Francisca Ramirez
The 21st One World festival of human rights films opened today, on Wednesday, March 6, 2019, in Prague, Czech Republic, with a speech delivered by Tibetan prime minister in exile Lobsang Sangay who warned against the threat of Chinese investments in the world and who presented the Homo Homini award to Nicaraguan farmer Francisca Ramirez (photo). The Czech humanitarian organisation People in Need awarded Ramirez for her determination to stand up against land appropriation and the authoritarian rule of President Daniel Ortega and his wife. Ramirez triggered massive protests against a controversial Chinese project of the construction of the Nicaragua Canal. Last summer she had to flee to the neighbouring Costa Rica.
