A jury of press specialists chose the Netizen winner  blogging group Nawaat.org, which is granted a €2,500 ($3,450) prize. Riadh Guerfali, or Astrubal, accepted the award Friday.
The prize is backed by Google because, as regional President Carlo d’Asaro Biondo said, it “defends our company’s core values“making information accessible to all.
RSF Secretary General Jean-Francois Julliard said Net freedom is fragile with 119 people currently detained for expressing opinions online, mainly in China, Iran and Vietnam.
