Musician and longtime anti-Israel activist Roger Waters will present Amnesty International's 2013 Ambassador of Conscience Award.
Waters will be presenting one of two Ambassador of Conscience Awards to singer and activist Harry Belafonte. The other award, presented by U2's Bono, will be given to Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai, who has campaigned for education rights for women and was shot by Taliban militants for her activism.
The former Pink Floyd bassist is known for his calls to boycott Israel, and regularly labels it as an apartheid regime.
Some Jewish media outlets have denounced stage props Waters uses in his performances, which include a giant flying pig with symbols of fascism and communism, dollar signs, and the Star of David on it.
