Erik Bjerager’s Speech Awarding the Golden Pen of Freedom 2013

"It is fitting, 50 years after the award of only the second-ever Golden Pen to veteran journalist, U Sein Win, that we celebrate once more a laureate from Myanmar. A generation separates the two men, yet common beliefs unite them: a desire for freedom, and the courage to go out into the world and seek it."
