Press Freedom Under Spotlight at Magnitsky Human Rights Awards

Henry Ridgwell

   LONDON - The Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, who was jailed in Russia
   following Moscow's illegal annexation of Crimea, and murdered Saudi
   journalist Jamal Khashoggi were among those honored at the recent
   Magnitsky Awards ceremony in London.

   Sentsov was given the 2018 Human Rights Award at the ceremony in London
   Thursday -- a year late, as he only was released from jail in
   September. He was arrested in Crimea in May 2014, and later convicted
   on false terrorism charges. He was released as part of a prisoner
   exchange between Russia and Ukraine.
