Martin Schibbye

Martin Schibbye was awarded the 2011 Robespierre Prize with the following justification:

“Martin Schibbye has been awarded Jan Myrdal’s small prize – the Robespierre Prize for his multi-year international solidarity work for Iraq and upstanding authorship in Jan Myrdal’s insubordinate spirit. As editor of Folket i Bild/Kulturfront, he has worked not only in his own articles in the tradition of the ideas of the French enlightenment, transferred to and developed in our time, but also for the same purpose provided space for others.”
