Podcast: The Sakharov Prize, the European Parliament and human rights worldwide

A podcast about Andrei Sakharov and the Sakharov Prize made in conjunction with the exhibition "The Sakharov Prize, the European Parliament and human rights worldwide". Listen to the podcast in all languages in the link below.

What is the Sakharov Prize?

Watch the video by Michaela Medić-Wannenwetsch, a 19 year old English and Politics student from Germany. Here is what inspired Michaela, a child of a refugee from Bosnia and Herzegovina, to create this video as part of All Europa project: ''Being raised in an immigrant family made me interested in justice from a young age, especially for people that must flee their country because of political situations as well as in human rights."

All Europa is a Migration Policy Group project in collaboration with the European Parliament which aims to reach first- and second-generation refugees and EU mobile citizens in six EU countries (France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain and Ireland) and to help their voices be heard. Through the medium of videos, participants can express their opinions and experiences of living within the EU.

White Torture, door Lorent Saleh

Fragmenten van de voorstelling in het Europees Parlement van 18 februari 2020

Lorent Saleh is een van de Sacharovprijswinnaars in 2017 van de democratische oppositie in Venezuela. Op 18 februari voerde hij in de garage van het Europees Parlement in Brussel de performance "White Torture" op. Terwijl hij was opgesloten in een kooi toonde hij het lijden tijdens zijn gevangenschap. Het grootste deel van de vier jaar en twee maanden bevond hij zich in eenzame opsluiting. Saleh reproduceerde met licht- en geluidseffecten de atmosfeer van een martelcentrum. Vrijwilligers speelden de rol van politieagent of gevangene.
