For other winners, such as Aung San Suu Kyi in 1990 and Damas de blanco (Ladies in White) in 2005, close family members or representatives took part in the ceremony but up to now the winners have still not received the prize in person.
Arī 1990.gadā, kad Saharova balvu saņēma Aung San Suu Kyi, un 2005.gadā, kad balva tika piešķirta Ladies in White, uz ceremoniju ieradās laureātu ģimenes locekļi vai pārstāvji.
