The Student Human Rights Reporter Award is run by Amnesty International UK, in partnership with NUS, The Observer and Pullitzer Center for Crisis Reporting.
Last year's winner was Amy Mackinnon (above) with her article The Curious Case of John Oguchuckwu for the Glasgow Guardian:
"Human rights journalism is not an end in itself, but rather a means to an end. My sincere hope for this article was to raise the profile of the way in which John was so ceremonially stripped of his human rights. I hope that this nomination will help to raise the profile of John's case, and the plight of thousands others like him."
