Presenting the ALBA/Puffin Award for Human Rights Activism to Lydia Cacho and Jeremy Scahill.

Jeremy Scahill and Lydia Cacho have courageously used their investigative journalism to expose reactionary forces and the information they wish to conceal.”
–Perry Rosenstein, Puffin Foundation President
“Cacho and Scahill both shine as rare examples of investigative journalists who place human rights at the center of their work.”
