Human Rights Watch Annual Dinner 2010
Honoring those who speak out where there is silence

Each year Human Rights Watch honors individuals who have put their lives and safety at risk in the name of defending human rights. Join us at the Voices for Justice annual dinner where we will honor these human rights defenders with The Alison Des Forges Award for Extraordinary Activism, our highest award.
