Having just announced the ceremony of the Martin Ennals Award of Human Rights Defenders for 10 October 2017, I now draw your attention to the possibility to nominate a candidate for the 2018 Martin Ennals Award. The Ennals Award is intended for human rights defenders (HRDs) who are defending the rights of others, while at risk. This could include physical danger, repressive legal processes, or other forms of harassment.
1. The HRD must be currently active (no posthumous nominations).
2. The HRD must be demonstrably at risk.
3. The HRD must work with non-violent means.
Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders
Note that the deadline is 9 November 2017.
