An excellent choice for the 2025 Sakharov Prize, – this is how EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos echoes the announcement of the Sakharov Prize winners by European Parliament President Roberta Metsola.
“Strong leaders do not fear independent journalists. When journalists are silenced, repression and corruption thrive. We need more independent voices like Andrzej Poczobut and Mzia Amaglobeli. They must be set free. Immediately,” – Marta Kos writes on X.
For information, imprisoned journalists – the founder of Netgazeti and Batumelebi Mzia Amaglobeli and Belarusian journalist Andrzej Poczobut – became the winners of the 2025 Sakharov Prize.
