Notes: Andrzej Poczobut from Belarus and Mzia Amaghlobeli from Georgia won the 2025 Sakharov Prize. The Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought is the European Union’s (EU) highest human rights award, established in 1988. The prize is named after Soviet dissident and Nobel Peace laureate Andrei Sakharov. It honours individuals or groups defending human rights and fundamental freedoms. The winners are chosen by the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament, including leaders of all political groups, ensuring a European selection. The award carries an endowment of €50,000 and is presented annually in December at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
