A blogueira e ativista de direitos humanos egípcia Nora Younis [Ar] foi agraciada ontem, dia 23, com o Prêmio Anual de Direitos Humanos [En].
Human Rights First hosted its annual dinner and 30th anniversary celebration honoring those at the forefront of the struggle to defend human rights, featuring actress Sigourney Weaver, who will serve as the master of ceremonies, Caroline Kennedy, who will accept an award on behalf of her uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, and singer Mary Chapin Carpenter, who will perform.
Fustat relata [En]:
She shares the prize with Oleg Kozlovsky, a young democracy activist in Russia – a country that slides further from the straight path of democracy for each day it seems. Senator Ted Kennedy is also awarded for his long and distinguished career as a human rights defender.
Human Rights First have been very supportive of human rights in Egypt, during the last years and Campaigned for Saad Eddin Ibrahim, who won the same award in 2002, Alaa and Kareem among others, and I would like to extend my greetings and humble thanks for your support on this happy occasion.
O Human Rights First deu muito apoio aos [defensores dos] direitos humanos no Egito durante os últimos anos, e fez campanha por Saad Eddin Ibrahim, que ganhou o mesmo prêmio em 2002, Alaa e Kareem, entre outros, e eu gostaria de extender minhas saudações e humildes agradecimentos pelo seu apoio nesta feliz ocasião.”
Fustat orgulhosamente partilha a descrição dada pela Humans Right First para a blogueira, dizendo:
This is how they describe Nora:
… When Egyptian soldiers used water cannons and nightsticks to brutally evict Sudanese refugees from a public square in Cairo, Nora Younis was there, taking notes and shooting photos. Her blog of the incident drew international attention to the Egyptian government's abuses against these vulnerable refugees. Nora continues to raise awareness about rampant human rights abuses in Egypt through her compelling blog posts.
… Quando soldados egípcios usavam canhões de água e cassetetes para brutalmente expulsar refugiados sudaneses de uma praça pública no Cairo, Nora Younis estava lá, fazendo anotações e tirando fotos. Sua blogada sobre o incidente chamou a atenção internacional para os abusos do governo egípcio contra estes vulneráveis refugiados. Nora continua a chamar a atenção sobre rampantes abusos dos direitos humanos no Egito através de seus cativantes posts em seu blogue.”
