I hope to hand over the award to him in person, here in Strasbourg, in December, which would be a tremendous moment for the European Parliament and for all Cuban prisoners of conscience," said Parliament's President Jerzy Buzek, announcing the winner at the plenary session on 21 October.
Es ceru nodot šo balvu viņam personīgi, šeit, Strasbūrā, decembrī; tas būtu ļoti saviļņojošs brīdis visiem Kubas politieslodzītajiem un Eiropas Parlamentam," teica Parlamenta priekšsēdētājs Jeržijs Buzeks pasludinot balvas laureātu 21. oktobra plenārsēdē.
