Well, try to find some relaxation if you can.
Yeah, actually we always found some relax.
After the long day of working at night,
we have some way to find fun, especially here in New York.
- Well, congratulations. - Thank you, thank you.
And thank you for what you do.
I think the whole world is inspired by your efforts.
- And, uh, keep fighting. - Thank you.
Fabulous.
Okay.
Maybe a little smile?
- Possibly.
You're so serious, my friend.
Everyone in this room can name real journalistic heroes,
and yet the men and women
of raqqa is being slaughtered silently
are somehow singular.
They work in secret and under constant threat,
reporting on the depredations of Isis in their home city.
Some have fled in fear for their own lives.
Even in exile, they are in no way safe.
It's incredibly, incredibly humbling to present
the 2015 international press freedom award
to the brave men and women
of raqqa is being slaughtered silently.
Public executions
in what was raqqa's paradise square.
Anyone considered an enemy of Isis is killed here.
Their bodies put on display.
By the time the emergency services showed up,
all they could do was carry out the bodies
of fares hamadi and Ibrahim Abdul qader.
Both were members of a group of activists
who risk their lives to tell the world
what's going on in their hometown of raqqa.
Both men were beheaded.
Perfect. Okay.
Okay.
Mm.
Isis propaganda photos purport to show a calm city.
Its fighters boast about enjoying
their favorite imported food,
but these photos show otherwise,
say activists inside raqqa.
Children line up for handouts at an emergency soup kitchen.
Chronic food shortages and hyperinflation,
hospitals are empty of supplies,
the start of a terrifying cycle
to daily life in the Isis stronghold.
Videos smuggled out of the Isis stronghold
and used by media outlets are the only way to see
what life is like under extremist rule.
Videos designed to embarrass Isis,
contrary to Isis' claims
that the so-called islamic state is prosperous and thriving.
Hello?
Hello.
Naji jerf was shot in broad daylight
on a busy street in Southern Turkey
near the Syrian border.
Jerf worked with a group
known as raqqa is being slaughtered silently.
Hey, hey.
Okay.

Thank you.
One-way ticket!
Please leave this side open to the people who are walking.
In France, Isis has claimed responsibility
for the fatal stabbing of a French police commander.
French president Fran�ois hollande
called the killing uncontestably a terrorist act.
The last 18 months
has seen France suffer three deadly attacks.
50 killed in that shooting
overnight at the pulse nightclub,
far and away the worst mass shooting now
in American history.
Radicals who appear to have been inspired by Isis.
Isis says it was behind a deadly attack in Berlin
where this truck plowed through a holiday market,
killing at least a dozen people.
Much of what we know about atrocities
committed by Isis in Syria
comes from courageous citizens armed with smartphones.
The dozen activists are pulling back the curtain
on the horrors of Isis rule in their small city.
Mohamad mousara is a former
high-school math teacher
who helped found the raqqa group.
"I need to stay alive," mohamad told us.
"Keep getting the word out."
Thank you.
It's incredibly, incredibly humbling to present
the 2015 international press freedom award
to the brave men and women
of raqqa is being slaughtered silently.
Thank you.
Members of raqqa is being slaughtered silently
are no different from any one of you.
We love our home, and we have dreams
of raising a family and living happy.
The evil which began in Syria will not stop there.
The power of good that is given to us by god
should be used to confront the evil.
We dedicate this award
to our friends who gave their lives.
We also dedicate this award
to undercover heroes of our campaigns
and the entire people of the city of raqqa.
Thank you.
