Gmund am Tegernsee (dpa) – Kremlin critic Yulia Navalnaya and her husband Alexei Navalny, who died just a few weeks in the past in a Russian jail, are to obtain this 12 months’s “Freedom Prize of the Media”. The award ceremony is to happen on 19 April on the Ludwig Erhard Summit, named after the previous German chancellor, at Bavaria’s Tegernsee lake. Navalnaya will settle for the award in particular person. Navalnaya and her husband are to be honoured for his or her courageous and non-violent battle in opposition to a brutal dictatorship in Russia, in keeping with a jury assertion. “They’re the faces of a greater, new, free and democratic Russia. They’re the resistance heroes of our time who’re keen to sacrifice their lives for a greater world.”
