No prize for Leyla Yunus
Eastern approaches 2014-10-22
Summary:
LEYLA YUNUS did not win the European Parliament's Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought this year—it went to Denis Mukwege, a Congolese gynecologist who has battled sexual violence against women—but she was one of the three finalists. That gives me an excuse to write about her, and to put it bluntly, she needs the attention.
