“This year’s Laureates are united in their fight for equality, democracy, justice and freedom. Defying unjust legal systems and dictatorial political regimes, they successfully strengthen human rights, empower civil societies and denounce institutional abuses. This year’s selection of recipients highlights the increasing threats to democracy globally. It is high time that all of us supporting democracy around the world stand up and support each other.”
