lpv:spoken text	"Colleagues, I have just come from the Conference of Presidents. It is a great privilege and honour for me to inform you about the very important results for all of us. We are fighting for human rights in our Parliament on behalf of 500 million citizens. Following a substantial debate today involving very wide and deep discussions, the Conference of Presidents decided to award the 2010 Sakharov Prize for the freedom of thought to Mr Guillermo Fariñas. Guillermo Fariñas is an independent journalist and political dissident. He was ready to sacrifice and risk his own health and life as a means of pressure to achieve change in Cuba. He used hunger strikes to protest and to challenge the lack of freedom of speech in Cuba, carrying the hopes of all those who care for freedom, human rights and democracy. I hope to present the award to him in person here in Strasbourg in December, which would be a tremendous moment for the European Parliament and for all Cuban prisoners of conscience. I sincerely hope that, together with Guillermo Fariñas, another Cuban laureate from 2005, the Ladies in White will also be able to collect the Sakharov Prize in person. Let me add that all the candidates were excellent from the point of view of our feelings on human rights and fighting for these all over the world. We can congratulate all of them, but we had to make a choice, and there was no other possibility. I would like to underline that we have a lot of winners all over the world and we support all of them. Let us say that once again."@en1
