The general secretary of the National Union of Press Workers (SNTP)Marco Ruíz, received this Thursday, March 2, the Human Rights Award from the Canadian Embassy in Venezuela, in its 12th edition.

The SNTP indicated that the work was recognized for “the defense of the freedom of expression and his fight in favor of the free press».

When Marco Ruíz’s award was announced in December 2022, the embassy indicated that “he has been considered a mentor to numerous journalists and has fought against persecution to ensure that cases of missing or detained journalists are documented and defended.”

Upon receiving the award this Thursday, the Secretary of the SNTP stated that “a journalist is a defender when, through the exercise of his profession, he promotes human rights. The work of journalists makes defenders and victims visible, denounces and vindicates”.

For its part, the Union pointed out on its social networks that “the SNTP family is proud of this important recognition that fills us with emotion and reaffirms that we are on the right path in this fight for freedom of expression. This award is, above all, for the network of volunteer delegates”.
