US EditionFreedom House Announces 2025 Award Recipients
- Freedom House held its annual awards ceremony in Washington, DC, on May 21, 2025, to honor advocates for democracy and freedom.
- The awards reflect ongoing global challenges, including a nearly two-decade decline in freedom and political repression such as the disqualification of María Corina Machado from Venezuela's 2024 presidential race.
- Key honorees included Venezuelan democracy leader María Corina Machado, U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Roger F. Wicker, representatives from Taiwan’s government and civil society, and Crimean Tatar activist Server Mustafayev.
- Machado won over 92% in a 2023 primary and leads efforts amid persecution; Shaheen and Wicker received the Leadership Award for supporting global democracy, while Mustafayev was honored for courage as a political prisoner.
- These awards underscore Freedom House’s commitment to raising awareness about challenges to freedom worldwide and encouraging collective efforts, reflecting the belief that restricting freedom in one place endangers freedom globally.
