'Human rights watch' to give top prize to terror tweeter, advocate of murdering Israelis
Given what we already know about 'human rights watch,' it should not be too surprising that they are choosing to honor a tweeter for terror and an advocate of murdering Israelis with their highest honor.
GENEVA, April 30, 2013 – A jury comprised of Human Rights Watch and nine other NGOs has nominated an Egyptian activist for the prestigious Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders, even though she tweeets for terror, reports the Geneva-based UN Watch. (See below UNW's open letter to Ken Roth, head of Human Rights Watch, a key member of the jury.)
Read the whole thing.
Several Egyptian human rights activists expressed shock at the nomination. Amr Bakly, who heads the Cairo Liberal Forum, tweeted: "The Martin Ennals Award is not for terrorist supporters. . . Mona Saif is a terrorist supporter!" Maikel Nabil, a former Amnesty International prisoner of conscience, jailed by Egypt in 2011 for his human rights activism, also expressed alarm: "The Martin Ennals Award can be awarded to Mona Seif if its committee is able to explain to the victims of terrorism why they deserve to be killed by those whom Mona supports."
