to pick the winners. The awards are fantastic tribute to some of the best journalists in the trade.
“Well done to all the winners, those that were shortlisted and everyone that tries to expose human rights abuses through their journalism. It’s a vital job and we pay tribute to you.”
