As the Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya attended the Lech Wałęsa Award ceremony at the invitation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Radosław Sikorski.
This year’s award was presented to Georgian journalist Mzia Amaglobeli.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya congratulated the laureate: “I sincerely congratulate Mzia Amaglobeli on this well-deserved recognition. At a time when free speech is becoming a key weapon in the struggle for democracy, the work of independent journalists requires great courage. This award is an important sign of solidarity with everyone fighting for the truth”.
The Lech Wałęsa Award is also of particular importance to Belarusians. Two years ago, the Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet, Pavel Latushka, received the award for his dedicated work in the struggle for democratic change and freedom in Belarus.
