September 24, 2014 - Bukavu, Congo: Congolese gynecologist Doctor Denis Kukwege. On October 21, European lawmakers have unanimously awarded their top human rights prize, the Sakharov Prize, to Mukwege who campaigns against sexual violence targeting women in war. Mukwege, 59, set up the Panzi Hospital in eastern Congo's Bukavu in 1998 and still works with victims of sexual violence there. On January 1, 2015, the Congolese hospital renowned for treating war rape victims has had its bank accounts frozen for alleged tax fraud, preventing it from paying its staff and prompting them to go on strike. The Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, run by Dr Denis Mukwege, says it is being unfairly targeted by the authorities in Democratic Republic of Congo. (Jukka Grondahl/MV Photos/Polaris)
