Hans Thoolen on Human Rights Defenders and their awards

Even this blog cannot keep up with all the news on individual human rights defenders. For those who want to see more, there is also: “HRDs in the News“. It is a regular news round-up in which Front Line draws together news about human rights defenders who have been appearing in the world media. In the latest edition, you can find amongst others:

• The Independent report on the detention of Egyptian HRD Yara Sallam;
• Al-Ahram Online report on the assassination of Salwa Bugaighis in Libya;
• The Guardian and The Independent report on the threats faced by environmental rights defenders in Peru
