In view of its extraordinary work in the defense of the socioeconomic and political rights of Egyptian workers CTUWS has been chosen by SOLIDAR to receive a special prize honoring its work for civil society.
SOLIDAR is a large European NGO network, whose membership is composed of European NGOs and trade unions working in the field of socioeconomic rights and has played an important role in Seattle. Every year the SOLIDAR Silver Rose prize is given to two European NGOs or individuals known for their work in defense of civil society. That year SOKLIDAR decided to nominate CTUWS for a special prize, which for the first time will be granted to an organization from outside Europe.
Kamal Abbas, general coordinator of CTUWS has been received the prize on behalf of his colleagues in CTUWS on Wednesday the 18th of October in Brussels. In his address note to SOLIDAR Kamal Abbas has called on European civil society to express its support and solidarity with the struggles of third world peoples for their socioeconomic and political rights and the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people for their right to life and their land.
This is the second time that CTUWS receives a prize. In 1999 CTUWS has received the French Republic's Prize for Human Rights.
