A Cambodian psychiatrist treating victims of the Khmer Rouge and a French environmentalist cleaning up Indonesian rivers were among the winners Wednesday of the 2022 Ramon Magsaysay Award — considered Asia’s Nobel Prize.
The annual award, established in 1957 and named after a Philippine president who died in a plane crash, honours those who have performed “selfless service to the peoples of Asia”.
The foundation that runs the award named four winners in an online announcement.
