Her high profile as a journalist, and her fearless reporting on her government, has led to her being the target of endless legal attacks. But also, the recipient of an extraordinary array of honors and awards. She was included in Time Magazine’s most influential people list in 2019, and more recently, she won the UNESCO Press Freedom Prize for 2021.
