Former premier Benazir Bhutto is to be posthumously awarded Ireland’s 2007 Tipperary Peace Prize, the organizers said on Tuesday.
Benazir was recognized for her “courageous” work for democracy and reconciliation, said the Tipperary Peace Convention, which has in the past honoured South Africa’s Nelson Mandela and Live Aid organiser Bob Geldof.
“Benazir fought all her battles through dialogue and was an example to all those who do not use or surrender to terrorism,” it said in a statement.
“Her selection as Peace Prize recipient should act as an inspiration to those in Pakistan who seek to secure democracy and reconciliation for their country,” it added.
The convention said the accolade was to “recognize the very difficult path towards peace and democracy in Pakistan and the ultimate sacrifice made by Benazir in her campaign to put her country back on democracy”.
“She was an incredibly brave and courageous woman who had returned from exile to her homeland to lead her party in the forthcoming elections,” it said.
