Il 16 febbraio 2024, in una remota colonia penale artica, è morto in circostanze misteriose Alexei Navalny, la voce più autorevole dell'opposizione russa. Noto per aver denunciato la corruzione e per essere stato un fervente critico del presidente Vladimir Putin, nel 2021 gli era stato assegnato il Premio Sacharov del Parlamento europeo per la libertà di pensiero.

The Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, named in honour of the Soviet physicist and political dissident Andrei Sakharov, is awarded each year by the European Parliament. It was set up in 1988 to honour individuals and organisations defending human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Each nominee must have the support of at least 40 MEPs, and each individual Member may support only one nominee. Signed nominations accompanied by supporting evidence are then assessed in a joint meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET), the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) and the Committee on Development (DEVE). A shortlist of three candidates is drawn up through a vote by AFET and DEVE committees, and then submitted to the Conference of Presidents for a final vote. The winner is usually announced in October, and the award ceremony takes place in November/December at plenary sitting in Strasbourg.

Diritti umani e libertà di espressione sono i principi su cui è stata fondata L'Unione europea. E' per questo motivo che il Parlamento europeo sostiene paesi come la Tunisia nel loro continuo impegno per la democrazia. Un sostegno che si esprime attraverso l'azione legale e politica, con iniziative come il Premio Sakharov e la Borsa di studio Sakharov. Vi presentiamo Asma Kaouech, attivista tunisina e borsista Sakharov, che ci racconta la sua storia

Diritti umani

Dal bilancio dell'UE per il prossimo anno, al divieto totale degli erbicidi a base di glifosati entro il 2022 e al vincitore del Premio Sakharov 2017: ecco i cinque dati da considerare da Strasburgo.

5 dati da considerare da Strasburgo

Il rispetto per i diritti umani è uno dei valori fondamentali dell'Unione europea: qualunque violazione di tali diritti influisce negativamente sui principi democratici su cui è fondata la nostra società. Il Parlamento europeo combatte tali violazioni attraverso azioni legislative e inserendo i diritti umani nei suoi accordi commerciali esterni. Il Parlamento europeo sostiene i diritti umani anche con l'assegnazione annuale del premio Sacharov per la libertà di pensiero a coloro che abbiano dato un contributo eccezionale alla lotta per i diritti umani.

Premio Sacharov per la libertà di pensiero.

Nella seconda seduta plenaria di ottobre, il PE decide e annuncia il vincitore del Premio Sakharov 2017 per la libertà di pensiero. Inoltre, affronta le questioni concernenti un nuovo sistema di entrata e uscita alle frontiere, un maggiore controllo dell'esposizione alle sostanze cancerogene sul posto di lavoro, la protezione degli informatori e molto altro.

Prossimamente: il premio Sakharov, i controlli di frontiera, gli informatori e altro

La seconda metà del 2017 è già fitta di impegni: dal dibattito sullo stato dell'Unione europea, al premio LUX e al premio Sakharov per la libertà di pensiero, l'emergenza migratoria, il cambiamento climatico, l'equilibrio tra vita privata e professionale, i lavoratori distaccati e i cookie.

Prossimamente nel secondo semestre del 2017
