Ketty Nivyabandi, secretary-general of Amnesty International Canada, said this year’s winning stories were honest, eye-opening and nuanced at a time where human-rights reporting is as important as it has ever been.

Mr. Ibrahimi told Ms. Dickson it was a dream coming to Canada after six months stranded in Pakistan.
