Newyork, Mon Jun 24 2013
Prominent legal activist Amrit Singh has been honoured for her groundbreaking work in the field of human rights law, along with a number of other noted Indian-Americans including US Congressman Ami Bera and USAID chief Rajiv Raj Shah.
Singh, 43, the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, is a senior legal officer for National Security and Counterterrorism at the New York-based Open Society Justice Initiative.
She received the India Abroad Publisher's Special Award for Excellence 2012 at an event organised by 'India Abroad' on Friday to honour Indian-American achievers in a wide range of professions.
Singh's report 'Globalising Torture: CIA Secret Torture and Extraordinary Rendition', published by the Open Society Justice Initiative, had received widespread attention in the international media for its close look at the global torture network. [Indian Express]
