Francesca Albanese to receive award from Amnesty International in secret Paris ceremony - report
According to the Telegraph, the ceremony will take place in Paris, and will be kept private and "highly confidential" for "security reasons."
Amnesty International will honor United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese with the Ambassador of Conscience award in a clandestine ceremony on December 7 in Paris, according to The Telegraph. The award ceremony aims to raise funds for the organization, with national directors and major donors urged to attend. The award recognizes Albanese for her outspoken criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, which has led to accusations of antisemitism from Israeli supporters.
Amnesty International maintains that the award is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to human rights and dignity, and condemns any attempts to discredit or silence those working to protect human rights.
