A | BRUSSELS -- Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in police custody in Iran last year, sparking worldwide protests against the country’s conservative Islamic theocracy, has been named a finalist for the European Union’s top human rights prize.The European Parliament on Thursday announced the three finalists for this year’s Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, including Amini and “the Woman, Life, Freedom Movement in Iran.”The selection was “in recognition of their brave effort to stand up for women's rights," said David McAllister, the chair of the foreign affairs committee at the EU Parliament.Amini died on Sept. 16, 2022, after she was arrested for allegedly violating Iran’s mandatory headscarf law.The other nominees are Vilma Nunez de Escorcia and Roman Catholic Bishop Rolando Álvarez — two emblematic figures in the fight for the defense of human rights in Nicaragua — and a trio of women from Poland, El Salvador and the United States leading a fight for “free, safe and legal abortion.”Amini died three days after she was arrested by Iran's morality police, allegedly for violating laws that require women to cover their hair in public. While authorities said she suffered a heart attack, Amini’s supporters said she was beaten by police and died as a result of her injuries.Her death triggered protests that spread across the country and rapidly escalated into calls for the overthrow of Iran’s four-decade-old Islamic theocracy.Authorities responded with a violent crackdown in which more than 500 people were killed and over 22,000 others were detained, according to rights groups. The demonstrations largely died down early this year, but there are still widespread signs of discontent. For several months, women could be seen openly flaunting the headscarf rule in Tehran and other cities, prompting a renewed crackdown over the summer.The EU award, named for Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, was created in 1988 to honor individuals or groups who defend human rights and fundamental freedoms. Sakharov, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, died in 1989.The winner will be announced on Oct. 19.。 9월 11일까지 구민 누구나 참여…균형발전·상생복지 등 6대 분야 대상조사 결과 실행계획·핵심 추진사업 선정에 반영 김경호 광진구청장. 광진구청 제공서울 광진구는 민선9기 공약사업에 대한 주민 의견을 수렴하기 위해 다음 달 11일까지 온라인 설문조사를 실시한다고 26일 밝혔다.이번 설문조사는 민선9기 공약사업을 구민에게 알리고 주민들의 관심과 정책 수요를 파악해 공약 추진 방향과 우선순위를 정하기 위해 마련됐다. 광진구민이면 누구나 광진구청 홈페이지를 통해 참여할 수 있다.설문은 민선9기 공약사업의 6대 핵심 분야인 △균형발전 △상생복지 △경제활력 △문화교육 △안전환경 △열린소통 가운데 구민이 관심을 두는 분야와 각 분야에서 가장 기대하는 사업 등을 묻는 내용으로 구성됐다.구는 조사 결과를 종합적으로 분석해 주민 관심도가 높은 분야와 사업을 파악할 예정이다. 이를 민선9기 공약사업 실행계획 수립과 핵심·우선 추진 사업 선정에도 반영한다.김경호 광진구청장은 “민선9기 공약은 구민과의 약속인 만큼 정책을 구체화하는 과정에서도 주민의 목소리를 충실히 반영하는 것이 중요하다”며 “구민들의 의견을 바탕으로 우선순위를 면밀히 정하고 생활 속에서 변화를 체감할 수 있는 공약사업을 속도감 있게 추진하겠다”고 말했다.。
