Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) awards 2019 Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize jointly to jailed Uighur academic Ilham Tohti and the Balkans-based Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR)
Tohti is an advocate for China's Uyghur Muslim minority who was sentenced to life in prison by Beijing in 2014 on alleged separatism charges.
Uighur economist Ilham Tohti and the Youth Initiative for Human Rights -- a group formed to help postwar reconciliation in the Balkans -- were jointly awarded 2019 Vaclav Havel Human Rights Prize, said the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in a Twitter post. China’s Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region is home to around 13 million Uighurs. The Turkic Muslim group, which makes up around 45 percent of Xinjiang’s population, has long accused China’s authorities of cultural, religious and economic discrimination.
