Germany’s NGO Die AnStifter Wednesday granted the Stuttgart Peace Prize 2020 to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who remains detained in the Belmarsh prison in London. The Stuttgart Peace Prize is awarded annually to people or projects who are particularly committed to peace, justice, and solidarity. The award for Assange is “a sign that the right to unconditional freedom of information and the press is not only protected but enforced,” the Die AnStifter chairwoman Annette Ohme-Reinicke said.
