Deputy of the Iranian Judiciary's Human Rights Council for international affairs, Kazem Qaribabadi, said the prize will be awarded on Wednesday, August 5, which marks the 25th anniversary of adoption of the Declaration of Islamic Human Rights.
During tomorrow’s ceremony in Tehran, a number of Muslim figures will be also acknowledged for their efforts to defend Muslims’ rights, he added.
