"Dear colleagues, today marks the 20th anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in South Africa after serving 27 years of a life sentence imposed by the regime in 1984.
As you perhaps know, Mr Mandela was the first winner of the Sakharov Prize when Parliament instituted this prize in 1988.
Marking this 20th anniversary of the release of Nelson Mandela from prison, Jerzy Buzek, the President of the European Parliament, said: ‘Nelson Mandela is an inspiration and remains in the hearts and minds of so many people throughout Europe, Africa and the entire world. Nelson Mandela’s name will forever be linked to the fight for freedom, justice and democracy. Nelson Mandela’s fortitude in demanding integrity in democratic life, human rights and reconciliation in relating to past adversaries has set the highest of standards for us to follow and aspire to.
‘Nelson Mandela’s continuing fight and charitable work to defeat HIV/AIDS means that he remains a ray of hope for millions of people around the world.
‘Twenty years on, we uphold Nelson Mandela’s message that: “it’s in our hands”.’"@en1
