Mahsa Amini, the woman who died in police custody, is awarded EU human rights prize_我的网站

A |     　　香港8月24日电（谢妞）由香港大公文汇传媒集团主办的全球独角兽大会24日在香港会展中心开幕。    STRASBOURG, France -- Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in police custody in Iran last year, sparking worldwide protests against the country’s conservative Islamic theocracy, was awarded the European Union’s top human rights prize on Thursday.The EU award, named for Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, was created in 1988 to honor individuals or groups who defend human rights and fundamental freedoms. Sakharov, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, died in 1989.Other finalists this year included Vilma Núñez de Escorcia and Roman Catholic Bishop Rolando Álvarez — two emblematic figures in the fight for the defense of human rights in Nicaragua — and a trio of women from Poland, El Salvador and the United States leading a fight for “free, safe and legal abortion.”Amini died on Sept. 16, 2022, after she was arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s mandatory headscarf law. European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said that day will “live in infamy,” adding that her ”brutal murder" marked a turning point.“It has triggered a women-led movement that is making history,” she said as she announced the awarding of the prize to Amini and the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in Iran.“The world has heard the chants of ‘Women, Life, Liberty.' Three words that have become a rallying cry for all those standing up for equality, for dignity and for freedom in Iran," Metsola said. Women have played a leading role in the protests, with many publicly removing the compulsory Islamic headscarf, known as the hijab.The 27-nation EU has imposed sanctions on Iranian officials and organizations — including ministers, military officers and Iran’s morality police — for human rights abuses over the protests.“We stand with those who, even from prison, continue to keep women, life and freedom alive,” Metsola said. "By choosing them as laureates for the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought 2023, this House remembers their struggle and continues to honor all those who have paid the ultimate price for liberty.ʺAmini died three days after she was arrested by Iran’s morality police. While authorities said she suffered a heart attack, Amini’s supporters said she was beaten by police and died as a result of her injuries.Her death triggered protests that spread across the country and rapidly escalated into calls for the overthrow of Iran’s four-decade-old Islamic theocracy.Authorities responded with a violent crackdown in which more than 500 people were killed and over 22,000 others were detained, according to rights groups. The demonstrations largely died down early this year, but there are still widespread signs of discontent. For several months, women could be seen openly flaunting the headscarf rule in Tehran and other cities, prompting a renewed crackdown over the summer.The award ceremony will take place on Dec. 13.Last year's prize was awarded to the people of Ukraine and their representatives for their resistance to Russia’s invasion and defiance during the ongoing war.___This story corrects the spelling of the winner's name to Mahsa instead of Masha.。大会以“天生骐骥·创领未来”为核心主题，推动全球独角兽企业落户香港、来港上市、借港出海，助力香港国际创科中心建设。　　据介绍，全球独角兽大会是面向全球独角兽企业、隐形独角兽企业、高成长科技企业、科研院所等的高端创科交流与投融资合作平台。本届大会聚焦人工智能、生物医药、金融科技等领域，打造“论坛、展览、路演、对接、竞赛”五位一体的多元互动场景，促进科技成果落地转化，推动战略新兴产业与未来产业跨区域协同发展。
