Georgian rights group GYLA wins Right Livelihood Award

Original: Georgian rights group GYLA receives 2026 Right Livelihood Award

The Georgian Young Lawyers' Association (GYLA), a human rights organisation founded in Tbilisi in 1994, has been named a recipient of the 2026 Right Livelihood Award, often called the 'alternative Nobel Prize'. The honour recognises the group's decades of work defending rule of law and civil liberties, coming as Georgia faces political tension and criticism over its democratic trajectory.

Why now: The award comes amid heightened concern over democratic backsliding in Georgia, making recognition of its civil society timely.
