Geneva Summit

The Heroes of Iran — those who rose up in the face of tyranny to demand their basic human rights and dignity, with tens of thousands gunned down, maimed, and slaughtered — received the 2026 Courage Award at the 17th Annual Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy on February 18th, 2025.

The award was accepted by Masih Alinejad, an Iranian journalist, women’s rights activist, and repeated target of attempted assassinations.
