AFP picked up five prizes at the 13th Annual Human Rights Press Awards held Saturday in Hong Kong, three for text reporting and two for photography.

The awards, co-organised by Amnesty International, the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents' Club and the Hong Kong Journalists Association, recognise news stories, features, photos, broadcast reports and online articles that highlight human rights -- or the lack of them -- across the Asia Pacific region during 2008, a year when there was the Olympic Games in Beijing, a major cyclone in Myanmar and a quake in China, unrest in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and a vast range of other issues, from AIDS to migrant workers to police brutality.
