ISLAMABAD: International Republican Institute (IRI), renowned for conducting various political surveys in Pakistan, has awarded Federal Minister for Information Sherry Rehman the title of ‘democracy’s hero’ for her struggle for democracy in the country.
According to IRI, Sherry worked diligently to initiate democratic reforms and was the architect of several bills in support of press freedom and women’s empowerment.
She worked closely with former prime minister Benazir Bhutto to campaign for the restoration of democracy in Pakistan, and braved tear-gassing and confinement by security agencies on several occasions. app (Daily Times)
